A shame it doesn’t mimic the quality of the original
Imitative and unimaginative sequel (read remake) of Guillermo Del Toro’s unique theatrical treatment of Donald A.Wollheim’s short story “Mimic” is a direct-to-DVD movie, with performances to match. The central character is, for all intents and purposes, identical to that of the autistic child in the first film, here portrayed as a vulnerable, mistreated, misunderstood entomological enthusiast who daylights as a primary school teacher. Her curiosity with the insect world leads both her and a pair of hard case students into a night of terror, relentlessly hunted by the mutated Judas bug, fresh from feasting on her romantic rejections and primed to propagate the species.The characterisations are formula driven and predictable, each with their own cross to bare and point to prove. Uber-cool cop Bruno Campos looks a little young for the hard-nosed, toothpick chewing detective, while all the other ancillary characters are basic stereotypes each with two scenes, one in which involves their obligatory demise. Even the appearance of veteran movie tough guy, the late Edward Albert isn’t enough to redeem this inferior sequel.
Not always coherent “Mimic 2” begins when a running man’s death leaves a suitcase full of the deadly genetic mutations, that gradually infiltrate the population. The film moves at such break-neck speed, that there’s never any explanation for suitcase, nor much context around the central character’s peculiar habit of taking photographs of herself, following traumatic experiences (an intriguing premise, it turned into a thematic cul-de-sac, simply abandoned without elaboration). Ultimately, at 79 minutes short, the plot holes are all consuming and the overall result is disappointing.
Setting the story straight!
Yes, after having read my fellow IMDb:ers comments I feel I have to set the story straight! I saw some people rating this movie as an eight – this must be against some constitution! This is a really crappy movie, even for a genre where a certain level crappiness is the standard.It starts off poorly and predictably with the mandatory murder-introduction of the baddie. It’s just that they didn’t give it any effort which made it feel like it really really was just something to get over with. Do the stereo-typical smoking alleyway with something illusive moving just out of sight. Then suddenly the predator decides that now, unlike the past five minutes, is a really good time to strike. Slash-boom-bang!
Predictable and stereo-typical are key words for this movie. Anyone who can’t see what’s coming next must either be very naive or new to (at least) this genre. The actors just plow through the script, not doing a bad job, but I don’t think they spent too much time on in-depth character-analysis. The only one who is a delight to see is the guy playing the leader of the bug-hunting-team(recognize him but don’t know his name).
As for the ending (don’t worry, I’m not gonna give this piece of art away) – that was the final yank that flushed the movie down – it was as if they didn’t have enough time, money, energy or whatever left, and just fast-forwarded the whole thing. It was full of logical glitches, super-predictable and just mega sucking.
To sum it up – I don’t think too much effort was put into this movie or that anyone pondered upon what the end product would actually convey. So why don’t I rate this movie a one (1)? On this I’d like to quote my fellow country man and comment leaver Karl Hem “because I’ve actually seen worse, can you believe it!”
