Chris O’Neil plays a typically detached modern boy with video game in hand, but his loyalty to, and love for, his little sister is unquestioning and unwavering. and not just because it was about some kids that help an alien life form (maybe) and outsmart reactionist government officials. I really liked this movie and I found it to be in keeping with the spirit of E.T. Between freaked out parents and even more freaked out Homeland Security flacks, the kids have to use all their ingenuity to help Mimzy achieve her mission and return home. The kids bring together two of the artefacts, which causes an energy discharge that blacks out half the state.
#THE LAST MIMZY MOVIE TIMES HOW TO#
Noah learns how to manipulate spiders and direct them to create designer webs. Emma discovers stones that she can make spin, causing them to create a weird energy field. While at their beach house one Easter break, the kids discover a box in the sand that contains several bizarre artefacts and one stuffed bunny that tells Emma that its name is Mimzy. None of these bits of trivia told me anything about what The Last Mimzy was really all about, but I have to say I kind of like it like that.īased on the short story called “Mimzy Were the Borogoves” by Lewis Padgett, the movie is about two kids named Emma and Noah (Rhiannon Leigh Wryn and Chris O’Neil). I also knew that it was directed by Robert Shaye, whose day job is running New Line Studios and starting wars of words against Peter Jackson when he can find the time. I also knew it involved a mysterious stuffed rabbit that the little girl says teaches her things. What did I know going in to a special sneak preview screening Saturday night? I knew it involved a pair of kids with exceptional abilities. The trailer for The Last Mimzy was one of those rare concoctions that didn’t tip its hand and spill all its secrets in a two-minute span.
