Synopsis:
Helena, a 15-year-old girl in a family of circus entertainers, often wishes she could run off and join real life. After a fight with her parents about her future plans, her mother falls quite ill and Helena is convinced that it is all her fault. On the eve of her mother's major surgery, she dreams that she is in a strange world with two opposing queens, bizarre creatures, and masked inhabitants. All is not well in this new world - the white queen has fallen ill and can only be restored by the MirrorMask, and it's up to Helena to find it. But as her adventures continue, she begins to wonder whether she's in a dream, or something far more sinister
Based of a book? Yes!

I bought this movie at random yesterday, thinking it would be my type of a movie. And boy was I right. It started off kind of horrible, as in, it was just totally weird. I was like...what?
Then slowly the whole fantasy/CGI part kicks in and I was ASTONISHED or in other words this
.
Seriously, this whole movie was a cross between reality and CGI effects. I didn't know what to think of this movie. It was really good, yes, but the whole movie itself (with the CGI) is just frickin' weird. It didn't seem like a typical movie. I was thinking, this would be a great movie to watch it you are HIGH
The creatures are wacked up in this. Not kidding. Like some of them are made out of weird objects and the mouth is made of glass with a human mouth in the mirror. But the rest of the body/figure/creature wasn't human and made out of random stuff. I was quite in aww with this movie. I would rate it 10/10 for sure. The plot starts off weak, but it gets better. If you want to know more about the plot, ask me.
And to top it off, the main character, Helena, looks exactly like Vanessa Hudgens but with shorter hair
. I was like...damn, she looks like Vanessa so much. If you guys haven't check this movie out, I HIGHLY recommend it. It was an amazing CGI and the plot is just crazy. It's one of those adventure/action type movies I suppose.
If you still are skeptic about seeing this, see it because of Helena
. If you think Vanessa is hot, you'll be like wow, she does look like Vanessa. <333
*EDIT*
Oh and I forgot to say this, lol. Remember that whole LVD thing with me? Well on the back of this DVD, the plot summary says this:
"The White Queen sleeps and will not wake. Black shadows have fallen across her kingdom. The balance between Dark and Light is broken and only the MIRRORMASK can restore it. So Helena, a stranger in a strange land, embars on an epic quest to find the missing charm before darkness envelops the Dreamworld forever."
LOL! When I read that, I thought of the whole LVD thing I randomly came up with and bought it based off of that
. Anyways,

What do you think is the best CGI movie?
From the movies I've seen in my life, it would have to be "MirrorMask." It must've taken them years upon years to do this movie. It's just "MAD."
