The Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader

IIPM Mumbai Campus

A fun adventure crafted from the body of a fine tale

Anyone with a bit of an imagination would be immediately drawn into CS Lewis’s “Chronicles of Narnia” series of books where Lewis creates the fantasy world of Narnia, that via their wardrobe the Pevensie family children land up in. The third movie in the popular franchise does decent justice to visually build an exciting canvas on which the adventures are showcased and also does a fair job of weaving the story well enough for both new and old fans. The Pevensie children – Lucy and Edmund and their cousin Eustace land up on the ‘Dawn Treader’, the ship being captained by Prince Caspian (technically King Caspian, since the Prince they met in the last installment of the story had overthrown the evil King Miraz who was ruling Narnia). Caspian embarks on a voyage across the sea to the edge of the world, one that brings in the usual elements of adventure as the crew meets dragons, warriors and other oddities along the way.The action is nicely done, peppered with good natured humour which makes the film a pleasant watch. The depth of the messages, which ostensibly are embedded in Lewis’ books, do not have much role here in what is brazenly executed as a family entertainer. But that doesn’t demean the source material and the actors – Georgie Henley (Lucy), Skandar Keynes (Edmund) and Ben Barnes (Caspian) seem to be enjoying the outing. Simon Pegg as the voice of the little mouse Reepicheep is a hoot as usual and injects an extra dash of energy. “Voyage of the Dawn Treader” is a nice trip made worthwhile by the good CGI background work in creating the wondrous world of Lewis’ fabulous imagination.
