      Janiel F It deserves much more attention. Yes, the plot & characters are a bit simple, but the animation is very clean & well done(ironic considering the state of the many inhabitants of the planet) and it could've set up a great trilogy. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/17/22 Full Review robert p I love violent animation thus the Movie was pretty good!!! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review lucca b Solid action, endearing characters and decent visuals, but its story is just an excuse to promote and sell Bionicle toys. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member The worst Bionicle movie by far, cool to see the story play out in movie format as always but it really isn't that great. It's like if you took the somewhat one dimensional story of Bionicle 3 and 1 and got rid of any charm that the characters brought. If you are a hardcore fan of the original Bionicle run I'd recommend it, if not. Steer clear of this one. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Michael Dorn's performance as Mata Nui and Cryoshell's music make this one hell of a great movie, continuing the original story of Bionicle shortly before its rushed but ultimately satisfying conclusion. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member I loved this movie, first and foremost as a longtime Bionicle fan and a fun loving kid when I first watched it, but also looking back on it and rewatching it I can truly appreciate the depth of this film. the film's main character, Mata Nui, is basically a deposed god whose throne over his realm was stolen from him by a long present evil (if you paid any attention to the rest of the Bionicle story you would know this evil is his brother, Makuta) and he is hurled out of his universe that he ruled with his spirirt trapped inside the Mask of Life. Upon crashing on the planet Bara Magna, the mask forges a new body for Mata Nui out of material from the surrounding desert, he meets a small intelligent beetle that he lovingly names "Click", and upon coming into contact with the Mask of Life, Click's life force and body are used to forge Mata Nui a shieid to protect himself, which Click can transform into and back at will. Mata Nui meets the Agori villagers and their larger warrior counterparts the Glatorian, and befreinds some of them , mainly Gresh, Ackar, and Kiina. It is discovered that 2 of the planet's nomadic tribes who were previously at odds with not only the Agori and Glatorian, but also with each other, have joined forces to conquer the planet, so Mata Nui is forced to set aside his quest to return to his own world and rescue his people to help those in need, and he learns a few life lessons along the road, mainly the value of fighting for oneself rather than letting others od it for you, and he in turn teaches the Glatorian the importance of Unity and owkring together. A wonderful masterpiece of a film on its own, and a great addition to the Bionicele story. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
