The Pevensie siblings return to Narnia, where they are enlisted to once again help ward off an evil king and restore the rightful heir to the land's throne, Prince Caspian. 
"The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader" is the third installment in the C.S. Lewis "Narnia" series, and I'd rank it above the second but below the first. "Narnia" completists may not care. "Narnia" naysayers won't go anyway.The four Pevensie children return to Narnia, only to discover that hundreds of years have passed since they ruled there, and the evil King Miraz has taken charge. With the help of a heroic mouse called Reepicheep, and the exiled heir to the throne, Prince Caspian, they set out to overthrow the King, once again with Aslan's help
In this sequel, the Pevensie children (Georgie Henley and Skandar Keynes), along with their snooty cousin Eustace (Will Poulter) meet up with Prince Caspian (Ben Barnes) in search of the seven swords that will release into the Narnian ozone the innocent spirits captured within the Lost Islands.
The 3-D effects are standard, the children and the prince are a bit bland, and Michael Apted's direction veers into listlessness, but there is, at times, a pleasing elegance to the production, too. It doesn't assault you. Small favors are better than none. Grade: B- (Rated PG for some frightening images and sequences of fantasy action.)
