imaginative entertainment with some trippy images and a very good, ET-style heart
The Last Mimzy doesn’t pander needlessly to its core audience, but at the same time it also has a good accomplishment in that it also has an appeal to adults, or at least those that have passed that age of adolescence and look back on childhood with levels of nostalgia and relief that it’s over. It delights as well as gives special meaning to putting a level of belief in what is unknown at a time when the rest of the world relies on hard facts and rigid control of personality. It also puts ET to a certain test: can the little creature from another world that needs to get home kind of story hold up to quasi (actually precise) psychedelia? Pink Floyd shirts and Roger Waters aside, this may even have a secret appeal to stoners just as much as your little boy or girl at the movie theater, who will obviously see it in a different life, that of light, efficient irreverence and lots of neat special effects.

‘Mimzy’ tells the story of a boy and a girl, Noah and Emma, both at least under the age of 10 but old enough to be articulate enough as well as appropriately secretive in the fantasy they hold paramount, who come upon a strange rock from the ocean. In it lies a bunch of fragments, and, oddly enough, a stuffed, fluffy, cute bunny named Mimzy, who Emma takes as her most important possession. Noah meanwhile becomes transfixed with the new powers that soon come to him via these rocks: he can hear the smallest insect, and is transfixed by obscure designs. This strikes up the attention of his parents as well as his science teacher (Rainn Wilson), who also knows of the symbols Noah makes up. But after a power outage- it also happens to be a generator that Noah conjures- gets the attention of the government, not sure what exactly is going on. Emma has a problem, however, in that Mimzy, her closest confidant and “teacher” is dying and needs to get back home. That’s the basic story, anyway, as there are little ins and outs as the story goes on, including a great product placement for Sprite, and a montage-free example of each child’s new abilities.

Some of this may be a little preposterous, even goofy, but Bob Shaye and his team bypass the obvious but still perilous pit-falls for filmmakers investing themselves into children’s movies. No truly stupid gags, nothing with bodily excretions, none of that really, and if anything the humor, of a little wild and over-the-top in variety (some of which I was laughing at alone while the other kids were silent), is innocent and sort of knowing of the split of imagination between children and adults. The two kids are also very good at playing their parts, with Wryn as Emma very adept at being vulnerable and smart, and O’Neil being almost too close to looking like the boy Elliot in ET, however not without his own strengths. Shaye sometimes lets his control slip in just simple things like cinematography or making a fitting enough ending (too many futuristic hippies me thinks), and the goofiness does teeter on becoming a little too much. But I responded more to how the power of taking a long repeated idea, of kids becoming changed by outside forces in a very real world, and there being a sort of little twist to it all. It’s not just about making friends and gaining in some alien intelligence, but in figuring the significance of the future, however weird it might be. It’s definitely the finest children’s movie, non-animated, to come out so far in 2007. 7.5/10

Treat children like caring and intelligent beings
Unlike many adults whose vision has become clouded by the weight of the current materialist paradigm, children generally are much more open to the mystery and wonder of the universe. Most films geared to children, however, lack the vision to portray this wonder, resigning themselves to the conformist drum beat of ugly monsters and good versus evil confrontations. Robert Shaye’s The Last Mimzy, however, treats children like the caring, intelligent beings that they are, showing an appreciation of interesting and beautiful things that are available beyond iPods, computer games, and other forms of commercialized entertainment.

Based on a short story from 1943 by Lewis Padgett, a scientist from the future looks to children from the past to save his dying world. Apparently the future world is so poisoned that people have to wear alien-looking suits for protection from pollution. As 10-year old Noah Wilder (Chris O’Neil) and his 6-year old sister Emma (Rhiannon Leigh Wryn) discover an odd looking box that washes up on the beach near their family’s summer home in the Seattle area, the door is opened to a non-linear reality that they could have scarcely imagined.

In this reality, small rocks can spin on their own and provide the opening to a different dimension, a glowing crystal allows Noah to teleport objects, a sea shell emits strange noises, and a stuffed rabbit communicates telepathically and tells Emma that she represents future humanity’s last chance. Newly possessed of heightened powers, Noah is able to create a science project that deeply impresses his science teacher Larry White (Rainn Wilson). Larry visits the boy’s mother (Joely Richardson) and father (Timothy Hutton) with girlfriend Naomi (Kathryn Hahn) to tell the parents not only about Noah’s science project but about the boy’s notebook which contains drawings of Tibetan mandalas, images that the teacher has been seeing in dreams.

He explains to the somewhat bewildered parents that mandalas may provide the path to focus meditation on healing the world. Naomi reads the palms of the two children and finds an unusual purity in Emma’s palm but neither she nor Larry can understand or interpret the results or the changes taking place in the lives of the children. When Noah’s experiments result in a sudden blackout of the entire Seattle area, the Feds naturally become interested. A Homeland Security official played by Michael Clarke Duncan traces the source of the blackout to the Wilder’s suburban home and, using the authority of the Patriot Act, storms into their home, confidently filling the role of villain. If you’ve seen E.T., you know that the children will become the embodiment of calm and reason while the adults remain clueless and panic hysterically at the sight of anything unusual.

I welcome the fact that a major studio has produced a film for children that dares to introduce elements of Eastern mysticism without the usual silliness attending such references. Unfortunately, the film takes a scatter shot approach to spirituality, throwing together a smörgåsbord of palm reading, meditation, Tibetan mandalas, lucid dreaming, mental telepathy, and levitation, in a way that lacks any organic relationship to the film’s message. However, while The Last Mimzy lacks the imagination and stylistic vision to be a fully satisfying experience, it is nonetheless a timely and entertaining film that children can appreciate and identify with and adults may find thought provoking. If it can make us all more aware that the infinite affection of children is needed to restore sanity to a troubled world, it will have accomplished something much more profound than spinning rocks.
