| Description Two kids find a bizarre box on the beach and are soon exhibiting signs of off-the-chart genius in this gently mind-blowing fantasy film. Little Emma (Rhiannon Leigh Wryn) finds a cute bunny doll in the box, who talks to her in electronic code, and Noah (Chris O’Neil) learns to speak in a frequency that lets him control spiders. The kids learn to move objects via psychokinesis and communicate telepathically. Naturally, their parents (Timothy Hutton and Joely Richardson) wonder what is going on here. Noah’s science teacher (Rainn Wilson) has dreams predicting all this, centreed on a mandala symbol from ancient Tibetan Buddhism, which Noah draws in class. Michael Clarke Duncan is suitably dour as the Homeland Security official who investigates when the kids’ newfound power creates a major blackout across Seattle. Parents who cringe at the vulgarity of many kid films will certainly appreciate THE LAST MIMZY’s sweet-natured awe towards the natural world and its inhabitants, which comes without extraneous action or excessive musical bombast. The film moves with a poetic grace, calling attention to environmental and social problems without preaching, and creating the possibility for a genuinely better world. The child actors are real naturals who are allowed to talk and sound like kids, and car chases and explosions are all but absent in place of genuine mystery and excitement about human potential. It's rare to find a sci-fi film that makes the future seem worth saving, so consider this one a true gem.

Report this review  The Last MimzyIn these times of great spiritual and human awakening, this CD film strikes the heart directly. The children will lead the world into the Golden era! There is a new brightness about our young people today that surpasses earlier generations. These young people are our only hope for this planet. As a word of advice to parents and teachers, please listen to the children, for they have a wisdom often lacking in many adults. Review ID: 10000000006881087 Was this review helpful?

Report this review  Great kid's movie, not much to keep adults entertained.Review created: 30/01/08 by: When this was released, it was touted as the next E.T. so i was really looking forward to seeing it. i was so pleased when i won it on ebay. as soon as it arrived, i settled down to watch it, but it left me feeling a litle disappointed. the cast are superb, especially the child actors. it's just the story is slightly weak. i'm sure the book is good that it is based on, but it didn't translate well onto the screen. the comparison's to E.T. were well deserved - there is more than one scene which seems like a direct homage to the film itself. i'm certain a younger audience would love this film as much as i loved E.T. when i was a child. it is an innocent film that teaches children that they can do anything they put their mind to.
