The Skeleton's Compass

I just ran across this movie and didn't think much of it with it looking like just another mediocre kid's movie. I didn't expect it to be what it was - a little gold nugget!

First, at the time of writing this review, I'm a student at the University of North Georgia *in Dahlonega, GA* so to discover that's where the movie was based and filmed got me really exited. I also love how the production involved the historic Dahlonega Consolidated Gold mine, a major tourist attraction here in town. I encourage any visitors to go!

Overall, I did enjoy this movie. I wouldn't say it was fantastic, but it definitely wasn't boring. It wasn't even overly predictable either. I liked the surprises that came about, and I enjoyed how the movie ended, even if it was kind of quick.

The acting was probably the weakest link of the movie, but it was still better than many of the low-budget movies I've seen.

I'd give this movie an 8/10 rating, and definitely recommend it if you're looking for a sweet family movie to enjoy over dinner or something.
