Narnia Gets It's Shine

After the lukewarm reception to the film adaptation of CS Lewis' Narnia series second, Prince Caspian frankly dull, it seemed the founder of the franchise might just; Disney suddenly withdrew funding. But 20th Century Fox took on the challenge, and now the thought is that Disney may have acted against fast: the third chronicle, The Voyage of the Dawn tread, the series is on track.

There are obvious reasons why it should be. Veteran British director Michael Apted knows rhythm like a beautiful story, and the ability to find light and shade in its dramatic moments calm and not be overwhelmed by special effects. In addition, unlike Andrew Adamson, the former effects supervisor, who directed the first two Narnia movies by Apted, how tease decent subtle performance of his players.

It allows the projector falls this time on the two youngest Pevensie children and more attractive, Edmund and Lucy - by Skandar Keynes and Georgie Henley, who is also the most talented players in the Quartet.

Played and it is certainly nothing wrong with Dawn tread has a story right in his power for the first chronicle, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.

It has a strong wire fishing with a mission to save Narnia, entered into force on board, largely used the name of a beautiful boat, with dragons, sea serpents, evil slave traders, and a mysterious green mist effectively captures the mind and the body of those over whom it hovers.

This is the mission of the Caspian Sea. Now, a king, he needs to find seven lords who lost his father's friends, and recover all of their sword, presented to them by Aslan the lion-god to protect Narnia. Caspian, played again by Ben Barnes, is less central to the action this time - and it can only be a good thing.

Barnes is a successful actor, but he is struggling with a bland role. Fortunately, he was advised to forget the Spanish origin of his character, so no more than "Oh em Preence Caspian" nonsense.

Elsewhere, Simon Pegg replaces Eddie Izzard as the voice of Ripitchip, Caspian valiant warrior mouse, and it comes. audible tones by Liam Neeson agreed with moderation in the voice of Aslan, which does not appear until nearly an hour into the film. And unfortunately, Tilda Swinton is seen briefly as the White Witch - for me, the most indelible character in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.

Yet the presence of the most exciting news is that the perception of 17-year-old British actor Will Poulter, who still remembers his talents in comedy Son of Rambow. He played the Pevensie odious cousin Eustace Scrub and Poulter not remember: Eustace reject his cousins fascination of Narnia, and complain bitterly when he reluctantly becomes the adventure Dawn tread.

His endless complaining, Poulter accepts disgusted sounds a former army officer 50 years ago, and it brilliantly. He steals almost every scene in which it appears, is a stroke of luck that Fox Eustace is the fourth story of the scene in Narnia.

Besides being director of actors, Apted has also directed one of the best Bond films of recent days, the world is not enough, and knows how to stage major pieces together. Two come to mind. Initially, the Pevensie siblings left at home tube, and three of them to see an oil painting of a ship at sea surreal painting water permeates the room last flood, and when the trio of the surface found in brackish waters, located near the Dawn Treader. This long scene gives the film a very successful start.

And finally comes a thoughtful, brainstorming on a beach, when the main characters to decide how to proceed with his life. The dialogue is conducted in the presence of a huge wave coming, endless excitement, but no rupture. The scene looks like a cross between The Ten Commandments and a really great surf movie.

As always, the underlying Christian allegory in Lewis's stories is remarkable, but not excessive. Moral light touch in this case is the need to curb their greed for power, wealth, and in case of Lucy, of beauty.
