Brand-new 'Voyage of the Dawn Treader' trailer

The latest trailer for Michael Apted's upcoming 3D sequel "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader" has arrived, and you can watch it above. "Treader" opens everywhere Dec. 10. 2010.

I admit I am not a big fan of the previous two films, so I'm not entirely stoked about No. 3 either. Some shots in this trailer do look great, but other visuals just look a tad too computer-generated, don't you think?

The cast, by the way, includes Ben Barnes, Skandar Keynes, Georgie Henley and Gary Sweet.

'Voyage of the Dawn Treader' trailer arrives

Let me tell you right off the bat: I am not a "Narnia" fan. I failed to enjoy the first films, and I admit I'm not very enthusiastic when it comes to looking forward to the next one, which opens Dec. 10, 2010.

A trailer for Michael Apted's "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader" is now online, and if you have not seen it yet, go ahead and check it out after the jump. Any good? You be the judge.

Personally, I'm not intrigued by this preview at all, but as you know, I am a tad biased here. The story? Lucy and Edmund, with their dreadful cousin Eustace, get magically pulled into a painting of a ship at sea.
