Movie Reviews

Movie Review from EmpireOnline.com

Thanks to its snow-hugged setting and Santa cameo, first Narnian excursion The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe felt perfectly Christmassy. Which is part of the reason why the dollars it made for Disney back in the winter of 2005 were so much bigger than those of its follow-up, Prince Caspian, released in summer and set in more temperate climes. Unlike Warner’s hugely successful but repetitive Potter — which Disney hoped it could match — CS Lewis’ Chronicles aren’t set to a template. Each entry finds its own distinct tone, even if they share characters and a religious undercurrent.

Movie Review from TotalFilm.com

It’s fair to say that part three of the Narnia franchise at least arrives with an air of freshness about it: new director (Michael Apted), new studio (Fox), new composer, new cinematographer and new voice for warrior-mouse Reepicheap (Simon Pegg, riffing on Basil Brush). Nothing, it seems, was sacred in attempting to re-boot after the underperforming Prince Caspian. It’s back to Narnian basics here: enchanting critters, gorgeous production design and fairytale landscapes. Even the Pevensies have been cut down to size, the elder two (now in America, per the book) relegated with Tilda Swinton to dream-sequence cameos.

With Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 still raking in untold millions at the box office, another book-based fantasy franchise, The Chronicles of Narnia, makes a decidedly less conspicuous return this week with The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, the third chapter of C.S. Lewis’ faith-based tale of the Pevensie siblings and their magical, instructional adventures. With the elder Pevensies, Peter and Susan, now too old to enter Narnia, the burden falls upon young Lucy (Georgie Henley) and Edmund (Skandar Keynes) to save the mythical realm when a new evil emerges to threaten it: the green mist.

Movie Review from Guardian.co.uk

Perhaps the looming Harry Potter finale has caused a case of fantasy-kids-adventure overload, but the third episode in the Narnia saga – which began so brightly with a tremendous version of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe – is a bit of damp squib. It’s a good-looking film but can’t quite live up to its terrific opening scene, in which the sea in a painting of the Dawn Treader appears to move, and the picture becomes a window on to a magical world: great stuff on the page and, to be fair, well done on screen.

Movie Review from TimeOut.com

If you can detect nostalgic hues of red, white and blue in the American-financed trilogy of adaptations of CS Lewis’s crypto-Christian ‘Narnia’ Chronicles – the Plantagenet red of Peter Pevensie’s battle dress, the hoary blanche of the White Witch – it is the wild blue yonder and vast aquamarine skies that dominate this rollicking, third, seafaring episode. Here, the younger Pevensies, Lucy (Georgie Henley) and Edmund (Skandar Keynes), with prig cousin Eustace (Will Poulter), take the helm. They’re swept up in a wave of brine cascading from a painting in their Cambridge home, to be reunited with Prince, now King, Caspian (Ben Barnes) and mouse Reepicheep aboard retro Elizabethan galleon The Dawn Treader.

Movie Review from Movies.com

Lightening the mood from its violent predecessor (2008′s The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian), the series’ third outing finds more agile footing as a rousing children’s adventure – even if the plot is clumsily adapted from C.S. Lewis’s source novel. Packed to the brim with good old-fashioned questing, mystical creatures and magical tests, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader’s script also has an unfortunate video-game feel thanks to a tacked-on mission involving a never-explained evil mist that can only be defeated by collecting seven magical swords from the far reaches of the world. (Clunky CG animation and 3D conversion with no added value don’t help.)

Movie Review from Telegraph.co.uk

After the lukewarm reception to the second film adaptation of CS Lewis’s Narnia series, the frankly dreary Prince Caspian, it seemed the entire franchise might founder; Disney abruptly withdrew from financing it. But 20th Century Fox took over the challenge, and now the thought occurs that Disney may have acted over hastily: this third chronicle, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, puts the series firmly back on track.
