Story:

The two youngest Pevensie children, Lucy and Edmund, are staying with their odious cousin Eustace Scrubb during the final days of the second World War. With their older brother Peter is studying for his university entrance exams and their older sister Susan is traveling through America with their parents, Edmund and Lucy feel they are being left out. But one day, after Edmund attempted to join the military, he, Lucy, and Eustace are drawn into the Narnian world through a picture of a ship at sea. The three children land in the ocean near the pictured vessel, the titular Dawn Treader, and are taken aboard.

The Dawn Treader is the first ship Narnia has seen in centuries. King Caspian has built it for his voyage to find the seven lords, good men whom his evil uncle Miraz banished when he usurped the throne many years earlier. His Telmarine ancestors had never built ships as they had always feared the sea.Three years have passed since peace has been established in Narnia, and Caspian has undertaken an oath to find the seven lost Lords of Narnia. Lucy and Edmund are delighted to be back in Narnia, but Eustace is less enthusiastic as he is at odds with the talking Mouse Reepicheep, who joined the crew in hopes to see Aslan's Country beyond the seas of the "utter East". Lucy asked if Caspian has found a queen in the three years they have been gone; Caspian smiles sadly and responds, "none like your sister".

They first make landfall in the Lone Islands, nominally Narnian territory but became a heaven for slave trade with Caspian, Lucy, Edmund and Eustace captured as merchandise. While imprisoned, Caspian meets one of the lost lords, Lord Bern, who reveals those not sold are sacrificed to a mysterious green mist he and the others were investigating. Caspian reclaims the Lone Islands and names Bern its duke while given one of the seven swords the lords possess. At the second island they visit, Lucy is abducted by the invisible Duffers who force her to enter their opressor's manor to recite a spell of visibility. Doing so, while ripping a page from the spell book that detailed an enchantment to make her like her sister, Lucy and the others learn the opressor actually cast the spell to protect the Duffers from the evil green mist that comes from Dark Island. To defeat the Dark Island, the crew must locate the other Swords of the Seven Lords and lay them in Aslan's Table on Ramandu's island. But during a storm after leaving the Duffers' island, Lucy nearly becomes victim to the mist's temptation of her lack of self-value as it tortures Caspian and Edmund with their own personal demons.

The group then made a stop at a volcanic island, with Eustace leaving the group to avoid participating in the work and finding a massive treasure that arouses his greed: filling his pockets with gold and jewels and puts on a large golden bracelet from a corpse. Elsewhere, Caspian and the Pevensies find a pool of water which turns everything immersed in it into gold, including Lord Restimar as they obtain his sword while almost tempted by the gold. Soon after as they are about to leave, the group encounters Eustace, now a dragon and the corpse near the treasure is revealed be Lord Octesian. Eventually they reach the Island of the Star, where they find the three remaining lost lords in enchanted sleep. Ramandu's daughter Liliandil tells them that the only way to awaken the three lords is by setting things right and reveals the last lord, Lord Rhoop, is on Dark Island itself.

At Dark Island, the group battle a sea serpent manifestion that it assumed from Edmund's thoughts as the fear crazed Rhoop stabbed Eustace with his sword. Flying out, Eustace is approached by Aslan who turns him back into a boy and sends him to place Rhoop's sword with the others. As Eustace suceeds in getting the seven swords together, Edumnd manages to overcome his own demons as he slays Dark Island's manifestion. Soon after, Caspian heads to the world's end with Reepicheep, Lucy, Edmund, and Eustace, venturing in a small boat through a sea of lilies until they reach a wall of water that extends into the sky. After Caspian decides not to go further out of realizing he needs to look after Narnia, Reepicheep gains Aslan's blessing to see his country, paddling a coracle up the waterfall to be never again seen in Narnia. Aslan then sends the children home, telling them that Edmund and Lucy will not return to Narnia and that they should learn to know him by another name in their own world. However, Eustace, now a much nicer person from his time in Narnia, could return someday.

I didn't read any of the novel from the chronicles, but i definitely love this movie :) This round they only left Edmund and Lucy go into the world of Narnia together with their arrogant cousin Eustace; Peter and Susan are too old to go into the fantasy world anymore. Most probably Eustace will be the new main character in Narnia film if they are planning to shoot more.

I kinda like Eustace this boy, his character is so attractive~ everything seems so funny when he's turn into dragon ~ lol... u guys must watch this film.
