This is my favorite book of the series, but it wasn't my favorite movie. I thought The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe was better, but that's probably because it had the Disney touch. This movie was a lot more dark than I thought it was going to be. But it was still good. Georgie is adorable as she always is and Skander and Ben were both very strong male leads. But who really surprised me was Will Poulter as Eustace, who I thought was excellent. Lucy (Henley) and Edmund (Keynes) are staying with the aunt and uncle, which means they also have to put up with their annoying cousin, Eustace (Poulter). To make everything worse, Peter (cameo by William Moseley) and Susan (cameo by Anna Popplewell) are off doing glamorous things in the States. But, all of this changes when Lucy, Edmund, and a very unhappy Eustace are transported to the magical land of Narnia through their aunt's painting. There, they board the Dawn Treader, which is captained by Prince Caspian (Barnes). They are searching for the seven lords of Telmar, who his uncle tried to kill before Caspian reclaimed the throne three years before. The lords where the closest and most loyal friends of his father's. They fled to the Lone Island and they were never seen again. While on the way to find them, they encounter dragons, dwarves, merfolk, and a band of lost warriors before reaching the end of the world.
