i see it get some bad review and but i really like the last mimzy . i do not know how much it be like the book and but i like the idea the film be base on and the graphic be nice and and it be a new twist on an old storyline ( the kid do a really good job act too ) . some people complain it do not have any action and they fell asleep well it not an action movie and and honestly if you fall asleep and either youre really overwork or youre just not into light mystery and philosophical idea . it definitely have a new age touch and it mysterious and and with a nice bit of surreal or sci fi if you like movie the same pace and style a k pax ( though this one be a bit more geared towards kid ) and then you will probably like mimzy . i wouldn not suggest really young kid for this one and they might not understand a lot of it 10 and up would probably enjoy it more . also and the less you know about the movie and the more you will like it . don not spend a day read review and look at trailer . grab your kid and go to the theater and and see it for yourself with a fresh mind . you will probably enjoy it as much a i do . positive .
