The Last Mimzy by Henry Kuttner (2007, Paperback)

Imagination has returned to the movies! This movie is fantastic in so many ways! It's a movie for both adults and children. Children can follow enough of the movie to thoroughly enjoy it (as evidenced in the theatre) and for adults, it has drama and suspense. I can't remember the last movie I saw that was made well enough for both audiences. The kids in the movie did such a great job and it was great to see Timothy Hutton again. (Although the mom in the movie is a little on the over-acting side.) While leaving the theatre, both men and women were raving about it. The special effects were fantastic! You need to pay attention or you could miss some clues and answers. It's not incredibly predictable, which will help hold your interest. It's fun and adventurous and will make you remember how much fun it was/is to believe in possibilities! There are bound to be those who complain about this movie but I believe those people will be the kind who need their movies to be flashier and more gratuitous than the last one. This is a movie to have fun with! If you still have an ounce of childhood innocence and the ability to dream, you'll enjoy The Last Mimzy!
