Return to the magic and wonder of Narnia in this third movie based on C.S. Lewis’s much-loved books.
The two youngest Pevensie children, Lucy and Edmund, are pulled back to the fantastical world along with their obnoxious little cousin Eustace and embark on a journey across the sea with King Caspian on board royal ship The Dawn Treader.
Caspian is trying to find the seven lost lords of Narnia, good men his evil uncle Miraz banished when he usurped the throne.
Their quest takes them to a series of mysterious lands, where they encounter magical creatures and sinister enemies.
The fantasy creatures — including dwarves, merfolk and a stunning dragon — will captivate youngsters but the runtime, like that of its predecessors, is overlong.
The child actors have improved again, notably the charming Georgie Henley (Lucy), while Liam Neeson and Tilda Swinton return as Aslan and the White Witch.
