Witches, however, have bird-shape dГ¦mons that are able to travel long distances from their bodies.

The dГ¦mon communicates with the person and must remain in close physical proximity. In this world, every person's inner spirit partially exists outside the body, manifesting itself as an animal companion called a dГ¦mon. In an alternate Earth, a powerful church called the Magisterium strictly controls the populace's beliefs and teachings. The film won for Best Visual Effects at the 80th Academy Awards and for Best Special Visual Effects at the 61st British Academy Film Awards. The Golden Compass has grossed $372 million worldwide but was a box office disappointment in North America which directly contributed to New Line's 2008 restructuring. The film received mixed reviews from critics, with praise for the casting and visual effects, but criticism for its pacing, characterization, and screenplay, drawing unfavorable comparisons to Pullman's novel. The Golden Compass premiered in London on November 27, 2007, and was theatrically released in the United Kingdom by Entertainment Film on December 5 and in the United States by New Line on December 7. With a production budget of US$180 million, it is one of New Line Cinema's most expensive films, and prior to release, the film faced criticism from secularist and religious organisations due to the source material's anti-religious themes, which caused several changes to the film in post-production. Principal photography began that September and lasted for several months, with filming locations including Shepperton Studios and also on location throughout England, Switzerland, and Norway. Richards was cast as Lyra in June 2006, with Kidman and Craig joining soon thereafter. In the film, Lyra joins a tribe of seafarers on a trip to the far North in search of children kidnapped by the Gobblers, a group supported by the universe's rulers, the Magisterium.Дevelopment on the film was first announced in February 2002, but difficulties over the screenplay and the selection of a director (including Weitz departing and returning) caused significant delays. 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. I hope the sequels will not have to be dumbed down even more for the US audience just to get a higher box office.The Golden Compass is a 2007 fantasy adventure film directed by Chris Weitz, from a screenplay by Weitz, and based on the 1995 novel Northern Lights by Philip Pullman, the first installment in Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy.

Once to catch the details I missed the first time and again to analyze the story. GC was two hours long but only seemed like an hour.

I fell asleep during the first LOFR movie and have not watched any of the sequels. Until then I thought that it was just another mind numbing fantasy for children like Lord (Bored) of the Ring. The only reason I went to see it was that the Pope said that I should not. I do not think the Christian Nazis are the problem as they do not go to Hollywood movies anyway. I do not think the Christian Nazis are the I think the reason for low US gross is number one it stars a GIRL (Most male reviewers panned it and female reviewers loved it) and it requires you to think which is something of a lost art here (we keep electing crooks who are stealing us blind).
