This is the best movie I've seen in a long time. Both science and imagination were combined, as are most other SCI-FI movies, but this one was sweet at the same time. Personally, I loved it.

What struck me as particularly strange about Mimzy is how dated certain aspects of the script feel: environmental fear mongering, Palmistry, New Age meditation, technological paranoia, cliched character archetypes... had this movie been What struck me as particularly strange about Mimzy is how dated certain aspects of the script feel: environmental fear mongering, Palmistry, New Age meditation, technological paranoia, cliched character archetypes... had this movie been released in 1984 instead of 2007, it still would have been perfectly intelligible to an audience and might have fared better among critics (had the acting been better). As it stands, Mimzy fails to impress.… Expand

It's pretty bad when my 9 year old falls asleep during the middle of the movie. Need I say more?

I think this movie works best as a campy, pseudo- horror flick for kids. Instead of E.T. or Close Encounters for middle schoolers, like the exorcist for kids. frickin crazy and ends fairly unsatisfying, but its a fun crazy ride.

Granted, there are a couple of clunky scenes but I fully connected with this film. Forget the critics whose brains have clearly lost more than half of their original synapses. If you're intrigued, ignore the metascore and go see it.

The 'creepy' parts had her a bit scared for a while, but the resolution pleased her. She says that she will want to see it again when it comes out on DVD. I liked how the movie put a magnifying glass up to our current times -- from the overly-used electronic devices to the homeland securty/post 9-11 knee jerk response of fear and overreaction. Nice tie-in with the past as well.… Expand

this movie was cute but lacked very much entertainment. The acting was pretty poor at times and there was no point in the film were you felt at the edge of your seat.

I am so glad that I saw this film on a plane and did not waste my money at a theater. It is a white-bread home-schooler's fantasy. Wait to see it as a late night rerun so you can sleep through it.

I thought this movie was very good. The reason a lot of people gave this movie a bad grade, is because it's a kids's movie. I liked this movie because, it was very creative and adventurous. I liked the part when Noah saved Emma and I thought this movie was very good. The reason a lot of people gave this movie a bad grade, is because it's a kids's movie.

This was a good experience for me because it had a lot of great special effects. In this movie Emma is more powerful than Noah. Noah is smart and Emma can do amazing things like levitate rocks.… Expand

I cannot see this movie having any success because it is simply flop material. C-Class Actors and a terrible plot make this one a forgettable and boring film for 2007. Means nothing.

A wonderful story and great performances by the two young newcomers. Kids will like it and parents will surprise themselves.

"The Last Mimzy" plays like a high hippie's rebuke against the increasingly insular nature of people that technology helped beget. With a different soundtrack, some scenes would play like horror. This is the reason why "The Last Mimzy" has an off-kilter tone to it. Look for references from "Phantasm", "Poltergeist", "The Shining", and most explicitly, "The Exorcist". The story is strange, but the family isn't. Their love for each other anchors "The Last Mimzy" with a believability, even when Tibetan paintings from the tenth century and mind-controlled cockroaches are brought into the mix. Rainn Wilson(he has lucid dreams) and Kathryn Hahn(she reads palms) are endearingly kooky, but real. See this film; learn what a mandala is, and be prepared for a Syd Barrett-like riff on the Spielberg classic.… Expand

OK first and foremost this film pulls no punches about being New Agey, and that was just fine by me. I could see how this would throw some, but I think it fit well with the story.

I could see how this would throw some, but I think it fit well with the story. I thought the acting was quite good, especially the kid actors. They were the real stars of the show and that was how it was meant to be. The visuals were a good as one could ever expect, though I ultimately do not think what this film was about. The film underlining the theme was a message. A message of hope. In these times of global warming, terrorism, mass school killings, etc, this film was a shining ray. It really made me want to go out there and help the world in the ways needed via what I had to give. It should not be underestimated the value of this message, which is in part the reason why I gave it high marks. Yes, it was hokey at times and I made efforts to not let it spoil my overall impression, which in this case, hopefully, is a lasting one.… Expand

I enjoyed this show, and my kids really liked it too. It kind of has quality reminiscant of E.T. or Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind. The concept was unique and interesting and the actors did a great job.

The Last Mimzy was last place.
An extremely poor script plagued this film to absolutely no end. The premises was already a stretch, the acting was below average, and the characters were catastrophically bad.

Eu acho surpreendente o filme, porém muito se poderia ter desenvolvido a metafísica e o esoterismo que são abordados no filme.
