The Voyage Of The Dawn Treaders - Review

The third movie of your favorite Narnia series has released in the Indian theaters with lots of promises. The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treaders is based on the fantasy novel of CS Lewis.

In the third film, the youngest of the kids Edmund and Lucy go back to Narnia accompanied by their intolerable cousin Eustace. Thus, Skander Keynes and Georgie Henley start their adventure in high seas and Dark Island.

The third movie gives you all the fun that you expect from a Narnia movie. The mean Eustace will be seen finding his noble side and thus giving you another moral lesson. The special effects used in the movie are watch worthy and will you take you to a fairy tale world.

It keeps your interest level intact with appealing 3D effects and dragon fires. However, one will be surprised to see the reluctant Eustace turning out to be a true hero at the end. He fights fearlessly the wicked creatures and sea serpents.

However, Aslan and the mean White Witch were not seen much in action and it might be due to their growing age. This will no way affect the charm of watching the movie at the weekend.

Genre: Fantasy
Cast: Ben Barnes, Skandar Keynes, Georgie Henley

Gulliver’s Travels - Movie Review

This is perhaps the worst silver screen edition of the 18th century novel written by Jonathan Swift. Jack Black, who plays Lemuel Gulliver in the Friday release, disappoints throughout. The actor may have given Hollywood some wonderful performances in films like Kung Fu Panda and King Kong, but Jack Black tends to forget that not all stories want him to play a geek! For that matter, the humor
in the 2010 version of Gulliver’s Travels also fails to impress.

Lemuel Gulliver here is a mailroom worker who is very much in love with Darcy Silverman, a newspaper travel editor. To express his love, Gulliver sets upon a travel from where he will return to pen his own experiences. Lemuel Gulliver sets upon a journey to the Bermuda Triangle and accidentally reaches the land of Lilliputs when his ship wrecks. It is here that Lemuel Gulliver starts enjoying the taste of being a true hero when the Lilliputs shower the towering man with love and respect.


The Lilliput kingdom considers Gulliver, the savior of their little world. Will he emerge as the real hero that he brags to be or will Lemuel Gulliver fall short of the Lilliputs’ expectations? Gulliver’s Travels shows some high class drama, comedy, fantasy and even love, but still fails to draw the attention of the audience. Running for a duration of only 95 minutes, Gulliver’s Travels may force you to leave the theater halfway into the film!

Director: Rob Letterman
