Fantasy movies are always exciting, mainly because we get to see so very few of them. The Golden Compass looks very promising. The movie is based on Philip Pullman’s book, which is the first one in a lovely trilogy.

It looks like a movie for children at first glance, and so did the book, but I think it’s a bit misleading. The plot isn’t simple and there’s a lot of philosophy going around.

And the plot:
“In a parallel universe, young Lyra Belacqua journeys to the far North to save her best friend and other kidnapped children from terrible experiments by a mysterious organization.” (Source: IMDb)

Anyway, here is the official, full length trailer for Golden Compass.
