My thoughts on
Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader


4 stars.

I read a couple of reviews just,
and I honestly don't see why they diss the Narnia series at all.

True,
their war scenes might not have been as grand as others,
or that they needed a bit of this, and that, and this, and that,
but no movie is perfect since it's written and directed by imperfect human beings.

And if one would just watch the movie without trying to look for faults,
I reckon most would enjoy the series!

But enough about that.
Let's talk about the latest movie.

Honestly,
yeah I can tell that the budget's more limited this time round,
but an overall look at the story line,
would suggest that the scenes were made appropriately.

I wouldn't like it being all grand like the first one,
since the whole setting's at sea.
It would be rather weird if armies started popping out of the ship's belly,
wouldn't it?
Cause it would then seem more like a Doraemon adaptation!

Anyway,
I know most of the fans are disappointed that Peter and Susan don't appear in this sequel.
Yeah, I was too,
but a book's a book!
And no one can officially change the story except for C.S Lewis.
And he's.. Not here.

So instead of sulking in the corner,
why not just try to appreciate Edmund and Lucy instead?

I never liked Lucy.
To me, she's just.. Useless.
Like.. She can't do anything.
She just stands there and does.. Nothing.
Nothing much, at least.

And that was what I thought,
until God showed me what Lucy really meant,
and why she was there,
just oh, a couple of weeks back.

And watching this latest movie now,
I can see it all clearly.

The different values that are being taught,
can be seen throughout the movie.
And it's not just the main three [like Lucy feeling worthless],
there's plenty hidden here and there!

Also,
I don't know if you've noticed,
but Lucy is a key character in the Narnian story.
Finding Narnia,
helping to restore Edmund back to life,
finding Aslan in Prince Caspian,
finally defeating the enemies with Aslan by her side,
and more.

Which brings me to the point of,
hmmm.. Lucy ain't so useless after all, huh?

And out of all the Pevensie children,
Lucy had one thing that the others did not have,
and which is most essential.

She was the closest to Aslan.


So sleep tight, lil Lucy,
you are precious, Miss Pevensie.
No matter how much you're compared to your sister Susan,
just remember that to Aslan,
you're worth just as much as every other Narnian.


[which is alot.]
