Lego's Bionicle line has sprouted this complicated but impressive family movie, Bionicle: Mask of Light, to bolster the toys' mythic appeal. The story focuses on the robotic Matoran tribe from the island of Mata Nui, which is protected by six powerful guardians known as the Toa. Two small Matorans--one a potentially heroic "herald" and the other a historian-witness called "chronicler"--find a sacred mask of light, suggesting the imminent of arrival of a seventh Toa. Identifying that mystery figure proves difficult, however, especially with the evil spirit of shadows, Makuta, attacking Matorans with mechanized-crayfish warriors in a bid to possess the precious mask. This is the kind of out-of-nowhere, dense fantasy that requires one to get up to speed quickly on a lot of exotic detail, terms, history, etc. But Mask of Light is also enjoyable as expressive, CGI animation with thoughtful art design, striking color, and excellent vocal performances. --Tom Keogh

This is awesome!.......2007-03-18

Out of all 3 movies, I think this one is the best. It is about this Matoran named Takua who finds a mask embedded in stone and he and his friend, Jaller, have been told by the Turaga that they must find the seventh toa. When Takua realizes he is the herald, he refuses the responsibility and tells the Turaga that Jaller is the herald. When Jaller persuades Takua to join him, the Turaga assume that Jaller wants Takua to put the story on the Wall of History. They were wrong. When Makuta tells Takua that if he doesn't give the mask to him, Jaller's life would be spared. After that, Takua quit the mission altogether. When the Rahkshi cornered them, the Toa Nuva came to help. When Turahk killed Jaller, Takua put on the mask, becoming Takanuva. Then with the help of the other Toa Nuva, they built the Ussanui. Takanuva used this to break into Mangaia, Makuta's lair. This severely damaged it. Then Makuta challenged Takanuva to a game of Kolhii. When Takanuva won, Makuta was furious. Then Takanuva pulled Makuta's mask off, sending both of them into a pool of energized protodermis. This made them Takutanuva, a form of Takanuva and Makuta. Takutanuva lifted a wall, letting the Toa and Hahli out of Mangaia. He brought Jaller back to life, but this weakened him. Only Takanuva was known to survive. This movie is the best!

1,2,3,4,5,6,7? A 7th Toa? i wonder how Makuta is doing right now?

AWESOME!.......2006-03-09

Being a die-hard bionicle fan, when I found this, I watched it several times. I thought it was excellent. Sure, a few details were off and such, but, overall, it's very good.

The beginning was very light-hearted, poking fun at Vakama, the Toa, and the dangers of kohli. As the movie went on, it became much darker.

I'm not gonna spoil it for those who haven't seen it. But, anyone can enjoy it. I know I did.

Not what I had In Mind..................2005-12-06

Let's get one thing straight. I loved bionicle legos and when i first heard of this movie, i was hyped up to buy it. but when i saw it, i was really disappointed. let's see how this movie is:

VOICES
the voices are really cheesy. They don't fit the bionicles at all. I'd rather have no voices than any!

PLOT
Okay, they totally missed out on the original bionicles. They only focussed on the second bionicle design which is Ugly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THE MUSIC
I have not much to say, but this music was.....................
.......... freaky.

OVERALL
this movie would of gotten a one star if the plot was bad nothing relating to the stories in the magazines or website. However, the plot was okay following a bit at the comics and websites. so this somewhat a "ok" movie. just be warned.
