Additional Information

THE GOLDEN COMPASS is an adaptation of the first book in the beloved but controversial fantasy series by Phillip Pullman. The story opens with Lyra Belacqua (Dakota Blue Richards) an orphan girl who lives in an alternate world that is similar to earth, but where people's souls exist outside of their bodies in animal form. The people are ruled by a shadowy and oppressive council known as the Magisterium, which is doing it's best to keep everyone from getting information about what is called 'Dust.' Lyra's Uncle Asriel (Daniel Craig) has been researching Dust, and he has seen to it that Lyra is given safe shelter at Jordan College. But when the visiting Mrs. Coulter (Nicole Kidman) arrives, she asks Lyra to accompany her on a trip to the North to meet the Panserbjorne, a race of armoured bears. Before Lyra leaves, the Headmaster gives her a golden compass, a device which only she can read, and from which she can intuit the truth. Lyra leaves with Mrs. Coulter, but when she learns that her friends have been kidnapped by 'Gobblers' she heads out to find them, and soon joins forces with the nomadic Gyptians, some witches, and an armoured bear called Iorek Byrnison (voice by Ian McKellen). Lyra finds her friends, and so discovers the evil plans the Magisterium has cooked up for the world's children. By the film's end, she has vowed to track down her Uncle Asriel, and to discover the true power of Dust. Hollywood had a tricky time of taming this tale, as Pullman's books portray religion - the Catholic Church in particular - in a less than flattering light. The film version carefully steers clear of these themes, and instead puts its enormous budget into creating visually stunning effects. While fans of the books may find fault with this streamlined version, children are sure to revel in the many talking animals and whimsical airships.

One of the best dvd sellers I've used. Even caring for the media inside. The seller had securely wrapped the packages, yet Royal Mail still managed to break the boxes, i contacted the seller, who instantly acted to replace the boxes, seller in no way responsible for the breakages. Highly recommend and I'll certainly use again. Great service, great prices and fantastic items. A++++

Anyone missing their Potter fix, or after a little magic in the festive season would do well to give 'The Golden Compass' a go. Despite the naysayers the film is full to the brim with excitement, action and best of all Magic. If you haven't read the book make sure you pay attention in the first 5 minutes as a lot of scene setting is made, with basic explanations of the terms you're going to hear a lot of in the next 1 hour 50 minutes. Dust, a strange substance that seems to surround humans, is feared by the Magisterium, an organisation that is determined to control everything. They will do anything to destroy Dust, and the evil influence they believe it has on humanity.

Anyone missing their Potter fix, or after a little magic in the festive season would do well to give 'The Golden Compass' a go. Despite the naysayers the film is full to the brim with excitement, action and best of all Magic. If you haven't read the book make sure you pay attention in the first 5 minutes as a lot of scene setting is made, with basic explanations of the terms you're going to hear a lot of in the next 1 hour 50 minutes. Dust, a strange substance that seems to surround humans, is feared by the Magisterium, an organisation that is determined to control everything. They will do anything to destroy Dust, and the evil influence they believe it has on humanity. Central to all this is a young 12-year-old girl called Lyra, though she has no idea or awareness of her importance. She's more than happy running around the streets of her alternative world's Oxford, with the Gyptian children and her friend Roger. But there is danger on the streets - 'Gobblers' are rumoured to be taking children, and Lyra swears to roger that she will come after him if he's ever taken. You can guess what happens next! In the ensuing journey, Lyra meets a host of characters, from Texan aeronaut Lee Scoresby (perfectly played by Sam Elliott), the witch Serafina Pekkala, to the giant talking polar bear Iorek Byrnison. With these new found friends she sets out to save Roger and in the process discovers a dark terrifying experiment being carried out in the cold of the Arctic... As can be seen there is a lot to squeeze into this film, and it's in fact suprising how much the makers have managed to get on the screen from the book. But it is at a price. The pace at times is so fast it will be bewildering to anyone not already familiar with Lyra and her world. And for those who have read the book you will feel that there is a lot missing from the many scenes that have obviously been cut to make room for everything else. Here's hoping a director's cut will make it to DVD! The casting is near perfect and despite a slight high school play feeling at times, Dakota Blue Richards makes for a very convincing Lyra (and is in fact far less arrogant than she seems in the books at times). The disturbing Mrs Coulter is perfectly embodied, with Nicole Kidman on top form, and Daniel Craig is suitably gruff as Lord Asriel. But the real winners here are the Deamons, physical representations of the soul that take the shape of animals. Though at times they (and particularly the bears) look a little too CGI'd for the most part the characters seem to have literally stepped off the page and onto the screen. 'The Golden Compass' isn't the best film ever made nor the best adaptation of a book to film - but it's still a rip-roaring journey through a fantastical world you just wish you could go to. And if they ever make the following two books into sequels you might just get that chance...

Having converted most of my old video collection to DVD I was thrilled to find this film gem in digital format. If you watch this in widescreen format, it really does the battle scene great justice; coupled with surround sound, you'll be gripped by the amazing cinematography. I would recommend the director's cut that includes scenes about the relationship between the lead character and his estranged wife and helps you to understand the motivation behind his decision. The run time is 183 minutes for the directors cut and 120 minutes for the cinema version. I was, however, disappointed by the lack of extras, which any fan of this classic would expect to be included. There's only a 20-minute interview with the director and other shot "making-of" vignettes.Having converted most of my old video collection to DVD I was thrilled to find this film gem in digital format.
