Hi all,
​
I have just seen it, it's excellent. The effects are superb & it's very well cast. I was concerned that the ending was going to be naff, but they just ended it before Lyra found her father but after the rescue. If you think about it, it will actually make a great beginning to the second film.

Re: The Movie
Hi crash,
​
The Authority wasn't god. He was the first angel created & passed himself off as god.

Re: The Movie
Crash,
​
He was the God that everybody thought was God
​
Yeah, but he wasn't, he was an imposter. The two angels that helped Lyra pointed out that he was the first angel created, which I took to mean the real god created him. Creation was created by god, not the Authority.
​
I'd prefer it if he was god, it would have been a much better ending, storming heaven & giving the prick a slap. I wondered why Pullman did this, creating a proxy "heavenly" enemy rather than the "real" thing? Pullman doesn't seem like he's scared to piss the religious off, he has spoken out against religion, it would seem a perfect platform to get his message across.
​
Wierd...
