Teach Me: Chronicles of Narnia Voyage of the Dawn Treader Movie Review

I'm not sure I've mentioned it much here, but we are big Narnia fans. I can honestly say that as a child, I never had any favorite books. Now that I'm older, I have fallen for the excitement that is C.S. Lewis's The Chronicles of Narnia. If you've never read any of his work, you are in for a treat. A friend of ours lent us the Focus on the Family Radio Theatre – Audio Drama series and we were hooked. We couldn't wait to get in the car and go somewhere so we could start where we left off. I found us sitting in the grocery parking lot for over thirty minutes just to hear what was going to happen next. We even folded laundry as a family just listening to the series. It was that good.

While on vacation my family and I were able to see Narnia The Exhibition at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville AL. It was in deed a treat for us. Quite pricey at that, but I figured what other time would we get to step into the life of C.S. Lewis (just a bit anyway) and see up close and personal life-like creatures and actual wardrobe pieces from the movies. The boys enjoyed a walk through the "wardrobe" and into Narnia. We even saw the famous piece of art that comes to life in the latest movie produced The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.

We headed out a few weekends ago to catch the Dawn Treader, not in 3D. It gives me a headache. As far as I'm concerned it was perfect just the way it was.

 

Our family would give it 100 stars if we could. The graphics, the acting, the sets, the characters, the voices, were all simply amazing. Of course, what would Narnia be without C.S. Lewis, what an imaginative mind he had.  We think it was just as good if not better than Prince Caspian produced by Disney. I think Walden Media did a fantastic job. We loved it.  I hope the they continue with the rest of the series. I know my family can't wait!

Did you see it? If so, what did you think?

I was not paid for my review. My family and I truly love the Narnia series. We paid full price to the movie and to the exhibition. Ya know, just in case you're wondering.

  1. I second that motion. Perhaps the thought of being in the world of Narnia is just magical in itself. I’m off to go crawl in a closet now and see what happens 🙂
