Storyline

The siblings Noah and Emma travel with their mother Jo from Seattle to the family cottage in Whidbey Island to spend a couple of days while their workaholic father David Wilder is working. They find a box of toys from the future in the water and bring it home, and Emma finds a stuffed rabbit called Mimzy, and stones and a weird object, but they hide their findings from their parents. Mimzy talks telepathically to Emma and the siblings develop special abilities, increasing their intelligences to the level of genius. Their father becomes very proud when Noah presents a magnificent design in the fair of science and technology, and his teacher Larry White and his mystic wife Naomi Schwartz become interested in the boy when he draws a mandala. When Noah accidentally assembles the objects and activates a powerful generator creating a blackout in the state, the FBI arrests the family trying to disclose the mystery. But Emma unravels the importance to send Mimzy back to the future. Written by Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Trivia

When Noah first controls a spider at the beach house (at 19:30), director Robert Shaye mentions in the commentary that Visual Effects Supervisor Eric Durst "got hold of the special effects house in Australia that did all of the visual effects for Charlotte's Web - they happened to have the computer program for making spiders crawling on webs."

Goofs

Factual errors: Early in the movie, the science teacher Larry White (Rainn Wilson) tells his class that James D. Watson and Francis Crick "cracked" the genetic code. This is untrue. While Watson and Crick's discovery of the double-helical structure of DNA helped explain how genes were replicated during cellular or viral reproduction, Marshall Nirenberg, Har Gobind Khorana, and Robert Holley actually did the research that correctly interpreted the genetic code, for which these three scientists received the 1968 Nobel Prize in Physiology and/or Medicine.
