Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaGeorge R.R. Martin cited this movie as one of the reasons he wanted Trò Chơi Vương Quyền (2011) to be turned into a television series rather than a movie.
- GoofsPantalaimon is able to transform into a small moth when he wishes. When he and Lyra are confined in the intercision machine, they are separated by a metal grid through which Pantalaimon in moth form could easily crawl: it is not clear what prevents him from trying this.

I enjoyed the film, yes, but... something was missing and I just can not put my finger on it. The film seems to rush through the story, not flow with the story. The end comes to soon, and yet no conclusions are drawn so that a sequel will obviously follow. However, whether I would bother watching it when it does come, I really am not sure.
A nice little film... but by no means brilliant.
