The Last Mimzy
The future is trying to tell us something.
Based on the acclaimed sci-fi short story by Lewis Padgett, The last mimzy centers on two children who discover a mysterious box containing some strange devices they think are toys. As the children play with these "toys," they begin to display higher intelligence levels, prompting their parents and the community to search for answers.

I watched this while my kids were sleeping shh!
Hard-core sci-fi fans may not be impressed, and may be put off by the many parallels to the characters and story line of ET, but this is an excellent pre-teen introduction to the science fiction genre. The script is easy to follow and the acting and production values are great. No sex, violence, or profanity for parents to worry about.
My complaint is the ending was too rushed, I think the creators were late for an important date, maybe? as Alice from Wonderland was mentioned, so I assume so. :D
it left a lot to the imagination at the end..

I'm not entirely clear on what the key to saving humankind was that the Mimzy was supposed to find in our time and bring back to the future. Clearly the girl's tears on the Mimzy bunny had something to do with it... is it simply compassion or was it something to do with DNA? It wasn't very clear. Did Alice of "Alice and the Looking Glass" who also had a Mimzy rabbit not have tears of compassion? Or was her DNA contaminated, since the movie talks about environmental contamination of some kind in the future? Unclear. When the Mimzy rabbit returns to the science lab of the future and releases its cargo, a teen boy and teen girl take off the alien-looking "space suits" they are wearing and walk naked into the shining light. Not clear on what that was supposed to represent either. Why were they naked, for example? Overall what I took away from this movie was tidbits about Tibetan religious mandalas, reading palms, and nanotechnology. The rest of the story was cute and the acting was fine.Intriquing - wingfield
I had high expectations for this movie and was a bit disappointed when the story fell a little bit flat, somehow it felt incomplete or shortened considerably to fit the film version. There were times when it was inconsistent or spotty which caused me to stop and think about those issues rather than simply enjoy it. The ending seemed rather abrupt and placed together at the last minute which was irritating.
Overall, it was a unique and magical experience in regards to producing a fresh story for families to enjoy. The ideas behind it are wonderfully intriquing and a nice twist for those who have grown tired of mystical tales.
The actors were a good fit for the most part and provided a belivable family environment although not neccessarily outstanding or brilliant.
The Last Mimzy would be a great video to take with you for your holiday trips, especially for the young ones. They would certainly enjoy the magical aspect of it and hopefully be inspired by the imagination within it.
