I actually enjoyed this a lot.
The sotry of a young girl Lyra who is given the 'golden compass' which is a kind of instrument for sensing truths. It's full name is an Elithemometer(spelling) and it is quite cool.
the introduction spoken by Nicole Kidman tells us of Lyra's world which is a parallel Earth to our own, which is but one of many such Earths as the opening scene shows a modern Earth street on Our Earth. It's quite a beautiful world with big airships driven by plasma balls and antique carriages that drive themselves. I quite liked all that. I wish we still had big airships.
Lyra embarks on a big adventure with talking ice bears and a cowboy in a flying airship of his own. In lyra's world people's souls don't live in their bodies, but alongside them in the form of animals called daemons. Rather a cool concept I thought. As she is a child however Lyra's daemon hasn't settled on one form to talke. Her father has gone on an expedition to prove the existence of the other worlds, which are all connected through the universe by particles called "dust."
Enter Nicole Kidman as Mrs. Coulter who seems nice at first but is quite evil in her intentions. She wants people to be seperated from their daemons so they won't ever be affected by dust and more docile, and controllable. It's because everyone has a daemon in their world that the effects of dust can be sensed by some, and the authorities of Lyra's world of which Mrs. Coulter is part of want to put a stop to all that, and at the same time extend their power to those other worlds......
it's a great movie I enjoyed it lots
