Box office does not equal quality

Since the "Lord of the Rings" series, New Line has not made a lot of money-maker films. This time, it took another classic science fiction novel, "Dark Matter", to create another trilogy box office myth. Who would have thought that the first episode of "The Golden Compass" suffered by Hua Tielu at the box office and made a loss-making business that could not make ends meet. In fact, I personally think that the sci-fi scenes and images of spirit beasts in "Yellow" are still eye-catching. The performance can also pass the test. It may be that the atmosphere is not noisy enough and everyone's aesthetic fatigue of magic films has caused the end of the first episode of "Dark Matter".

I am a fan of the original author Philip Pullman, and I have read the Dark Elements trilogy many times. I saw this film once a few years ago, I saw it on PPTV yesterday, and rewatched it again. Originally, it was to continue filming the second part, but if I don't know it was Mao, there was no news. The scene of this film is exquisite, the cast is also strong, and it basically restores the original work. The only thing that disappoints fans is that Lyra's cunning and liar personality has been downplayed.

Disappointed, disappointed... I was watching the trailer the day before and said that it was the best trailer I have ever watched~ The next day I saw that movie ticket is really worthless~~~! ! I was speechless when I finished reading it~ I don't know what's wrong~ It's so bad~!

[first lines]
Serafina Pekkala: There are many universes and many Earths parallel to each other. Worlds like yours, where people's souls live inside their bodies, and worlds like mine, where they walk beside us, as animal spirits we call daemons.
Stelmaria: Are we going to see the child?
Lord Asriel: I should think so.
Serafina Pekkala: So many worlds. But connecting them all is Dust. Dust was here before the witches of the air, the Gyptians of the water, and the bears of the ice. In my world, scholars invented an alethiometer - a golden compass - and it showed them all that was hidden. But the ruling power, fearing any truth but their own, destroyed these devices and forbade the very mention of Dust. One compass remains, however, and only one who can read it.

Lyra Belacqua: We'll set things right. We will. You, and me, and Iorek, and Serafina Pekkala, and Mr. Scoresby. And my father. We'll set it right, Pan. Just let them try to stop us.
