When Lyra Belacqua (Dakota Blue Richards) becomes the keeper of the Golden Compass, she discovers that her world – and all those beyond – is threatened by the secret plans of Mrs. Coulter (Nicole Kidman). With the help of Lord Asriel (Daniel Craig) and a group of unlikely allies ready to stand at her side, Lyra embarks on an extraordinary quest that celebrates friendship and courage against all odds. Based on author Philip Pullman's bestselling and award-winning novel, The Golden Compass tells the first story in Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy.

Customer Reviews
A Big Nothing...
I am a devout, strict Roman Catholic, so this movie, and the others to follow in the series...along with the books that accompany it, are garbage to me.
The author has said that the theme is about killing God, so I would not support him even in the slightest way.
Yawn
As a fan of fantasy/action movie I had high hopes for this movie but actually fell asleep watching it. The story was the Achilles Heel of this movie. It was all over the place and just didn't hold together. An allstar cast could not pull this out. I am guessing this is yet another case where the movie does not do the book justice.
The two things that really stood out were some of the atmospheric special effects and the acting of Dakota, who was excellent as the young heroine.
But nothing can save a wandering story with lots of holes that leave way too many questions.
The Golden Compass (Full-Screen) Book 1
All I can say is "WOW"!!!
Anyone who loves good storytelling and max animation should see this movie and guess what?
This is only part one so imagine the other 2 :)
