From what scant research I did over the course of preparing this review, I learned that some reviewers were not very kind to Last Mimzy – the two main complaints, as I understand it, were, from conservative writers, that the film was ‘promoting liberal propaganda’ or some such, and, from sci-fi enthusiasts, that it was too-loosely adapted from its source material, ‘Mimsy were the Borogoves’, a classic little short story collected in volume one of the venerable anthology series ‘The Science Fiction Hall of Fame’. OK, before I get into why I personally like the movie, let’s delve a little bit into other people’s reactions to it.

Can the kids figure out how to use their new powers and save the world before it’s too late? Up to this point the two have kept their discovery a secret, but assorted bizarre occurrences have a way of drawing attention – not just from their parents, from everybody, including (after one particularly dramatic stunt) the government. Each of the ‘toys’ is part of a process of vital importance to the world-that-will-be – a process that said world is depending on Noah and Emma to complete. It and its contents aren’t just any random conglomeration of miraculous powers-causing junk they’ve been sent back to our time from the far future – which, as far futures tend to, kinda sucks. That toy box, you see, is more than it seems.
Noah suddenly becomes really smart, and begins to conceptualize some truly amazing scientific notions, while Emma has been paying close attention to that new best friend of hers, and has learned some interesting things (and how to do some interesting things) in the process. However, it quickly becomes evident that they are changing the children themselves in ways they don’t quite understand.
What’s more, the rabbit’s name is Mimzy, which Emma knows because it talks to her in a curiously adorable purr-growl that only she can hear or understand. Upon opening it, they find that it contains a collection of weird objects, along with a stuffed bunny rabbit that Emma quickly claims as her own.Īt first, these things are just really cool toys – each has some sort of strange ability attached to it, such as teleporting things, levitation, and talking to bugs. Things take a decided turn for the stranger, though, when he and his sister find an odd-looking box half-buried in the sand. Oh sure, he’s got a few gripes, but they’re ones a lot of other ten-year-olds can relate to – his sister Emma (Rhiannon Leigh Wryn) gets on his nerves at times, his dad (Timothy Hutton) is a bit of a workaholic who is seldom around, and, oh yeah, he’s spending spring break with his family at the beach instead of hanging out with his friends. At least, it was for me.Īs the story opens, Noah Wilder (Chris O’Neil) is living a pretty normal life. Such a movie, in case you hadn’t guessed by now, was The Last Mimzy. You remember them a bit later, and you wonder ‘just what happened to such-and-such? It was cool’ – and yet apparently only you and a handful of others even remember it. I’m not talking about movies that you thought were good, but which flopped hard I’m talking about ones that do their time in the theaters and then just sort of vanish into rental obscurity. You see them when they first come out, you think ‘that was pretty good’, you recommend them to your friends, and you expect them to achieve the success that they clearly deserve. You probably know what I’m talking about.
