Movie Review: The Golden Compass

I won double passes to this - I actually entered a friend into a radio station competition as well as myself and we both won! We have been trying for several weeks to see this film, but it has been hard to find a time suitable for all 4 of us. I ended up giving a pass to someone from work and went and saw this with another friend from work.

There's a scene where the polar bears are fighting which is tad disturbing in a children's film though. The special effects and the scenes and scenery is just amazing.

I can't wait for the next installment.

Plot: An exciting fantasy adventure, set in a parallel world where people’s souls manifest themselves as small animals, talking bears fight wars, and children are mysteriously disappearing. At the centre of the story is a 12-year-old girl, Lyra, who sets out to find and rescue her best friend, Roger, and ends up on an extraordinary quest to save not only her own world, but ours as well.
