alexandriamatthews-01960 Too similar in story line to many other films and it lacks in personality and likability. The lead girl was so annoying and such a bad actor you just can't relate to her . On a personal level I didn't enjoy the asthetics , if the idea that the cgi was meant to look cheap then it worked but for me it was getting pretty boring to look at very quickly . Looked and felt like a short budget film found on amazon prime that you would avoid .

haterofcrap This has to be one of the greatest fantasy flicks that I've ever saw. It is so imaginative and funny to watch. Nothing about it is predictable or clichéd, actually, this is one of the most unpredictable and most original movies ever made.Most fantasy movies are filled with clichés and stereotypes (Even the best ones) but this is one is absolutely original and incredibly creative. The visuals are quite impressive...Even when the special effects aren't so great as the great visuals from "Avatar" from James Cameron, it is still quite beautiful and nice to look at. The performances and the music were pretty good, much better than the ones that you see in those kind of films...The script is witty and clever, and unlike most of the films made for kids, this is actually funny and well written, good for the whole family.If you are looking for a good fantasy film, without clichés, then "MirrorMask" is your film.

Paul Celano (chelano) This could of been an amazing movie, but one thing was missing. The story was all in pieces. By the end you do get the whole point of the story. But up to that point it seems like so much is left out. The story rushes in parts way too much. This is such a shame because the visual and art aspect of it was simply beautiful. The cast was also amazing. Stephanie Leonidas was great and probably my favorite character was played by Jason Barry. He was very entertaining. Back to the visual of it all. Very artistically done. Jim Hensen helped with the film and using his mind with Dave McKean and the writers, they created such a strange yet satisfying world. It was like seeing a interesting child's dream with an overcast of a creepy tone. Because the story was so rushed, I started to get really annoyed watching the film, but luckily all the visuals really kept me interested enough to want to see more. Again, that is too bad. I really wanted this film to be great. I guess the writers had an imagination for the characters, but couldn't get the story down very well on paper.

lowasah Mirrormask is heavier on image than story, but the images are so moving that they overcome the lightness of the plot. Or maybe you could even say that they add enough weight and depth to the simple story that they give the viewer a chance to make a really personal connection to the film.The protagonist flips from grey real London to a metaphor, a flat world where everyone (but her) wears a mask. Creatures of all sorts flit through this world. Cats that eat pages from books, giant stone people that float, etc. These are her drawings - and thus her inner truth - come to life. Living inside one's own creation is a strange thought. She looks through windows back into the real world and sees her older self, teenage angst and roads that lead to nowhere but trouble. I was moved by the images in mirror mask, and the idea that, inside our deepest parts there are forces of good and evil fighting for control, fighting for access to the real world. In one scene, the girl is dressed by serenading robots. "Why do birds / suddenly appear / every time / you are near?" and it is not clear if they are referring to love, obsession, or perhaps even real birds, or bird heads with gorilla bodies. Who knows, in this place? They dress the girl, put on makeup, change her hair to "evil." Even in this transition there is tenderness. Upon defeat of the black forces, the universe collapses into itself. Maybe these childhood fantasies rely on the tension between good and evil. We choose too strongly, blend the colours, and are forced out of this dynamic world into one that is uniformly grey.
