Pros: Acting, direction, special effects
Cons: None
Summary: I just watched a "Sneak Preview" of "The Last Mimzy" on a rare Sunday afternoon "sneak". I had seen trailers for the film but really didn't know much about it. While it may or may not be "this generations' 'E.T.'", it certainly is an excellent film ... read more

Pros: Unique plotline, futuristic, objects/toys come alive, complex equations
Cons: Objects talk in musical noise, nudity, child uses bad language, cursing, more in review
Summary: I watched The Last Mimzy tonight prior to allowing my child to watch it and am glad I did! Maybe I am a prude but sheesh! Naked men, children using bad language, keeping secrets about danger from parents, and more are in this movie. It is rated PG ... read more

Pros: some good acting by the children
Cons: everything else
Summary: Boy did I have high expectations for this movie. The first trailer I saw for this movie made me say to the person next to me (don't worry I knew him )"Man I wanna see this movie!" So it was the Tuesday before it opened that I went to the sneak preview. ... read more

Pros: Story for everyone to watch together
Cons: Maybe too cutesy for the old grumps
Summary: Great story and special effects. Started movie having no idea of story and I was fascinated with the rabbit "mimzy". I often thought my own live rabbits talked to me but then that is just adult anthropomorphic wishes. The tie in with Lewis Carrol's ... read more

Pros: May be good for kids/family night.
Cons: Boring. H0-Hum special effects. Very slow.
Summary: My better half and I were bored, so we rented a couple of DVDs. I made the mistake of choosing THE LAST MIMZY. From the previews I thought it might be interesting. Other child actor movies I've seen can be cute and sometimes very well acted. I ... read more

Pros: It ended.
Cons: Weak story lacking cohesion, terrible acting, camera work
Summary: Following in the overrated E.T.'s footsteps, the "Last Mimzy" tries to conjure up a magical space-age children's tale that becomes very odd. Two kids find a strange space-age capsule on the beach and discover its powers. Complete with a stuffed ... read more

Pros: Great acting by the child stars.
Cons: Thin plot, lackluster performance by Hutton.
Summary: Magic; I mean the real stuff and not the slight-of-hand craft practiced by earth bound magicians has always been the subject of wonder. Children, as the ledged goes, believe in true magic, adults do not. The 2007 movie The Last Mimzy would ... read more

Summary: About two months ago, my wife and I bought a house. Since then, we've been up to our ears in bags, boxes and bubble wrap. When we haven't been sorting, packing and ferrying our belongings from one place to another, we've been working extra hours to build ... read more

Pros: Positive story line, fabulous art direction/special effect usage, complicated characters, many layers of meaning.
Cons: Well, Timothy Hutton. I never did like him much, although he did fine here.
Summary: Ahhhh....I was so pleased with this movie. It is intelligent. It is well written. It is inventive. The characters are creatively developed and unique. The children, although adorable, are not cute objects, but real people with complicated desires and ... read more

Pros: Suspenseful
Cons: Anti-Government; encourages hiding truth from parents; emphasis on Buddism/TM; singles living together.
Summary: This review may contain spoilers. I did not read the short story it was based upon. I took my pre-teen daughter and her mother to see this at a sneek preview on 3/18/07. Summary: Humanity from the future is in genetic trouble because of ... read more

Cons: a bit scary for kids in a few parts, but overall not bad at all.
Summary: We went to a sneak preview of The Last Mimzy today, it is not scheduled to come out for about another week. I took my 4 boys ages 2,5,8 and 10. My husband also came along. Our entire family loved it!!! There is plenty to keep kids interested as well as ... read more

Pros: Charming Magic - Cute Children - Admirable Message
Cons: The horridly wrong usage of delightful classical melodies... poor job in reflecting the required feeling.
Summary: Despite its amicable intentions and its child enticing charm, "The Last Mimzy" doubtlessly fails at making a wholly entertaining film. As a rental it may satisfy in a modest manner, for it holds charming attributes. Yet, if you're searching for a child
