Mimic 2

Imitative and unimaginative sequel (read remake) of Guillermo Del Toro's unique theatrical treatment of Donald A.Wollheim's short story "Mimic" is a direct-to-DVD movie, with performances to match. The central character is, for all intents and purposes, identical to that of the autistic child in the first film, here portrayed as a vulnerable, mistreated, misunderstood entomological enthusiast who daylights as a primary school teacher. Her curiosity with the insect world leads both her and a pair of hard case students into a night of terror, relentlessly hunted by the mutated Judas bug, fresh from feasting on her romantic rejections and primed to propagate the species.

The characterisations are formula driven and predictable, each with their own cross to bare and point to prove. Uber-cool cop Bruno Campos looks a little young for the hard-nosed, toothpick chewing detective, while all the other ancillary characters are basic stereotypes each with two scenes, one in which involves their obligatory demise. Even the appearance of veteran movie tough guy, the late Edward Albert isn't enough to redeem this inferior sequel.

Not always coherent "Mimic 2" begins when a running man's death leaves a suitcase full of the deadly genetic mutations, that gradually infiltrate the population. The film moves at such break-neck speed, that there's never any explanation for suitcase, nor much context around the central character's peculiar habit of taking photographs of herself, following traumatic experiences (an intriguing premise, it turned into a thematic cul-de-sac, simply abandoned without elaboration). Ultimately, at 79 minutes short, the plot holes are all consuming and the overall result is disappointing.

Alix Koromzay was a supporting character in the Guillermo del Toro original film and is the only returning character in this direct-to-video sequel. The sequel is also minus del Toro as director or co-writer, as well as fellow co-writer Matthew Robbins. Still, this sequel isn't that bad and has a reasonably similar feel to the original film, even if it's lacking the visual style of del Toro or the more clever of plot, which here involves the lab creates bugs sent out to kill the giant bugs from the first film have now evolved and pose a threat to humans themselves, having mutated into human form. Nothing great, but alright for doing some work while half watching the film.

This movie was so dumb. I liked the first Mimic so I naturally assumed that I'd like the second one too. Boy was I wrong. This movie was lame and completely sucked!! The only thing that kept me from changing the channel was Nicky (Will Estes) he's HOT!!! He's a great actor who just got stuck playing a crappy part in an even crappier movie.

This is unfortunately a collection of movie cliches. Its not the fault of the actors who I think, given the benefit of the doubt, are doing their best with a bad script. The direction however isn't bad and so are the special effects but the overall result is very lacking in the deserving aspect especially in comparison to its predecessor. I could go deeper but I don't feel its really worth it. Its not bad, its not good. If you have nothing else to do and don't mind watching a very dispensable movie, their sure is worst out there.

This movie was worst than the first Mimic movie. First of all the plot of the movie is pretty bad. It's about a cockroach race that has come back to haunt the people of New York.

Remy(alix koromzay) an elementary school teacher, is the main character of the movie, she teaches a children biology. Klaskin(Bruno Campos) plays the detective, who tries to find out the mysterious murderer incidents. In the beginning of the movie, the story already falls apart. We don't even know where the cockroaches even come from. The story isn't good at all and the effects are typical. There's even a scene that seems to copy a part of a movie from every bug movie ever made IE Ticks. Believe me this movie is not worth to watch. 82 min is not worth it to waste your day. Rent the first mimic at least the acting and the scenes are much better.
