The Last Mimzy

By director Robert Shaye

This exiting movie is about a girl named Emma and her brother Noah, who, one day at their beach house, find a strange box on the beach. When they open it, they find many strange "toys" that give them powers. In it Emma finds a bunny doll that talks to her and teaches her how to dissolve her hand, float and mind speak, terrifying their parents and teachers.When Noah accidentally fuses two of the "toys" and causes a blackout over half the state of Washington, it alerts the FBI. They and their parents get held in custody for terrorism, where Emma shows them her skills. How will they get out and send Mimzy back to where she came from? What will happen to their family?

I enjoyed this movie because of the drama and the imagination.

Can she retrieve her carousel, or is Angel really that bad?
