Strengths
Unless the other 2 parts, it doesn't have great story but entertains you the maximum. Screen play this time is fully loaded with humor,stunning visuals, action scenes shot with flair. There are many scenes which stays in your mind even after you are out of screen. The opening one, giant ship, private island, sea storm, magic book,invisible one legged human land, climax fight.......it is magnificent journey. 3D visuals and CG work of some are never seen..Photography is the highlight of the movie with some zoom shot, heliview scenes.
Editing is great at the same music travels along with the movie. Awesome special and audio effects. . Lucy and Edmond are grown,they look cute too. even the prince Caspian, cousin performed and played their part well. Michael apt, the director as to be credited for his hard work in pinning up the visually splendid screenplay . co ordination with CG team had to be applauded.. GO on for other sequel .....waiting for more tasty plums in the cake...
weakness
When compared to prequel, the story has lost its essence. For me it has been shifted more of magical journey than adventurous , which is Narnia hot cake...
Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader(3D) is visually magnificent could have been masterpiece if the story has taken the front seat. Children will enjoy the movie,even the grown ups....
Verdict:6/10( 1 for performances, 2 for 3D and CG works,1 for photography, 1 for stunning visuals& 1 for direction)
Movie canvas punch: Narnia 3 voyage will thrill you!!!!
