For the first time ever, the world of BIONICLE(R) comes to life in an epic motion picture event — BIONICLE(R): MASK OF LIGHT! Experience the action-packed adventure that has enthralled millions of fans. Discover the latest chapter in this legendary story in an all-new CGI animated movie. It’s nonstop action as Jaller and his best friend Takua set off on their journey to find the 7th Toa, a mysterious guardian who will help protect their island home. With the guidance of the Mask of Light and the united strengths of the other six Toa, the brave companions must overcome the powerful Makuta and his menacing Rahkshi. They must prevail or the island of Mata Nui will be doomed to an eternity of darkness!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

I really like Bionicle and when I heard they were gonna make a movie I first thoght thats not til a whole year! But now its pretty close of course right now its olny July so its not too close. But the bad thing is after they make the movie, Bionicle (I think) is gonna finally end. (DUN DUN DUN!) But in Oct. there gonna make a game (Unless they cancel it like they did with the other Bionicle game they said they were gonig ta make in Fall 2001!) But nothing last forever. Well right now (For me) it’s olny July 6 and TakaNuva and Makuta are comming real soon!!!!!!!! I wanna get TakaNuva the first day, but I won’t have enofgh money for both.I’ll just get Makuta later. I heard that the new Matoran were coming out but when I look for them on here nothing happens, I guess I don’t know the keyword. Well I don’t think it’s durable at all because it’s a DVD! I’m not sure if it’s educational but I doubt it because it’s Bionicle!…

I like to thank everyone who have been working on this Bionicle movie. Thank you, guys! You’ve done a great job!

but has the waiting been in vain? Certainly not! Well, if you are a Bionicle fan you have da’ bomb of a movie. But if you are not…Best go over to Bionicle.Com and get an idea of the characters, the places, the secrets…because it starts off like Two Towers for those of you who never saw the first, or read the books. There is no recap on the recent events of the “world” the lego group had made for itself in Bionicle.
Obviously without it being released I cannot say much about the music or animation. But by taking the idea presented by previews, screenshots, and the early-released book, I can get a good idea. It added a lot, but basically it just started over from the beginning. So what if the 2001 enemy is returning, not originally taking his dark throne. So what if the heroes have been transformed into something with new powers. It is basically the beginning again, with only a few differences. Two young heroes, a historian called Takua, and an officer called Jaller in a defense force for a mysterious island are on a quest to find the owner of a potent amulet called the Avhokki. Only the owner can wield the ancient powers of light and put an end to the mysterious and tyranical entity known only as Makuta.
The repition and the no-recap are the main, and only flaws. Great animation,(if they use what they always have), good music, and strong storyline make this a 4 Stars.

From everything I’ve heard and seen about this movie. I think it’s going to be worth the money, to say the least.
From what I’ve heard this movie is about the comming of the seventh toa, Taka(probably Nuva), the Toa of Light. There are six new enemies that Makuta has created, the Rashki. Since the the ToaNuva Defeated the BrorokKal, life on the island has been peaceful. Now these six new “Anti-Toa” are racing the ToaNuva to find the Mask of Light and prevent the Toa of Light from coming into existance. (Needless to say, they fail) Beyond that, I don’t know what happens. But one thing that will make this movie worth is is that it’s being done in photo reallistic Computer Animation.
All I’ve got to say is it better not be a “LITTLE-kids” Movie.
And Why the heck is it not being released in Theaters?
