The Golden Compass


This story is based on the book about an alternate universe where humans' souls live outside their body and are called daemons. These daemons take on an animal form and if they are injured the human feels it as well. This film is about a young girl who is the only one who can read a magical golden compass and ventures off on an expedition to find some missing children. Along the way she plans to help her uncle who is trying to find information about a mysterious substance called dust that is supposed to be able to connect the various universes. For me this film was a little confusing and would have to be watched a few times to get all the details straight. It leaves the ending wide open so you know there will be a sequel coming.
