In Pullman's tale, the church, known as the Magisterium, is clearly a version of the Roman Catholic Church, which, instead of being purged of corruption and stripped of worldly power, rules nations, disciplines truth seekers and keeps scientific knowledge under strict control. "The Golden Compass" is based on the first book of Philip Pullman's "His Dark Materials" trilogy, which posits a sort of alternative version of history in which the Protestant Reformation never happened.
WHAT HAPPENED TO GOLDEN COMPASS 2 MOVIE
Some will see the movie as a near miss and others as a close hit, but few will be able to convince themselves that "The Golden Compass" is an achievement on the order of the "Lord of the Rings" films or "The Chronicles of Narnia." Those movies realized the serious undertone of their literary sources. Yet despite all this, an aura of disappointment takes hold midway into "Golden Compass" and becomes undeniable by the finish. The cast is made up of major actors, perfectly suited to their roles, and one flat-out, no-doubt-about-it find in the form of Dakota Blue Richards, who plays Lyra, the young heroine. There's no doubting any technical aspect of the film, and the virtues on display aren't limited to the technical.
Not only can polar bears talk, but they also sound like Ian McKellen, and people wear their souls on the outside of their bodies, in the form of animals - or "daemons" - that follow them everywhere. Likable and eye-catching, "The Golden Compass" presents an impressively realized fantasy world.
