Based on a loosely adapted 1943 science fiction short story "Mimsy Were the Borogoves" by Lewis Padgett, the film is a nice mix of mystery combined with the unexplainable forces that empower two children in ways that could turn out badly. Fortunately, the plot evolves toward the light. The small stuffed rabbit Mimzy turns out to be a voyger from the future trying to save humanity from itself. It is a tale that can enterain adults as well as children and is sutible for family viewing. The visual effects are restrained by moden standards and the film derives its punch the old fashioned way - by good story-telling.

The movie itself is a lot of fun. Here's a bit of heresy: I like the movie's positive ending better than the Lewis Padgett original short story's rather negative ending. The only problem is being able to play this DVD. My new Sony Blu-ray player won't play it all, giving an error message that it is the wrong type of disc (?!) My DVD player plays it with lots of hangings and skippings. My computer plays it beautifully but does not allow any of the special features beyond subtitles and language selection! I've had other copies of this disc both new and rentals with identical results. Apparently the InfiniFilm process is too smart/advanced for mere home theaters, no matter how upscale. No wonder it is not used elsewhere. Perhaps it should be renamed IffyFilm?

This is a wonderfully entertaining movie. Sorry to say though, that the widescreen version is a poor hack of the original. I've compared the original to the widescreen version and noted that though the widescreen shows more picture detail in the horizontal, it chops off picture detail from the vertical. Invariably, the vertical detail lost was of far more interest and significance to the story than the horizontal detail gained.

the content of the movie is based upon a knowledge we don't currently understand but that does exist. i have watched it at least 40 times. and will watch another 40. this should be required veiwing to help us all understand the mysteries of our universe. it may be considered fictional but i would like to think of it as a new reality. the laws of physics as we know, are changing. there are many new realities that need investigating. such as presented in the movie. i strongly recommend this movie. it will make you think.
This is the type of movie where parents can sit down with their young children and relax. Even though it contains several possible meassages, none of them were powerful enough to distract from the basic storyline. Hints throughout leed to the revelation that humans need each other and they have more potential then the sum of their poccessions. You have to be careful though, the incomplete business of the script makes it hard to read. Don't expect to understand it, or for it to make any real sense. The writers wrote it for young children using a level of understanding that was distinctly that of young children.
