After the imaginatively staid & boring "Prince Caspian", "Dawn Treader" at least TRIES to claim back some of the whimsical vision of the Narnia world (Eustace dragon, one-legged invisible dwarves, book of incantations), & much of that is pretty decent. Unfortunately, it's drenched in distractingly awful CGI & green screen, even when it seems completely unnecessary. Worse yet, the characters are unbearable, with Edmund having grown into a sniveling brat, & Caspian as vanilla as ever.

Boring. Just, boring. From one of the most promising franchises of the 21st century, comes the underwhelming 3rd installment, that lacks the fun and imaginativeness of the first one, and the tension and epic battles of the second. It's dull, confusing, boring and disappointing, and while the CGI and the acting is quite good, you can't stop feeling disappointed. Because it's Narnia, doesn't mean it's good. Some scenes are really cheesy, such as when Lucy is carried by invisible people with only one leg, and when a sea serpent appears, just because that was the first thing that came to his mind. I mean, seriously. You can see it's not Andrew Adamson, and that change of director sort of ruined it. And also, it's sad to see that while Edward and the rest of them are fighting with a sea serpent, Lucy just lounges on the bottom deck. Definitely not worth watching. You'll probably fall asleep by the middle chapter. Terrible. Thanks a lot, Michael Apted. (Sarcasm)

I didn't much care for the last Narnia movie, since Peter and Susan were to leave Narnia for good and for their younger siblings to 'learn' more about themselves.Honestly when I was a kid, I loved these movies, and now as I've become more in tune with my opinion I notice LOADS of flaws.One; The camera is constantly moving, which DOES give for a more action, moving and free movie. But compared to the first movie, this in comparison looks like a B class movie, there's careless mistakes, like the moving of the camera when the scene calls for a 'calm' or 'still' shot. Seriously, it looks like something that a teenager would make in the sense they don't know about anything about filming.Two; The acting was okay, it seemed forced almost in the beginning. I didn't quite believe the 'Oh i'm not pretty' cliché, fair enough, Susan is a lot prettier than Lucy, and the 'hair behind the ear' put me off Lucy all together. But seriously? Lucy's character had always been brave, naive and strong but all that had been stripped away the last movie because it had been her brothers and sister protecting her, what is she doing now? all we have is the silly teenage predicament of 'am I beautiful'.three; the graphics, and the special effects wasn't that good either. I mean if anybody watches this movie and notices the flaws in the ship, the green magic, and other 'scenic' shots. it does seem a bit fake.Further more, i'd watch this with my kids someday if they really really really liked the first movie and second movie, and it was something to shut them up so.

If you enjoyed The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe and The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian and have high hopes for this third Narnian installment and hopes that it will be as good as its predecessors then I think you'll be disappointed. I was myself displeased with the movie. Its script is weak, its pacing is businesslike and empty and the lion Aslan is horribly CGI designed unlike the previous Narnia chapters where he was so wonderfully CGI designed. However, this third Narnian chapter does improve upon its predecessors on a few levels: it has more magic, more Narnian creatures and the main danger in the film is bigger, the challenges are higher and they're all striking. The character of Eustace makes for an impressive new-coming character entrance with powerful personalities. The movie includes other wholly amazing elements such as Lucy trying to be more beautiful than what she is and realizing the terrible consequences that could arise from such a thought, Eustace's thought- provoking character development, the unusual relationship between Eustace and Reepicheep at the end of the film, Reepicheep's dream of entering Aslan's Country, Aslan's country featured as big rising waves, the Sea Snake design and more still. My rating: 6.0/10
