The Last Mimzy

[MysString]

I found this film charmingly intellectual. I'm not exactly certain why it was geared so much towards family audiences. Sure, it's family-friendly. But if I hadn't been occupied with some of the deeper ideas during the duller parts of the film, I would have been bored silly. It's hard for me to believe that family audiences would have caught as many of the philosophical points as I did. Either way, I thought it was good. Anyone else seen it?

While I wouldn't put it at the top of favorite movies, I definately enjoyed it enough to watch again.

That movie had some very wicked product placement.

Yeah. I definitely noticed the Intel logo, which was rather shameful, considering it was supposed to be so far into the future.

I couldn't stand it. And I generally LIKE intellectual sci-fi movies. The part at the end was creepy to me.

The kid's spiderweb creation was cool though.

But it was also the way Intel was part of the story.

I enjoyed the movie, overall, but the way Intel was used was completely unnecessary.

Don't get me wrong, I actually enjoy product placement in movies -- they bring in an element of realism -- but they shouldn't be a major part of the story.

Love it. Bought it. :)

Yes I'm a dork I know. I like intelligent movies. Those are hard to come by these days. It was a bit to advanced for the audience it was aimed at thought...being that the previews made it seem like a cute little story about a cute little bunny.

I didn't really notice how far Intel had been worked into the storyline. I was kind of preoccupied with the fact that Brian Greene played the scientist guy. I thought his character was, you know, a regular scientist, but no! He was an "Intel scientist." Yeah, that's just wrong. Shame on Brian Greene! He's a media whore.

If you think about it, how would Intel get the rights to send those machine rabbits back in time like that? There would have to be some sort of government intervention, especially considering the paramount task that the rabbits were undertaking.
