7/10
Whimsical must-see fantasy.
13 September 2007
Warning: Spoilers
Round up the kiddies and pop the popcorn. This film will entertain all ages. Noah(Chris O'Neil)and Emma(Rhiannon Leigh Wryn)Wilder were excited to leave Seattle on vacation to the beach of Whidbey Island. The children find a mysterious box washing ashore. Upon opening, the puzzle box contained shiny rocks, a conch shell and a stuffed rabbit among other things. The rabbit tells Emma its name is Mimzy. The box contained a green crystal block that Noah discovers allows him to move objects. The box and new "toys" make their way back home to Seattle, and life really gets strange. The children's mom(Joely Richardson)is also trying to digest the fact Noah and Emma are specially gifted children. Half the state of Washington is blacked out and it alerts Homeland Security to the Wilder home. Mimzy is the phenomenon that holds the key to mankind's future. F/X are fascinating. Also in the cast: Michael Clarke Duncan, Rain Wilson and Kathryn Hahn.
