When a spate of child kidnappings claims her friend Roger, Lyra (Richards) sets off to rescue him. This brings her into a battle between her world’s religious government and her only known relative (Craig), who’s set on (heretically) proving the existence of parallel worlds.
It's alright but I say that as someone who has not read the books. From the very positive word of mouth about them, in regards seeing the film I'm glad I have not because I would probably have thought much less of it. The source material is apparently a complex, rich story which on screen is presented as a magic based Spy Kids knockoff.
