The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
There are sword fights aplenty (as bloodless as ever), but instead of a real story, we are left clinging to individual moments.

The Up Series
Give me the boy at age seven, and I'll give you the man. The Jesuits may have had something with that saying, especially after watching Michael Apted's masterwork 49 years into the making.

49 Up (2007)
Through the gentle observation and simple exploration of life’s quotidian nature, the Up Series achieves a dramatic relevancy that simple fiction or melodrama could never equal.

The movie's thematic insistence on seeing takes shape through slavery, a horrible moral blight even if it's off-screen in the colonies and not in London with our heroes.
