The Chronicles of Narnia The Voyage of the Dawn Treader Movie Plot

Return to magic. Return to hope. Return to Narnia.

Lucy and Edmund Pevensie return to Narnia with their cousin Eustace where they meet up with Prince Caspian for a trip across the sea aboard the royal ship The Dawn Treader.

The Chronicles of Narnia The Voyage of the Dawn Treader Movie Review

As with the previous two movies based upon C.S. Lewis books, Voyage of the Dawn Treader continues the story of good verse evil. Not feeling at home with their aunt and uncle, Edmund and Lucy desire to have yet another adventure. Hearing of Peter and Susans adventure in America does not ease their yearnings. As they are not at home and desiring another adventure, Lucy and Edmund must find their way into Narnia.

Once arriving in Narnia, Edmund and Lucy learn of relative peace happening in all the Narnia. If they were not called and Narnia is experiencing peace, why have the two Pevensie children found themselves in Narnia?

While outside of Narnia, Edmund and Lucy longed to be in Narnia because they are not at home. Why are they not at home? Perhaps their world, like Narnia at times, is defined by a conflict between good and evil. As long as a struggle between good and evil exists, one is not at home in that world. This is because one knows that there should be peace and home is where evil is not.

Lucy and Edmund quickly learn that 7 seven former Lords have disappeared. Caspian last knew that they were on the Lone Islands. Having sailed to the Lone Islands Caspian, Lucy, and Edmund learn peace is not present in all of Narnia. Only finding one of the seven former Lords, the three discover that evil is slowly triumphing in Narnia as one person at time vanishes in a strange mist. As it turns out the mist is controlled by the powers of evil present in Narnia and the only way to return peace to the land is defeat of evil powers.

The former Lord believes the rest sailed off in search for the mist. Lucy, Edmund, and Caspian believe it is their duty go off in search of the other six Lords and defeat the evil in the East. As they sent out their longing is for peace to return to Narnia and to be at truly at home. Along the way the three discover temptation by the things their hearts desire. Is being as beautiful as another person, having gold and silver, and obtaining power as satisfying to heart as we believe.

Seeking to bring peace back to Narnia, while combating temptation by the evil forces, Lucy, Edmund and Caspian must identify what they truly desire. Only when giving up the desires they want along the way, will they find the source to defeat evil. While they want to defeat evil and return peace to Narnia, Edmund, Lucy and Caspian discover they cannot achieve victory alone. In giving up what they want in life for the true desire of peace in Narnia, they find Aslan and his power.

Although Edmund and Lucy are high king and queen of Narnia, they serve as king and queen not by any merit of themselves. Only in giving up of themselves are they king and queen. Through this voyage Lucy and Edmund discover what life is and lifes meaning. More importantly, they discover that they can be at home outside of Narnia because Aslan promises to always be with them and He will bring them to Him at the end of time. Thus, for Lucy and Edmund to be king and queen is it to give up the position to another or keep it.

Season of the Witch Movie Review

I walked out of the theater so thrilled to have spent my money on a Nicholas Cage movie. Its not often that happens.

I heard from a unenthusiastic review about the on screen shenanigans with Nick Cage and Ron Perlman were so enjoyable that it made the rest of the movie bearable. Going in with that anticipation, I found myself not only pulled into their characters fun and convincing friendship but also into an intense and yes even edge-of-your-seat suspenseful movie. I forgot about my troubles for the day and enjoyed a good adventure.

It was inspired, yes, by DnD, video games, and a number of other swords and sorcery books and movies that preceded it, but it is its own story. In a market saturated with sequels, prequels, reboots, comicbook diarrhea, etc. its nice to see a story that is its own, however simple.

Yes it plays by the numbers. You know guys will die. Hell, you probably know who and in what order, if youve seen movies of its ilk. You know there is a supernatural bad guy. And you know there will be one liners, oh are there ever one-liners! But the characters are fun to watch, even a little engaging. You may not want to see them die. I didnt. They werent a group of scum with a bullseye for heraldry. The enemy was threatening and tricky, a real danger to our protagonists. And the one liners were, gasp, funny! Yes, even Nicholas Cage is worth the price of admission here. If this was just another paycheck role for him, he looked like he was having a lot of fun with this roll. And I dont know about you, but I like to see my actors have fun in a movie that costs me 9-12 bucks to see..

It looses some points with me for the CGI. obvious CGI is obvious. But honestly the crispy gray CGI contrasting against a darker, colorful, moody lighting STILL didnt detract from the encounters or the climax. If you come to the movies to have CGI convince you that magic and demons are real, you come to the movies for jaded and asinine reasons. If you wanna see pretty visuals with a meandering pointless story, go see Tron.

But if you wanna see a fun yet dark heroic adventure, go see Season of the Witch!

TRON Legacy Movie Review

Kevin Flynn is the CEO of Encom and the worlds best video game developer. One night he simply vanishes without a trace and leaves his company in chaos and his young son. Fast forward 20 years, Sam Flynn is a rebellious 27 year old and a thorn in the side of Richard Mackey, a suit trying to take over his fathers company with the help of a software designer. Though Sam is the heir, he refuses to play an active role in the decision making process. Alan Bradley meets him one night with the news that he has received a page from Kevin Flynns arcade, a number that has been disconnected for 20 years. Thus ensues the inevitable investigation into his fathers whereabouts and Sams transportation into the world his father has created and been trapped in for decades.

Where to begin? Tron Legacy is a visual feast for your eyes and an auditory pleasure thanks to Daft Punk and Joseph Trapanese. The soundtrack feels ethereal almost and fits perfectly with this new world we have been introduced to for the first time.

What the movie makes up for in spectacular imagery, it lacks in storyline. Maybe I should have watched the 1982 version as so many people have pointed out to me but even without it, the plot seems a little disjointed. The underlying connections to the real world are numerous such as The Holocaust, God complexes, evil doppelgangers and more. You are left with more questions than answers as it is never revealed just what it is about this world that would, change everything, in the real world.

Jeff Bridges is great as both the villain and hero and his computer animated self is simply amazing. The acting overall is not anything to write home about but Hedlund as Sam Flynn holds his own against a more charismatic Jeff Bridges. Quorra provides a potential love interest and the key to changing our world and a doe eyed innocent view of life that is endearing.

This is a movie that should be simply taken for what it is, a pandering to the original fan base whilst garnering new ones, one not to be over analyzed but simply to be marveled at with a group of friends. The actions scenes are just jaw dropping with light cycles and deadly Frisbees amongst other things. Disney took a risk to continue a series almost 3 decades later rather than going for the easy option of reimagining it. A wise move
