The Voyage of the Dawn Treader

After a looong, loooong, really loooong time, we were finally catching a movie. The Arien had been out playing cricket and booked tickets for the 7:55 pm show of "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader". I wanted to tell him that he may not like it as much as the first movie but dropped the idea. We completed most of the Christmas shopping for my MIL - who did not join us. Lunch was ob. late but thankfully we had dinner @ MTR on time :) You can read 'bout the dinner @ MTR here.

The movie was slow and a lil boring initially. The Arien was bored and after sneezing like a dozen times informed me in a loud stage whisper that the movie was a lil boring. I had read the series in the chronological order many many months ago and remembered the story in a vague manner which was not very helpful when the Arien asked me queries. I was so happy to be inside a theatre and compared to the various flop movies - this was a lot better and I enjoyed myself to the hilt.

The story is 'bout Edmund and Lucy who are presently staying with their cousin, Eustace who is a major pain. Suddenly, they are all pulled into the painting of a ship at sea. For Eustace who disbelieves all talk of Narnia, to be dragged into the Narnian world, rather a ship which has King Caspian, should have been a bitter pill to swallow but instead of learning a lesson, he continues to behave in a priggish manner and irritates everybody. King Caspian is hunting for seven lords who disappeared during his father's time. They have various adventures in their quest and allz well that ends well. Edmund and Lucy learn that they will not visit Narnia again, from Aslan. They are very sad to hear that.
