caseyjsaisi My mother and I bought the movie and we loved every moment of it (even the dumb moments). I thought the toys were so original and the bunny Mimzy was so cute.Now seeing it again after eleven years, I found the movie quite remarkable. The special effects looked so realistic. The acting, the chemistry and the character development of the children was terrific, I couldn't imagine a better brother and sister team like Noah and Emma. The performances from the adult characters like the parents, the science teacher and the FBI were played brilliantly.My only flaws are how the toys get the Wilder family in trouble with the FBI and how the mother throws Mimzy, along with the other toys, away like yesterday's trash (don't worry, Noah finds them later) and hurting her daughter's feelings.The ending blew my mind when the kids manage to send Mimzy back to the futuristic world before she dies and how Emma's tear plays into the story and saves the future.Of all the films I've seen based on time travel, The Last Mimzy is the prefect spell-binding family movie to watch on a Friday Night.

airlines This film is a really good piece of entertainment for kids, with just enough high-concept sci-fi to keep the adults engaged as well. The overall theme of communication is well-embedded throughout the film, even down to the end credits, with a Roger Waters song that echoes some of his Pink Floyd classics. High marks for the two child actors, particularly Rhiannon Leigh Wryn as Emma Wilder, who with Chris O'Neil as her brother Noah, never seem to be acting, but come across as just two normal kids. The "government overstepping it's bounds" part of the plot seems a bit shoe-horned in, but it does give some minor characters a chance to get back into the story. All in all, a damn sight better than a lot of kids movies that slide into over-violent trash...

doris-chiang It's classified as a kids movie, but really, it is more than that. Some how, we are approaching the end of the day, not in the way people may interpret from the Bible, but instead, Human are already digging their own hell and creating their heaven depending on how they would like to use their mind to work for them. At the end of the movie, the future human have super powers to fly off the sky, as light as an angel. But aren't all baby born like an angel, and everyone were once a baby? What happened when we grow? Why can we only find that pure love and whole hearted passion for life only from a child? From a child's eye, it does not make sense to find it hard accepting new things (unlike the child's nanny or parents), but simply to recognize things as it is. Place no judgment on things but to enjoy them.Don't you agree? That when you polish your heart back to as a child, you too can start to fly and see only the beauty in the world?

JoeytheBrit This is quite an entertaining film, and I liked the way it incorporated Lewis Carroll's evergreen Alice in Wonderland tale into its story of extra-terrestrial visitors, but it falters very badly in the last reel and ends up looking like just another inferior copy of ET.Chris O'Neil and Rhiannon Leigh Wryn play siblings who stumble across a mysterious box on the beach which happens to contain a cuddly rabbit transported from a dying planet in a desperate quest for the elixir it needs to revive its people. Previous mimzys, we learn, made it to earth before - most obviously in the late nineteenth/early twentieth century when it landed in the lap of the girl who inspired Lewis Carroll to write Alice in Wonderland (rabbit, geddit?) but failed to complete their mission. Now this merging of fiction with factual history is always something that appeals to me - I like the idea of grand stories unfolding around historical fact unseen by all those who record history, and for a while this film runs with the idea quite well. Then all of a sudden it runs into a brick wall and turns to Spielberg for inspiration. I'm no screenwriter but, to me, the obvious idea would have been to follow the Lewis Carroll/Alice Liddell theme and see where it took me: the options would seem to be far greater in number than simply regurgitating the childlike-alien-relying-on-earthling-children-for-survival storyline from Spielberg's eighties flick.The child male lead looks like the youngest incarnation of Harry Potter until advanced intelligence courtesy of the alien rabbit's bric-a-brac means he no longer needs the specs. For a while he looks as if he's going to be the focus of the film, but it soon switches to his cuter younger sister. There's a hippy type teacher who dreams of winning lottery numbers but neglects to write them down, much to the chagrin of his earth-mother wife. I thought he was going to turn into some sinister nemesis but it turned out he was simply a plot device to explain the situation to the kids' unwitting parents and provide the kids themselves with a lift to the damp squib finale. That's probably where this film's real failing lies: there aren't really any bad guys to root against. Michael Clarke Duncan's FBI agent is the closest we come to a bad guy, but he's really just doing his job and bears no ill will toward the kids or their cuddly alien friend.Bottom line: young kids will love it, older kids will be entertained without being fooled, and most adults will realise that what starts off as a promising tale loses its way badly around the midway mark.
