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.
What critics thought
Critics landed squarely in mixed territory on the third Narnia installment, with the strongest praise directed at Will Poulter's scene-stealing debut as Eustace and the lead child performances, while the episodic, quest-driven structure left many feeling the film coasted rather than compelled. The film played better with family audiences than with critics, and Christian reviewers found it notably more faithful to Lewis's spiritual themes than its predecessors.
“This is a rip-snorting adventure fantasy for families, especially the younger members who are not insistent on continuity.”
Roger Ebert·Chicago Sun-Times
“The best thing about the film is neither the top-notch CGI nor the shallow moral lessons but the performance of Georgie Henley as Lucy as well as the performance of her and Edmund's insufferable cousin Eustace Scrubb.”
Kerry Lengel·Arizona Republic
“Henley and Keynes are charming as ever, and Poulter's turn as Eustace injects a welcome note of comedic cynicism into the sea of sentimentality.”

“The Voyage of the Dawn Treader is a solid sequel that might even surpass the first entry as the best in the series for some fans. It also bodes well for the future of this once iffy franchise.”
