First of all, I went into this movie not knowing much about it.
I only saw the trailer once or twice- the whole concept of the
movie I found interesting. So, I went to see it.
Story: The story is great, it's about two kids who find a box of toys from the future. One of these toys is a stuffed rabbit, Mimzy. Mimzy warns that the people of the future are sick. Our two main characters must find a way to help her. It's presented in very realistic way - even though the plot is very weird. It combines science, religion quite well, in a logic vs fantasy conflict... I think. I read that some complaint that the movie is dragged out... is not. The slow plot makes the atmosphere of the movie all more ominous and magical. It's 70% style and 30% substance.
Visuals: Not much. But when it comes to the weird close ups and amazing CGI effects, it's quite a treat. Not Oscar worthy stuff, but it very cool.
Audio: I loved the sound effects. Which made the movie stand out, the music was flat and un-original, but the weird and funky sound effects made up for it . Mimzy's cute rabbit talk voice rivals over the voice of Mogwai from GREMLINS. Creepy, but adorable at the same time!
