Summary: MirrorMask is the story of Helena, a fifteen-year-old girl working for her family circus, who wishes -- quite ironically -- that she could run away from the circus and join real life. (The Jim Henson Company)
Neil Gailman, Dave Mckean, and the Jim Henson company combining lead to pure awesomeness. The good acting on behalf of...everyone just ensures that it's great.
A very visually creative fairy tale. Suffers from some cheesiness and the feeling of low-budgetry, but is otherwise a moderately recommendable, if very strange, film.
Very pretty, everything else has been practically done to death. The epitome of style over substance. I would imagine some of my least interesting art school friends would masturbate to this movie.
Extremely uneven; CGI ranges from atmospheric to terrible, the creature and location designs are either inspired or boring. The narrative lets two characters hobble from event to event without giving the viewer a sense of momentum or emotional attachment. And ye gods, that terrible orange hue over everything. Tries so hard to be the new Labyrinth and Neverending story both at once, but only manages to be an incoherent mess with some nifty aspects.
Unfortunately the Henson company working at that low budget weren't able to live up to my expectations for the directorial debut of a visual genius as Dave McKean, and McKean himself struggles a bit in the director's chair... But the Gaiman'esk story is sweet and dark, and all in all the movie is still definitely worth a watch.
A surreal masterpiece. Like Alice in Wonderland if it was a bad acid trip instead of a good one.
Oh, and it's all just a metaphor for bieng at that weird age between girl and woman among other things. Work of art, watch with an open mind.
When I first saw the trailer I was a little iffy on the outdated graphics, but it works surprisingly well, especially with the 90's style coffeehouse jazz soundtrack. Some trip-ups here and there but otherwise a very inventive Alice-in-Wonderland-style trip into the imagination.
Interesting movie, reminds me a lot of the 90s fantasies, except for a lot darker. Hints of Coraline too, but that's to be expected as its Neil Gaiman written.
This movie is similar to that scene from Orange County where Colin Hanks finds out that the girl he has just met and hit it off with is into Crazy Town, revealing her to be utterly shallow. I thought Mirrormask would be a great fantasy film, particularly given the unmistakable Dave McKean visuals. Unfortunately, it's a turd wrapped in a nice-looking package.
A movie about a misunderstood, angsty goth-girl who's great at "drawring" pictures and juggling. Visually unique, but Neil Gaiman's bland script pulls the movie down. He should stick to writing books, not poisoning the screen with duds like this and Stardust (wait...maybe he should just stay away from compound words).
Mirrormask contains an incredibly imaginative world that isn't derivative of any fantasy world I have ever come across. Seeing the sights of inner workings of the MirrorMask world is worth the watch alone.
