Comment
In a parallel universe Dakota Richards is given a magical device and then goes off an adventure to the frozen north to rescue her friends from Nicole Kidman and a mysterious organisation.This film has an impressive cast list in a mixture of live action and CGI. The action moves with a good pace, but the large variety of characters means they are not well developed and some of the actors are not able to use their full talents. Nicole Kidman is disappointing with a very staid performance in what should have been a creepy role.
