based on the 1995 novel Northern Lights by Philip Pullman, the first installment in Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy, which was published as The Golden Compass in the United States. It stars Dakota Blue Richards as Lyra Belacqua, Nicole Kidman as Marisa Coulter, and Daniel Craig as Lord Asriel, alongside Sam Elliott, Ian McKellen, and Eva Green. In the film, Lyra joins a race of water-workers and seafarers on a trip to the far North in search of children kidnapped by the Gobblers, a group supported by the world's rulers, the Magisterium

...The film received mixed reviews from critics, with praise for the casting and visual effects, but criticism for its pacing, characterization, and screenplay...

I assume they disliked the source material. Which is a shame because they are amazing books.

Am Christian. THe hilarious thing is my aunt (DEEPLY christian woman) bought the series for me... Probably because it looked like a generic fantasy series going off of the covers.

Haha that's amazing. I hope you enjoyed them, the entire concept of never questioning authority (in all meanings) seems to have pitfalls that have trapped too many of today's society into polarising views with no concept of nuance. If more people had read these books the world would probably be a better place.

Now let's just hope Pullman can get the last book out this decade! He better not pull a Robert Jourdan on us!

jordan, at the very least, both had a terminal illness as a justification and a backup plan in an author to send his literal dumptruck load of notes to.
