Last Mimzy, The

Aroview: Bro and sis develop amazing mental powers when they uncover a mysterious black box full of objects including Mimzy, a stuffed rabbit, sent from the future with a warning for humanity, in this new-age, sci-fi family adventure.

A sense of discovery and wide-eyed inquisitiveness is shaped nicely around modest special effects, a welcome throwback to the more tactile fantasy films of the eighties. New Line founder Bob Shaye provides the able direction, touching and heartfelt in its down-to-earth simplicity. Based on the short story 'All Mimsy Were the Borogroves' by Lewis Padgett.
