Just back from seeing this. Thought it was ok, but was a little disappointed to be honest. I thought it was just a bit too childish, kinda like Narnia turned out to be. I love the concepts, the technology that had evolved along a different tech base than our own. That was very well executed. I also enjoyed the idea of the soul living in a companion creature. Having not read the books, I enjoyed the ideas, but thought the movie lacked in execution. 6/10 from me.
