20th Century Fox has taken over the distribution rights of the Narnia series of films and its first release is the spectacular The Voyage Of The Dawn Treader.The four Pevensie children have been split up: the older two are in the United States while the younger two (Edmund and Lucy) are hold up at their Uncle’s home, sharing the house with their obnoxious and oh so logical cousin (Eustace). Needless to say they do not get along especially when it comes to their Narnia adventures. Eustace believes it is so much imaginary rubbish until he witnesses a painting of the ocean come alive and flood the room he and his cousins are in.
Soon the room is filled with water and when the three surface they are in Narnia right in the path of the Dawn Treader ship commanded by King Caspian. But why are they back in Narnia?
The reason soon becomes apparent when they encounter a swirling mist that transports an island’s residents to who knows where. The crew of the Dawn Treader sails off to discover what the mist is-what they discover is that an old evil has returned to Narnia and unless they can find seven mystical swords and unit them to bring Aslan forth, Narnia is doomed.
The Voyage Of The Dawn Treader is the most spectacular of all the Narnia movies with breath-taking special effects, memorable characters, plenty of action and suspense and a touch of humor. Especially interesting is the relationship of Eustace with the swordsman mouse Reepicheep.
