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 loved the books to death and I also very much enjoyed the movie. It’s a shame we didn’t get to see the sequels. However, it had two things going against it.

  1. Came out when a great fatigue for epic LOTR clone movies from YA novels was starting to take hold. (RIP The Silver Chair).
  2. The Catholic church. ‘Nuf said.

The Silver Chair

There was a pretty good movie series made previously that covered (I think) the first four books. I haven't seen seen any of them for probably 30 years but I enjoyed them then!
