Mysteriously transformed into strange beast-like creatures known as Toa Hordika, the Toa realize their mission to rescue the stranded Matoran -- held captive by dark powers -- will be anything but easy. Poisonous foes, extraordinary friends, and epic trials and triumphs are spun into this all-new adventure! Experience BIONICLE(R) 3: WEB OF SHADOWS and discover why future generations hail these Toa as the greatest heroes of all time!

Bionicle 3: Web of Shadows is the most visually and narratively pleasing feature yet in the Bionicle series. With a story that is a little less self-referential than the previous movies, and set against some truly spectacular, computer-generated backdrops, Web of Shadows concerns the return of the heroic Toa to Metru Nui. There, they find an old enemy has overtaken the great city with the help of Visorak--robotic spiders that can quickly encase anything or anybody in near-indestructible webs. The Toa undergo a bizarre metamorphosis while sealed within strange cocoons, and emerge as clunky-looking machines made up of mismatched parts. Though horrified, they find that they also possess some new powers, which prove essential for their subsequent journey (itself full of twists and turns) to restore Metru Nui--and themselves. This delightful Bionicle installment is probably easily accessible for any viewer unfamiliar with the series to date. --Tom Keogh
