The Last Mimzy

Movie review and movie trailer.

Theatrical Release Date: March 23, 2007

Starring: Timothy Hutton, Joely Richardson, Rhiannon Leigh Wryn, Rainn Wilson, Chris O‘Neill. Directed by Robert Shaye. A New Line release.

Family and Children, Action and Adventure, Drama. Rating: PG. Running time: 90 minutes.

Based on the acclaimed sci-fi short story by Lewis Padgett, “The Last Mimzy”

Emma and Noah (Rhiannon Leigh Wryn and Chris O‘Neill) are two children who find a box containing some strange devices they think are toys. They soon find out that a stuffed toy rabbit they name Mimzy has the ability to communicate with them and to impart some of his wisdom and superior powers. The government eventually learns about Mimzy and discovers from a scientific scan that it is part high level electronic, and part organic. Where is he from and what does he want?

At the beginning, this movie seems to go nowhere and doesn’t draw you in. It gets better later, although it’s sometimes unfocused by seeming to cater alternatively to adults and to kids.

Grade: C+
