If nothing else, it’s nice for Hollywood to take a chance on a story that doesn’t treat organized Christianity as the realm of benevolent, CGI lions. Instead we get the Magisterium, a sinister organization that seeks to dominate the universe by stamping out individualism. The effects are the real star of the show, presenting a steam-punk world in which every human has an animal “demon” for a companion. Though the pictures are pretty and the plot is at least somewhat thought-provoking, overall this just isn’t all that interesting a movie. Mildly amusing
Media criticism. Pop culture snark. And movie reviews. Lots and lots of movie reviews.
