Mysterious. Atheist. Adventure. (MAA)
Final Verdict: Let me start by saying that this is a biased review. This film glorifies secular characteristics and embodies atheistic themes, and that's right up my alley. Ironically, it was criticized by the secular community for not being anti-religious enough (unlike it's source material), and was chastized by christian groups for being too intolerant. It was doomed to fail from the start. That aside, I absolutely love it. There's some really fun ideas to play with, such as the relationship between the humans and their souls/demons, and some really intriguing mysteries to ponder, such as the mystical "dust" referenced throughout the film. I enjoy the film for it's bold and analogous story, but due to it's controversal content I can't imagine another movie being made. That's really too bad, because there aren't many movies like this one around. Watch it or don't, but I'm gonna go read the books this film is based off of... Woo!
Spoiler(s): The polar bear slugfest is one of the greatest moments in cinema history... hands-fucking-down!
