Reviews of latest “Narnia” film
The latest installment in the “Chronicles of Narnia” movie franchise was a hit at the box office.
The “Voyage of the Dawn Treader” was number one at the box office this past weekend, its debut weekend.
For those interested in knowing what folks are thinking about the film, I’ve compiled some of the reviews I found on the Web. The background on the faith-themed movie is that it is based on one of the books written by Christian apologist C.S. Lewis. It is the third of Lewis’ beloved books featuring the magical world of Narnia.
Associated Baptist Press: “Latest Narnia Film Worthwhile, If Not Masterful”
ChristianCinema.com: “The Voyage of the Dawn Treader is almost too safe.”
7Mpictures.com, Kevin Carr: ”Movie Review: Voyage of the Dawn Treader.”
Jam! Showbiz: “Third ‘Narnia’ mostly for kids.”

The “Narnia” films are based on the beloved children’s fiction book series by author and Christian apologist C.S. Lewis. Incidentally, there’s still a lot of discussion on the Internet about the merits of Walden Media making all seven of the books in the series into movies. Some folks argue that all of them may not translate well on the big screen while others are saying it will be a dream come true if all the books are made into film so they can have a complete movie set.
Also, here’s something else. The Internet Movie Database has a special link devoted to “Voyage.” Get connected to it here: “Voyage of the Dawn Treader.”
