The Golden Compass

It was "Lord of the Rings" meets "Narnia" in an infinite race to save a fantastical parallel universe where each of the characters name have at least 4,514,788,164 syllabus.

I was trying hard to keep awake in the first half hour which was quite dry as "James bond" was trying to convince the college to fund him in his journey to a so called "another world" at the far north. And the word "Dust" became the word of the movie, and kept coming up. Mr bond wanted to investigate what the hell is "Dust".

The magisterium which is the "Zhen Hu" is determined to stop him.

I liked the part where the people's soul in this parallel universe lived outside of the body in the form of an animal. It was called the "daemon".

Lyra wanted to go with Bond on his expedition but was rejected. Then the ever stunning Kidman visited the college, wanted to take Lyra north as her ka kia. Then the college gave the golden compass to lyra, a device which will tells you the truth of a question if the person is trained to use it.

Lyra escpaed halfway during the trip when she discovered that Kidman was the "Tou eh" of some organization that separates childrens and their own daemon.

Then lyra started her journey to save her friends which was kept at some research facility at Bolvangar. Along the way, she met a group of gyptians, witches, some air balloon guy and a talking polar bear.

The so called pai lang, a tribe called Samoyeds captured Lyra and brought her to the research facility. But she somehow managed to destroy the facility and save the children. They were stopped by the military guards which have wolves as their daemons.

But with the gyptians, witches and king polar bear, they were no match. The children returned home while Lyra embarked on another journey to look for Bond. 6/10
