The Voyage of the Dawn Treader

There it was. The movie listings outside the mall. At the top of one column, NARNIA 3D. This was it, wasn't it? The movie I've been waiting for since early 2008. So, was it good, you ask? Well, right here and now I'll say I liked it. It wasn't as close to the book, certainly, as I would've wanted it. There were quite a few changes.
I was a bit worried about the changes to Caspian, whom I learned would no longer have a Spanish accent, and who apparently would have a beard. I thought, Oh no! they're changing Caspian! But, even though now, looking at the Prince Caspian poster on my wall, Caspian looks older and different in Voyage, but take it from me that Caspian is still really cool in Voyage... just, you know, different.
The story line had been changed from that of the book. Reepicheep was in some ways improved in this movie, and near the end there's a closeup of beautiful Aslan's kind, gentle, kingly face, that I loved.
Edmund and Lucy, well-loved characters, were once more brought to life by Skandar Keynes and Georgie Henley.
So, I encourage any Narnia fans to watch this movie, if not in the theatre, then later. Trust me. It's worth it. For Narnia!
Aslan is once more on the move.

  1. I TOTALLY LOVED it!!!!!!!!!!! And yeah Caspian was different but totally awesome! Maybe not as awesome as Edmund but...well yeah he's almost as awesome! ;) And Lucy is totally awesome too! So yeah anyway since I haven't read the book I didn't mind them changing it, except that I heard all about the changes from the people on either side of me who have read the books...namely Hannah and my dad. But yeah it was a totally great movie! Although I still have to call Prince Caspian my favorite of the movies, but let me watch Voyage a few more times and that might change! :)
    FOR NARNIA!

    ReplyDelete
  13. yeah!! ;) Uhhhhhh how should i put it? i think maybe you're confused, because really, Edmund's kinda up there w/ the words that mean like "moderately cool" but then, Caspian is up there w/ every word that means awesome, plus, any other way to say he ROCKS!!! no i haven't, but it sounds kinda fun! hehe!!!

    ReplyDelete
  14. Ya! ;) Uhhh, no. For ones I'm not confused! Which is saying a lot! Like that Edmund is the one that is up there w/ words like awesome and cool and all that stuff that means that he ROCKS!!!!!!!! And so Caspian is the one that is moderately cool. Perhaps you are confused... hehehe!!!

    ReplyDelete
  15. :) hmmmmm you're mistaken...i don't think i'm confused! :) Cuz Caspian is like, SO AWESOME & Edmund's not as awesome. See, cuz Caspian is: cool, awesome, amazing, and he rocks. :) hehe how long will it go on?? ;)

    ReplyDelete
  16. Um, I'm not mistaken! You might be but I'm not! Well I KNOW I'm not confused!! :) Actually Edmund is SO TOTALLY AWESOME! & Caspian is just... awesome but not as awesome. Well Edmund is all that and incredible, marvelous, stunning, unbelievable (in a good way), wonderful, and well he totally rocks!

    ReplyDelete
  17. i'm not mistaken!!!!! well, Edmund may be all that but in addition to that Caspian is awe-inspiring, unparalleled, and amazing!!!!!! (Daniel helped me with thinking up more words for awesome)

    ReplyDelete
  18. well I'm not mistaken either!!! Oh yeah, Caspian might be all that but Edmund is all that, plus tremendous, astonishing, grand, and impressive!!!!!!!!!! (hey that's cheating!! lol jp! I had help too...) :D

    ReplyDelete
  19. okay so um....neither of us is mistaken i guess!!! but i still say that Caspian is also awe-inspiring, incredible, marvelous, and wonderful!!!!! ;)

    ReplyDelete
  20. yeah I guess neither of us is mistaken. But Edmund is still stunning, wondrous, magnificent, and overwhelmingly grand and all those other things already listed!!! At least in my mind! ;)

    ReplyDelete
  21. yeah......well, to me, Caspian is also terrific, heroic, unbelievable (also in a good way!) and all of the other words we've mentioned!!!! :D

    ReplyDelete
  22. hmm well that's were our opinions differ because I think Edmund is the one that is flabbergasting, incredible, marvelous and all the words mentioned above in our comments!!! :D

    ReplyDelete
  23. Ok!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  24. lol!!!!!!!! how can anyone forget Caspian and Edmund??? Especially Caspian!! GASP!!!!!!! ;) But you ARE right about Lucy of course! She was cool!! :) And i don't get how some people didn't recognize Ben or w/e...i could still tell it was him!!!

    ReplyDelete
  25. LOL!!!!!! :D You're right Lucy is awesome, but forget Edmund and Caspian??? NEVER!!! I mean yeah Lucy is awesome but Edmund, well I think I've already said that he is like TOTALLY AWESOME! And Katy I could recognize Ben too!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  26. lol!!!! yeah exactly Lucy is cool! but we can NEVER EVER forget Caspian and Edmund!!!! No way!!!
    Yeah & i've already said Caspian is TOTALLY AWESOMELY COOL! :)
    yay! yeah i just don't get how you could not see that it's Ben! OK i'm saying right now: YES THAT WAS BEN!!! It wasn't somebody different!!

    ReplyDelete
  27. LOL yeah i thot it was obvious that it was still Ben.... but i still say to forget Caspian and Edmund! YES they were BOTH awesome, but (1) we can't agree on who's better and (2) lucy seemed to have more sense that either of them lol!! :D just because they were always getting into fights and arguing and stuff and ....................yeah LOL i guess my point is that Lucy is neutral ground :)

    ReplyDelete
  28. AAAHHH we can't forget Caspian and Edmund!!!! Yeah we should probably just agree to disagree about C and E but it's fun to "argue" about it! ;) LOL yeah Lucy never did get into stupid arguments. Yeah she's neutral ground but i still say Caspian is really cool!!!! ;) Anyway Rene who did you think was cooler of Caspian and Edmund? ;) Or maybe you don't want to get involved in this!!! ;)

    ReplyDelete
  29. I actually agree with Katy: we can NOT forget Edmund and Caspian!!!!!! lol I also agree on it being fun to "argue" about which is cooler but we should probably just agree to disagree... ;) LOL! You're right it was pretty cool how Lucy kept breaking up the arguments. And yeah Lucy is neutral ground but I still think Edmund is super cool!!!!!! :) LOL!!!! I think she doesn't want to get involved in this, why do you think she started talking about Lucy? ;D But I am kinda wondering who she thinks is cooler... :)

    ReplyDelete
  30. Yeah we understand where you're coming from Rene but we still think C and E are cool!!! But yeah should we just agree 2 disagree, Preciosa? Probably would be a good idea. ;) I'll just leave it at this: Caspian and Edmund are both cool!!! :)

    ReplyDelete
  31. Yep, what Katy said! :) But yeah @Katy: Probably would be a good idea, so...sure, we can disagree. And I'll leave it at this: Edmund and Caspian are both awesome!!!! :)
