This is a really good film to sit and watch with the kids, as it will entertain them and keep you happy enough as well. Has a slightly easter bias (Mimsy happens to be a - way too cute - stuffed wabbit !) so is ideal to watch with the young 'uns around the easter holidays, (though if it isn't easter you will still enjoy this anyway). has enough to keep the young (and not so young) entertained. Recommended.
My children got bored of this film and weren't really interested in it after the 1st ten minutes of the film it was really quiet slow and not really a child's film and not at all any good if your looking for a film to watch as a family
We saw this film and really enjoyed it,
Its well worth looking at.
Do rent it for the kids over the holidays.
The Last Mimzy is the latest in a mini influx of magical family adventures and just like the last few we have watched, including Spiderwick, Stardust and 10,000 BC; this movie is really quite enjoyable. The story is based round two children, a brother and sister, who discover a strange package in the water at a nearby beach. The two children conceal the contents with the young girl falling in love with one item in particular in the form of a toy rabbit (Mimzy). The children slowly develop new abilities as they are drawn into a magical sci-fi story suitable for all ages. The Last Mimzy certainly did entertain, however, it was not the most action packed of family films we have watched recently and takes a long time to get going, my mind wandered a few times and I am sure some childrens minds might too. That said this movie picks up pace and ends nicely leaving my wife and I reasonably satisfied. Not the strongest family movie but still worth a watch and just scrapes into the 4 stars with a 7/10 score.
i waited a long time to watch this film it is really good me my partner and my kids loved this film highly recommended

Firstly I watched this alone. It was the only unwatched movie in the house at the time, so I watched it. I enjoyed it quite a bit. Expecting a Jumanji type of film I was happy to see I was wrong. I'd heard nothing about this movie, so had nothing but my own thoughts to watch along with me.
The little girl in the movie is such a brilliant little actor (the boy playing her brother not so much)
Then I watched this movie with my 13yr old daughter (who some times likes a break from scary movies). I always know she likes a movie when she decides to take it to bed with her to watch again.
Very enjoyable, good family fun.
This is one of the better family films we have seen for some time - all the family enjoyed it! Reading some of the reviews I was a little concerned that the kids may not find it interesting - I needn't have worried - they were gripped from start to finish. Great stuff!
Initially i thought this was one of them films where some genius has tricked me into renting it but instead it turned out to be ok.
This film was a good film overall but it lacked any energy to make you believe in the characters or why the kids do what they do.
The storyline was excellent and original but the it's a shame that the budget for it wasn't that great because this had the potential to be a much greater kid grabber and possible film 'keeper' but instead it is let down by shoddy acting and a poor script. I also think a better director would have made something more of it.
Dissapointing that it didn't do well but not surprised due to the final product.
sir
This film is worth a watch, great for the kids and adults.
A little girl finds a rabbit sent back in time, which was sent to save the people in the future.
There is nothing complicated about following this storyline and your not left wondering what it was all about, like alot of films out recently.
It's a film where all the family can sit together and enjoy a film with each other, great for a family night in.
Let's hope there isn't going to be a 'The Last Mimzy 2' because this was boring. If that Mimzy comes back I'll put it in the trash myself! The kids left after 10 minutes, and I had to force myself to sit until the end. Ok, the CGI bits are ok, but nothing special, and certainly not enough to keep a kid hooked. The story line is way too predictable and annoyingly slow. One to avoid.
This film thrilled a group of children aged 10 to 12. Younger would be fine too. Its unusual, storywise; you need to pick up the plot line at the beginning, but even if not, it's adventurous at the same time as whimsical. The special effects are excellent, the child actors supreb, and there's enough subtle comedy to keep it rolling along beautifully.
Another good childrens film. Quite different and original and quite different from films such as Harry Potter and The Chronicles of Narnia, but another good warm hearted family film which kids of various ages should enjoy. Some nice special effects and well acted, kids were great especially the little girl and a nice link to Alice Through The Looking Glass. Worth watching
