threemonkeysFor some reason, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader was always my favourite Narnia story. Not entirely sure why that is, but it is probably no coincidence that The Odyssey was my favourite Greek legend story. So I thought I'd venture forth and see the new movie. After all it was raining today - what else was I going to do.
I was confident that this was one book that would translate well to the screen with very little modification. I went in knowing that I would have to consciously put aside all the religious aspects that have been so much of the discussion surrounding this film. In the end, apart from one early scene, this was not a problem. What was a problem was the complete scrambling of the plot elements from the book. It was like they took all the blot bits and put them in a blender. I suppose they thought they were making a more exciting story. What they did was remove any chance I had of enjoying it. Harrumph.
