I had to see this to finish off the trilogy and it's the worst one.
I wouldn't class this as a good or bad film, it's in a weird sorta in-between to me.
'The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader' is, comparatively, bad. It loses the vibe and all the intrigue that the first film has, as it continues the downward trajectory set by the other sequel. However, it's still just about got a decent adventure feel to it.
Only two of the youngsters reprise their roles 'properly', those being Georgie Henley (Lucy) and Skandar Keynes (Edmund). I'd always prefer a cast to remain the same, but if I'm honest this doesn't miss William Moseley (Peter) and Anna Popplewell (Susan) all that much. That argument is helped by the arrival of a young Will Poulter as Eustace. He's great.
Plot-wise is where it gets meh. I didn't care for it, even if I did like its swashbuckling nature. I can see many finding enjoyment with it, but for me it doesn't quite come out positively unfortunately - it's sluggish. The ship set also feels rather cheap.
Not at all a bad film; one that was interestingly made without the involvement of Disney, Walden Media joined up with Fox instead. I just couldn't find enough entertainment in it.
Another Narnia sequel that will keep your attention but isn’t as memorable as the first film.
Despite its great performances and excellent special effects the movie fails in its plot which is chaotic. It feels like they wanted to present as many things as possible but didn't know how to do it in a consistent way, resulting in a poorly executed movie. The story is not thrilling because it is all over the place.
Well, rather boring! I still only like the 1st Narnian movie and think the others, like the books, are quite crappy!
I wanted to like this movie. The Witch and the Wardrobe was great, Prince Caspian not so much, but Voyage of the Dawn Treader was probably the last Narnia I'll ever watch.. The special effects are awesome, the creatures they run into are great and the whole concept of hopping from island to island to discover virtues and sins to help the kids grow up is great. Unfortunately I found the execution incredibly weak.
They tried to put too much content in the movie, so I ended up catching glimpses of fascinating places, persons and stories, but never got a chance to really get into the story. It felt like a 90-minute teaser for upcoming Narnia-movies, which would be great if they would actually expand upon it in later sequels, but I'm afraid they won't..
I guess I'll pick up the books to experience the story via a better suited medium.
This was my first watch, though it was a shame we didn't get as much of the whole gang together (and some voice actors have changed) it was good to see the last installment. It is a shame they kept the Aslan being Jesus reference as it wasn't a very natural name drop.
The adventures in Narnia come to an end in the touching and thrilling third installment The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. This time Edmund and Lucy Pevensie, along with their cousin Eustace, are brought to Narnia to aid Caspian in his quest to find the missing Seven Lords and free Narnia from a mysterious Green Mist that threatens to overwhelm the land. The film provides a great conclusion to both the Pevensies’ personal journey and to the Narnian adventures. Additionally, the special effects deliver some new and amazing creations that keep Narnia a fresh and imaginative world (even after two previous films). The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader is a beautiful film that’s magical and adventurous.
I sit through 90 minutes of it to see Reepicheep. Gets me every time.

This movie isn't very good but considering the source material they were working with I cannot really blame them. I read all of the Narnia books and this is the only one that really seemed like a chore. Every story is really disconnected and the dialogue was average at best. However, I am glad to see that the movie series is going to get a chance at the Silver Chair. It should be a lot better than this.

My favourite book of the series but the film just did not do it justice. The return of the White Witch (again, even though she doesn't appear in either Prince Caspian or The Voyage of the Dawn Treader) was just a sign of how little faith the company has in the series. Cast were fantastic just written out of character. Hopefully Andrew Adamson returns in some capacity to guide the series back on track.
