I wouldn’t class this as a good or bad film, it’s in a weird sorta in-between to me.‘The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader’ is, comparatively, bad. It loses the vibe and all the intrigue that the first film has, as it continues the downward trajectory set by the other sequel. However, it’s still just about got a decent adventure feel to it.
Only two of the youngsters reprise their roles ‘properly’, those being Georgie Henley (Lucy) and Skandar Keynes (Edmund). I’d always prefer a cast to remain the same, but if I’m honest this doesn’t miss William Moseley (Peter) and Anna Popplewell (Susan) all that much. That argument is helped by the arrival of a young Will Poulter as Eustace. He’s great.
Plot-wise is where it gets meh. I didn’t care for it, even if I did like its swashbuckling nature. I can see many finding enjoyment with it, but for me it doesn’t quite come out positively unfortunately – it’s sluggish. The ship set also feels rather cheap.
Not at all a bad film; one that was interestingly made without the involvement of Disney, Walden Media joined up with Fox instead. I just couldn’t find enough entertainment in it.
Growing up in the Canada in the 70’s and 80’s, I fondly recall vastly enjoying an animated version of Lewis’ ‘The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe’ that was presented by Kraft on CTV. Now as a father of a son, I want to see with him the contemporary versions of the books I adored in my youth, though at present I greatly prefer the craftsmanship of cinema pre-1970.It never bothers me in the slightest, to the ire of my more obsessive-compulsive cinephilic friends, seeing films of series with complete disregard to their order (one of my friends nearly had a heart attack, when he discovered I had watched ‘Spider-Man 3’ without having previously watched films 1 and 2–don’t even get me started about the ‘Harry Potter’ series…), so, especially curious about how one of my favourite contemporary directors, Michael Apted, would do in the realm of big-budget, CGI-intensive fantasy filmmaking (I expected a fish-out-of-water, like Lord Richard Attenborough helming ‘A Chorus Line’), I gave this a shot.
I enjoyed this more than ‘Harry Potter’ films I have seen, though it does stretch things from the literary works, but unfortunately, that seems to be the way things are, since film became less about artistry and more about business (just see at Toys R Us how many possible toys you can purchase, and similar commercial off-shoots, and I don’t even consider this series a major player in this sort of area, because of its Christian undertones, which really doesn’t mesh perfectly with selling tons of toys, though of course the realms aren’t mutually exclusive, not by any stretch of the imagination). I think that Apted did a decent job, especially considering that yes, he is a fine director, but this isn’t really his cup of tea. I distinctly feel that if these films are your comfort food, you won’t be disappointed. I look forward to checking out the series’ two preceding entries, and, though they left an opportunity for more films, which I believe wouldn’t be from Lewis’ works at all, it was a nice summation at its conclusion.
Finally, it was great to see (or at the very least, hear) Tilda Swinton, Liam Neeson and Simon Pegg, they seem to be thrown in everything these days. I heartily salute their agents–they must have the very best in the business.
Splendid adaption if you get over some bad dialogue
I have watched this film in 3d at a preview screening in London.First of all, I do not recommend anyone watching this in 3d. It is too dark and the action is just a motion blur. It’s dreadful.
As for the film, there is much to enjoy with excellent visual effects, action set pieces (though ruined for me by the 3D) and a couple of stand out characters. But unfortunately there is also much to cringe at in some bouts of terrible dialogue.
The characters of Reepicheep (the kick-ass warrior mouse) and Eustace, (the obnoxious brat cousin) were the most fun with the actor playing Eustace demonstrating excellent comic timing. The relationship between them was funny and touching. And they even brought much needed zest to the action.
But alarmingly, Edmund and Lucy seem to have deteriorated as actors. Some of their emotions are too forced which is a pity. Not sure why, as I would expect them to improve with each film as did the young cast of the Harry Potter movies.
Overall, the story has surprisingly been well adapted considering not a great deal actually happens in the book. But the pacing is good, even though a little episodic. There are much more Christian analogies once again which would please many and irritate others. But I rather like all of the analogies.
I do feel however, that amongst adults, mostly those who enjoyed the Narnia books will enjoy this more than non readers of the books because the story is too bizarre even for a fantasy! But I think most children will enjoy this immensely, regardless if they read the books or not.
With better written dialogue and better handling of the child performances (namely Lucy and Edmund), this could have been a much better film but as its stands its an enjoyable enough entry in this series.
Oh and I will say it again, do not watch this in 3d.
Narnia meets Pirates of the Caribbean
There were reasons to be both excited and nervous about this third instalment of the “Narnia” series, but luckily Michael Apted has made a fun, swashbucking family film.Edmund (Skandar Keynes) and Lucy (Georgie Henley) are stuck in Cambridge, England, living with their bratty and selfish cousin Eustace Scrubb (Will Poulter). Edmund and Lucy long to return to Narnia; Peter has been rejected by the army for his age and Lucy, like many teenage girls, starts to have doubts about her looks. Through a magic painting the three youngsters are teleported to the oceans of Narnia and found by King Caspian X (Ben Barnes), leading a voyage to the Lone Islands. After freeing the people from a slave trader, Caspian, Lucy, Edmund and co. have to go eastward to find the seven lost lords and stop a mysterious green mist.
Everything you would want or expect from a fantasy is here: sword fights, dragons, magic, legends, strange creatures, wizards and a quest into an unknown territory. The adventure was light-hearted and there is a great amount of humour. Poulter was excellent as the butt of the jokes as a spoiled child who is overwhelmed by his surroundings. He had a particularly good acting relationship with Keynes and Simon Pegg, the voice of Reepicheep. Pegg was able to inject some really comic energy as Eddie Izzard did with the role.
The action was well handled and the special effects were decent. Because of the smaller forces involved and the sea-faring adventure there are no massive battles between large armies but more smaller, quicker skirmishes. The final battle was very much like the final action scene in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest, a small group of people fighting a sea creature. The costumes were very similar to the “Pirates of the Caribbean” films and the filmmakers seem to be influenced by the “Harry Potter” series and the glowing sword from Lord of the Rings.
Apted paces the film quickly with no moments of boredom to settle in. The voyage to a number of strangle desert-like islands was very similar to classic adventure films like Jason and the Argonauts. The dry islands were very similar to the Greek islands. It has an old-fashioned style and feel, but that is not necessarily bad — in fact it’s pretty good. The cinematography and set designs are bright and colourful and this is a perfect film to take children to.
Whilst Keynes and Henley are a little unsteady at first in the film, they grow into their roles and becoming more assured. Barnes drops the Spanish accent from Prince Caspian and it helps him improve his performance. He was much more comfortable in the role and Caspian has grown up as character. He was more believable as a king then as a young prince.
A problem with “Voyage” is there is a lack of a compelling antagonist. This film is more about the “quest” than The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and Prince Caspian and there is a fresh amount of mystery, but the mystery has a lacklustre conclusion.
