This time around – Edmund and Lucy Pevensie, along with their pesky cousin Eustace Scrubb – find themselves swallowed into a painting and on to a fantastic Narnian ship headed for the very edges of the world. Joining forces once again with their royal friend Prince Caspian and the warrior mouse Reepicheep, they are whisked away on a mysterious mission to the Lone Islands, and beyond. On this bewitching voyage that will test their hearts and spirits, the trio will face magical Dufflepuds, sinister slave traders, roaring dragons and enchanted merfolk. Only an entirely uncharted journey to Aslan's Country – a voyage of destiny and transformation for each of those aboard the Dawn Treader – can save Narnia, and all the astonishing creatures in it, from an unfathomable fate.It was pretty much obvious to me that once Disney decided to throw in the towel on this franchise that this movie would be more or less mailing it in. Disney doesn't pass on easy money. That being said, this movie was exactly what I expected . . . . . . . . a tired attempt at continuing a franchise that should really just be left alone. The kids have gotten too old so the cuteness factor isn't there anymore. I was never invested enough in the kids to care about them dealing with their insecurties and what not. The two older kids aren't even really in it. They've been replaced by a cousin who is so annoying you want to throw things at the screen. The part that makes it the worst though is that there really is no hook and you simply don't care what is going on. It's watchable because of the visuals and what not but barely.
I wouldn't really recommend anyone checking this out. I loved the first one and was one of the people that actually really liked the second one. However, this one ends up being just kind of there and not worth the time or money.
