This is a very good family movie. Kids from ages 5 -12 will enjoy this one. I've read comparisons to E.T., but this movie doesn't come close to being as good. The kids are really the stars of the movie. There are moments of poor dialog and the ending is the worst part. Felt as if, "Ok, we gave you your 90 min worth, lets wrap it up and get out of here" type of ending. Other than that, an enjoyable movie.
If you are looking for a family movie this Easter weekend (and there many currently out), this is one to consider.
"Two children discover a mysterious box that contains some strange devices they think are toys. As the children play with these toys, they begin to display higher and higher intelligence levels. Their teacher tells their parents that they seem to have grown beyond genius. Their parents, too, realize something extraordinary is happening. Emma, the younger of the two, tells her confused mother that one of the toys, a beat-up stuffed toy rabbit, is named Mimzy and that she teaches me things. As Emma's mom becomes increasingly concerned, a blackout shuts down the city and the government traces the source of the power surge to Emma's family's house. Things quickly spin wildly out of their control. The children are focused on these strange objects, Mimzy, and the important mission on which they seem to have been sent. When the little girl says that Mimzy contains a most serious message from the future, a scientific scan shows that Mimzy is part extremely high level electronic, and part organic! Everyone realizes that they are involved in something incredible--but exactly what?"
