Overview:
Edmund and Lucy Pevensie, along with their cousin Eustace, are swallowed into a painting and transported back to Narnia and the magnificent ship The Dawn Treader. They join King Caspian and a warrior mouse named Reepicheep for a mission which holds the fate of Narnia itself. The courageous voyagers overcome their own greatest temptations, as they travel to mysterious islands; have fateful confrontations with magical creatures and sinister enemies; and reunite with their friend and protector, the "Great Lion" Aslan.

| One of my favorite scenes of this movie is when Aslan shows up to confront Lucy about the issue of vanity. |
My Review:
Christian author, C.S. Lewis's, The Chronicles of Narnia book series are the inspiration behind all Chronicles of Narnia movies. Both the movies and book series are known primarily for valuable moral lessons, Christian analogies, adventure, and fun...all of which "The Voyage Of the Dawn Trader" (most recent movie) had.
The storyline was pretty straight forward and easy to follow. It had clean humor throughout the film, which is quite rare these days. I must admit that this movie wasn't as great as the previous Narnia movies ("The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe" and "Prince Caspian"). None the less, it was still good. What made the movie good instead of great? Well, I saw the movie in 3-D. I think this took away from the quality of the visual effects. Most scenes did not have noticeable 3D effects...it didn't enhance the film as I thought 3-D effects should do. Maybe I should go see the movie in 2D?
Overall, I recommend this movie for all ages to see. Within this movie there are great lessons in vanity, ego, faith, and courage, something we all can get a little schooling on. Most importantly, I'm sure this was what C.S. Lewis hoped to accomplish when writing the Narnia books.
