4/10.

I have watched the I believe 4 main bionicle films including this one before and I remember liking this film but many more hardcore fans of the franchise disliking and after rewatching it my mind has changed about it sense let's face it the film not only feels shorter than its pervious trilogy but every part of it feels weaker by comparison from the setting, the characters, the voices feeling stiff, the visuals, the designs of the bionicles in general and the characters chemistry.

To be the way this feels is that they gave it a very low budget and tried to make everything seem vague in a "mysterious" way but end up feeling shallow due to the lack of dialogue that meant anything let along the dialogue itself. You probably could fit the whome script on maybe 10 pages at maximum with a lot of it feeling like they are baying the viewer sense they might not get things if they don't HEAVILY imply something with the limited dialogue and the characters bonds are like a generic fantasy quest story where people join the heroes party simply because you happen to interact with them along side like I said it being if not feeling short and uneventful or in a different sense to eventful given the time it takes to fix everything on this planet for the most part that had been going on for years.

I like the voice of the main character at times but even that feels gamey more than like a main character in a show though there is some good voice talent here that lacked good audio direction. There's also a lot of filler/dead noise moments where they either just play music with they zoom out or they don't talk but do very generic things not to mention how the fights felt very clunky and unorganized like how the main character attacks during a 1v1 and than goes to a generic fight stance in the complete opposite direction for a few seconds before turning around when the only one he was fighting the guy he basically took down not to mention the fights felt faked or like they were being done by someone who had never seen a fuel before. The big combined army threat runs away after one single blast was aimed at them and both big bosses fall to one guy making the posing threat the show claimed they were seem kinda pathetic.

I get why they had the character look sort of dirty in a way to match the plot reason of the planet bur them not having their vibrant colors like in pervious bionicles made the look pretty boring and forgettable not to mention their personalities being pretty one note.


Best quailty: At one point I really liked this, show this to a kid and they probably would enjoy it.

Worst quailty: The dialogue.



Awards-


Visable Budget: This thing feels very cheaply made evn more so than most direct to video disney squeals and like today it seemed like the people behind it didn't care much about the original property and tried to renew it but had so little to go off of from THEIR knowledge that they phoned it in.



Cardboard Cutouts: I could see the characters dialogue being in a shitty RPG maker generic fantasy game with how read off of script it felt like.



Lackluster Blaster: In better hands this idea could have been done well because like i said I at one point liked it but the execution here screwed it up.



Overall it's not the worst thing to watch but in comparison to the pervious films it's a joke, 4/10 maybe a kid would like it sense it IS pretty cheap at like $12.
