when i venture to the theatre for the advance screening of the last mimzy and i honestly do not know what to expect . what little i know about the film be that it genre be part family film and part adventure and part drama . it be only a few week ago that bridge to terabithia left a bad taste in my mouth and so my walk to my favorite aisle seat be more of a saunter than a skip and a hop . the opening credit give me a glimmer of hope . timothy hutton and joely richardson and michael clarke duncan be name that appear in big bold letter and each one of these actor i respect for their previous work on the screen . so i sit back in hope that it be more narnia than terabithia . wishful thinking . the last mimzy be about two child who find a box that have be send back in time to save civilization . the child noah and emma wilder ( play not too convincingly by chris oneil and rhiannon leigh wryn ) open the box which contain some magical rock and a seashell that allow them to hear thing human can not and a contraption that look like a dead sea urchin and a stuffed doll rabbit that be the weird artificial intelligence to grace the screen since that stupid bear give me nightmares in spielberg a. i. when the child start to experiment and play with their new find toy magical thing start to happen . they can levitate and they can atomize their hand and they can borderline fly . oh and and they can sap the power out of half of seattle which lead to the f. b. i . ( head by an uncomfortable look duncan ) to investigate and eventually detain the wilder family . the story a i think to understand it and be that a scientist in the future send back multiple rabbit in an attempt to gather some pure dna to ensure their own be . ( spoiler represent why the scientist be shoot in one potential future by an alien be still puzzle ) . see and human can not go back in time and so this freaky toy have to go back and save the world . interest . possibly . original . hardly . so while the future awaits word on mimzy success or failure ( that be that rabbit name for anyone that care ) and the child run amok by communicate with arachnid and jump on the beach like an extra from pixar the incredibles and talk to the stuffed animal that represent future only hope . the last mimzy be like cross the bad of john hughes and cross it with a below average spielberg . the film have no heart and no character and the scene seem to be cut together randomly with very little flow between reel . all the actor look like they be try to squeeze some movie magic out of the very skimpy and unoriginal script base on the short story by lewis padgett . but director bob shaye and who have not be behind the camera since 1990 book of love and weave an incoherent and completely unbelievable plot that go nowhere fast and result in a dead end once we get there . the final scene which have the f. b. i. leave the wilder family be maybe the bad write scene i have bore witness to this year . and i have see more poop than a dog walker . the last mimzy might be for the kiddy . they might get something out of it . i do not . the redhead beside me that engage me in conversation about the film at it conclusion do not . and judging by the few that leave the theatre during the screening and do not come back i be guess that they do not either . www . robertsreviews . com .
