Today I saw The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. This movie was pretty good, not as good as the first two, but still very entertaining and captivating. I was a little lost as to all the details of the plot of the movie, since I didn't read the book, but I understood the basic plot so it was easy to follow. Also, I didn't really understand how it connected with the first two...or if it was supposed to connect. Even with that little bit of confusion I enjoyed the action scenes and special effects, and the childish feeling that it conveys--like that nostalgic feeling for the carefree life that children have, often felt when you watch Peter Pan. Interestingly, both of those movies illustrate an imaginary world that only children can enter because they still have their imaginations, and thus the capability to see that world. It's fun to feel like that kind of place could exist, or at least remember the feeling of being a child and being able to believe in those things and their existence.
I enjoyed the characters in this movie, for they were the same characters that were in the first two movies, and now there is a new character to continue the story for the next movie. I'm not sure how well that will work out, since the four main characters that have been in the first two movies will not be in the next movie. I think people have grown fond of these characters, and may not be interested in seeing the 4th movie with all new characters. Or maybe it will be just as great as these three movies. All in all, I definitely recommend this movie, even if you have not read the books or seen the other two movies in this series. It is a great action movie with good acting and it is fun to watch.
