Multiplatform Movie Releases

Over the last several years my home theater has become quite enjoyable. I have 42" HD Plasma Screen, Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound and more recently an HD-DVD player on my Xbox 360. This got me thinking of how much I enjoy watching movies at home more than at the theater.

This really frustrates me because I am very impatient and end up going to the theater where I pay a ridiculous amount for one viewing, food that is twice the cost then in the stores and no guarantee of a good seat. If you look at how people consume media now a days, there is a monopoly on new releases.

My "Golden Compass" Movie Review

After all the controversy I decided to read the book before the release of the movie. I'm glad I did. Though it seriously differs from my belief system it was a solid book that created a new world that didn't really remind me of anything else I had ever read.

The movie falls a bit short from the books. If you liked the books you may feel disappointed with the details that were left out and if you're new to the series than you'll probably be confused.

This movie is a classic example of how not to translate an epic fantasy novel. The pacing was off, story progressed for reasons that weren't immediately clear. I found myself constantly meeting characters that I didn't have time to care about. This is something that the Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings movies got right.

That being said, the art direction is beautiful and dead on. The scenes are rich and the CG animation is seem less. Fans of effects should see this for the art alone.

Overall, this is a good movie that deserves for the rest of the trilogy to be made. As for the content, don't worry about the religious undertones. They are obvious in the book and I welcome the apposing view to my beliefs in that I think it will spark conversations. But in the movie they chickened out and went a very safe generic route that shouldn't ruffle any feathers.
