What to Know

Critics Consensus

Its leisurely, businesslike pace won't win the franchise many new fans, but Voyage of the Dawn Treader restores some of the Narnia franchise's lost luster with strong performances and impressive special effects.

The faux-Odyssean trials the characters face are also paradoxically so strained that they often look more arbitrary than thoughtful. Go to Full Review

Not quite a must-see, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader is nonetheless a sturdy outing with many of the charms that have become franchise trademarks. Go to Full Review

You can't help wishing the film well, though doubting whether it will get anywhere near Harry Potter's lot at the box office. Go to Full Review

As a sequel, I must say, it boasts visual effects that decently enhance its fantastical swashbuckling adventure, but it's marred by a mediocre narrative that flounders in inconsistent waters. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

More importantly, the journey of our younger Pevensies, the emergence of Eustace, and the dashing heroics of a more mature Caspian this time around and the trusty Reepicheep make for rich storytelling. Go to Full Review

Paul S @PManRager 3d ***SPOILERS***. Out of the trilogy, I would say this one failed to provide a captivating story compared to the first two. The absence of Peter and Susan, while it is accurate to the books, makes the movie feel incredibly empty. Even with its flaws, I still enjoyed the movie, and it was still an incredibly lighthearted and uplifting adventure that made me smile. I definitely recommend it for fantasy, action, and adventure fans, and for fans of The Chronicles of Narnia book series! See more Noah H. @Noah85 Jun 13 This is by far the worst movie in the series. Peter and Susan don’t come back and instead the only OG characters we have left are Edmund and Lucy. And while they are still very cute together, this movie pairs them with a bunch of new characters and doesn’t make you care about them ALL. I don’t remember a single good action scene or a nice heartfelt moment in this. I mean, Aslan comes back again and he’s still awesome as ever, but he’s still not enough to save the movie. Even the score in this I thought was boring. I don’t know if Harry Gregson-Willliams came back to make the music or not, but the score in this movie didn’t emotionally move me at all. Overall, this just didn’t have the heart of the first 2. Oh, well. Can’t say I recommend it. Worst Narnia movie ever. Rating: 2/10 See more Frances C @RT81523841 Apr 16 Such a good third film with such satisfying character arcs, multiple incredible plot lines and so many new elements introduced whilst still leading on from Prince Caspian and onto the Silver Chair with Jill’s name being dropped at the end. I wish sooooooo much the rights hadn’t been dropped 3 times for the fourth one 😭😭 See more Vanessa G @nessa503 Jan 25 yall clearly don’t see what im seeing in this movie, all yall doing is hating. See more Leaburn O @RT35452347 Dec 26 It gets bonus points for finally eliminating that guy who plays Peter from almost the whole film. He destroyed the series. Only thing of note was an early career performance by Will Poulter. However, it’s still utter garbage and not a fun watch at all. Saw it on DVD. See more Youssef K. @KingJoeyseph56 Dec 20 Very unlike characters, boring plot = a big pile of complete mess! 😡 See more Read all reviews
