The story grows increasingly convoluted as it throws more and more against the wall to see what will stick. Why is so much time spent on this subplot?) None of the laws of this universe are clearly established and the importance of one power over the other is never defined. For example, Noah can create noises that control the movement of spiders Emma has the power of telekinesis and can also penetrate an inter-dimensional nexus created by the spinning rocks from their new "toy box." (There's also Larry's prophetic dreams, which only serves to confuse matters more. It is overstuffed with everything from futuristic technology to psychic powers to Eastern mysticism to Lewis Carroll, with the links between them proving nebulous at best. As the gravity of the situation becomes evident, the meaning of Mimzy's mission remains unclear. The Feds (led by Duncan) take the family into custody, but are as baffled as the Wilders are by these "toys." The Feds' scan of Mimzy shows that it is composed of highly advanced electronics well beyond human ability and is partially organic as well. When a blackout shuts down their hometown of Seattle, the government traces the source of the power surge to the Wilder home. She says its name is Mimzy and that she brings with her a grave message from the future. Furthermore, Emma claims that one of the devices, an old stuffed toy rabbit, is communicating with her. The siblings' science teacher Larry White (Wilson) advises their parents David and Jo (Hutton and Richardson, respectively) that they have suddenly grown beyond genius level. The box contains strange devices they think are toys after playing with them, however, Noah and Emma begin to display increasingly higher intelligence levels. The Last Mimzy follows young siblings Noah and Emma Wilder (O'Neil and Wryn, respectively) who discover a mysterious box washed up on the beach of their family's summer home. The film stars Timothy Hutton, Joely Richardson, Rainn Wilson, Michael Clarke Duncan and newcomers Chris O'Neil and Rhiannon Leigh Wryn. Based on Lewis Padgett's short story Mimsy Were the Borogoves, The Last Mimzy was directed by New Line Cinema honcho Robert Shaye, whose last directorial effort was 1990's Book of Love.
