Editor's Note Upon returning to Narnia to join Prince Caspian for a voyage on the majestic royal vessel known as The Dawn Treader, Lucy, Edmund, and their cousin Eustace encounter merfolk, dragons, dwarves, and a wandering band of lost warriors. As the edge of the world draws near, their remarkable adventure at sea sails toward an exciting, yet uncertain, conclusion.

Chicago Tribune 8 of 10
Apted's brisk, pace-y way with a story rarely takes time for contemplation, but the episodic nature of Lewis' narrative transfers easily and well to the screen. I found the depth of field in the 3D version of "The Dawn Treader" to be quite impressive, especially on the waves (though more sensitive stomachs may object). Henley and Keynes remain more easygoing than dynamic; then again, there's enough showbiz gushing from Poulter's Eustace for several "Narnia" installments. The savvy but relentless young performer appears to have studied at the Jack "Artful Dodger" Wild School of Aggressive Hamming. Just when you've had it with him, though, Lewis and his adapters allow the foil to learn a lesson or two and grow into his better, more mature self. This is a development both the faith group and the heathens can appreciate, and "The Dawn Treader" doesn't so much reinvent the "Narnia" franchise as do what's needed, and expected, with a little more zip than the previous voyages. - Michael Phillips
