The 5th VODT trailer Reviewed by Rebekah Walton



There was a fourth trailer but there was only like two new shots and no really new info. I might write a review on that one later though.

Hmm...At least they are keeping with the same logo.
Caspian, Edmund, Lucy, Eustace and Reepcheep arrive on the shore at the end of Narnia. A huge wave of water stands in front of them and they walk towards it. Aslan’s shadow is seen on the beach. Lucy realizes that Aslan has joined them and is walking besides them. She turns…
This is a really cool looking scene. I am disapointed that the shadow of Aslan wasn't a lamb shadow that turned into a Lion shadow like we suggested on Narniaweb.
Lucy: Aslan.
Aslan: You have returned for a reason. You have come far. Now your journey lies beyond.

Still odd lines. They make it sound like they appear here first. Which we know they don't.
Aslan roars and a hole forms in the wall of water.
I like the cool look here. But I was it was a hole in the sky not in the waves.
Shot of the Dawn Treader sailing on the water. Shot of Drinian and the crew at the helm of the Dawn Treader. Edmund and Lucy stand on the deck soaking wet wearing blankets.
Caspian: Behold our castaways, King and Queen of Narnia.Good to hear that as of yet we haven't heard the High King and Queen part. I am still hoping to never hear it.
The crew bows.

Lucy: Reepicheep!
Reepicheep: Your majesties!
Nothing new here, this was in the first trailer.
Dragon Eustace opens an eye and a reflection of Aslan is seen in it. Dragon Eustace appears to be injured as he tries to rise from a sandy shore. Aslan stands not far away.
Hopefully this is the undragoning. These are cool shots. I love this.
Shot of Cambridge. Shot of the Dawn Treader entering a bay. Shot of Dragon Eustace diving towards the water and then flying alongside the ship.Cool looking shots.
Eustace on the deck of the Dawn Treader, very unhappy.

Eustace: Where in the blazes am I?
Tavros the Minotaur: You’re on the Dawn Treader.

Eustace faints and the crew laughs.

Tavros: Was it something I said?
The joke once again. I don't like it and it's kinda cheesy.
THIS CHRISTMAS Well, why won't this Christmas hurry up, so I can watch Dawn Treader. (Yes, I know it comes out on December 10th.)
Edmund, Caspian, and Drinian stand looking out from the side of the ship. Edmund looks through a telescope.This is a cool shot. I just want to be looking at an island or something.
Coriakin: There is the source of your trouble.

Shot of the White Witch in green mist.

ENEMIES WILL UNITE
Okay, this is creepy. They are going to have the WW unite with the green mist? Or is this one of those misleading things? I hope dearly that it is.
Coriakin: It seeks to corrupt all goodness.

Green mist surrounds the Dawn Treader and the form of the White Witch swirls past Edmund.

Coriakin: It can steal the light from this world.

The Dawn Treader sails towards the Island of Green Mist. The Dawn Treader sails through a storm.

AND THE ONLY POWER TO STOP THEM
Let's be all dramatic! Woooo! I hope it doesn't seem this way in the movie.
Edmund holds a sword that suddenly glows blue. Coriakin points at Edmund.

Coriakin: That sword you carry. It must be laid at Aslan’s Table.

Shot of a cart being pulled through the streets of Narrowhaven. Shot of the three Lords at Aslan’s table waking up with all of the seven swords laid in front of them.

Coriakin: Only then can their true power be unleashed.

Coriakin throws a map across a room. Islands are seen growing out of it.

LIES BEYOND NARNIA ITSELF
Unfathomable fate! But hey, we get to see the Lords waking up. So, it looks like we are about to see them go to RD's island twice.
Reepicheep: Aslan’s Country

Shot of Aslan standing on the shore. Shot of a rowboat rowing through a sea of white lilies.

Lucy: Do you really believe there’s such a place?
Reepicheep: We have nothing if not belief.
Like Lucy would think there wasn't a country. What she should really say is, ''But are you sure Aslan's Country is the type you can sail to?'' If they were trying to do that essence of that line here they failed.

FROM C.S. LEWIS’ EPIC MASTERPIECEWe can only hope.
Shot of Ramandu's Daughter walking through an island. She stands before Caspian, Edmund, and Lucy, and turns into a star and flies up into the sky.I like the cool back picture of RD, now we can see the back of her dress.
COMES THE MOTION PICTURE EVENT

Water nymphs leap out of the water in front of the sailing Dawn Treader and dive back in.
I wish they were sea people. Maybe, the reason they can't have sea people is because they are cutting back on the money for the film.
OF THE HOLIDAY SEASON

Lucy stands in Coriakin’s library with snow falling all around her. She smiles.
Different angle then most times we see this scene.
Caspian, Edmund, Lucy, and Reepicheep stand at the edge of the ship looking down into the water. With a cry of excitement Reepicheep leaps into the water and lands next to Eustace.This must be after his undragoning. I like how Reepicheep is really excited.
Ramandu's Daughter walks along smiling.

Ramandu's Daughter: Travelers of Narnia. I am your guide.
Caspian: You are most beautiful.
Ramandu's Daughter: If it is a distraction for you, I can change forms.
Caspian and Edmund: No!
If I can remeber correctly there is a shot we haven't seen before in between them saying these lines of Edmund looking around at the table on Ramandu's Island.
Caspian and Edmund look at each other. Lucy looks at them both and rolls her eyes.Nothing we haven't seen in the last trailer.
Lucy enters into the Magician’s House through invisible doors that close behind her. Coriakin appears in front of his table and turns around.This is a closer view of Lucy going in to the doors scene. I frankly love this cool shot. I wish though they had never shown anyone Corikian become visible. Edmund, Susan, and Peter walk arm in arm through a lovely outdoor party. All smiling. What is this during Lucy's temptation? Or is this Edmund's imagination? What is this? This looks like a scene from a red carpet event.
The Dawn Treader sailing through a gorgeous sunset.

Caspian looking stern.

Caspian: Now is the time to be strong. Never give in.

The sailors in the background cheer.
Why can't they give Caspian the right speech?
Coriakin stands in his garden with the crew of the Dawn Treader behind him. He throws something. Dufflepuds leap about.I love the Dufflepuds.What he throws must be the lint we heard about.
Caspian, Drinian, and Edmund are walking through the streets of Narrowhaven with the people on the sides cheering. Rhince steps out from the crowd to speak to them.Hmm...I hope this after they are slaves.
Dragon Eustace flies very low to the water with the Dawn Treader behind him.

Someone (perhaps Caspian or Reepicheep?): No fear! No retreat!
Reepicheep swings around on a rope aboard the Dawn Treader. Dragon Eustace flies along carrying Reepicheep on his back. Reepicheep fights someone on the streets of Narrowhaven. Caspian fights a slaver in the Bell Tower. More fighting on the streets of Narrowhaven.Not really anything new here but I still love the cool shots.

Shot of the Dawn Treader sailing through a storm. Shot of blue light shooting up from the seven swords and making a beam into the sky. Caspian and the crew shouting during a pitched battle with the sea serpent. Edmund holds the glowing blue sword out towards the serpent. The serpent dives towards him. Aslan roars on the beach.
