Looking for a magical tale of intrigue from the great frozen north? This wondrous story of a parallel universe may be just the ticket.
Sam Elliott, Nicole Kidman and Daniel Craig star in this film chronicling the journey of a young girl on a quest to save her world, and the one beyond. Warrior bears, secret dust, a magical compass . . . this movie seems to have all as far as kids are concerned.
For as much controversy as this film generated in the religious community, I expected it to be much more preachy. But honestly? Not my impression at all. I simply saw this as a visually intense, story-rich flick that kids of all ages could get excited about seeing. Is there some obvious allegory and an anti-establishment overtone? Sure. But nothing that in my opinion got in the way of the great entertainment this film offers.
Worth checking out.
