Genre: Adventure/FamilyDirected by Robert Shaye. Written by Bruce Joel Rubin and Toby Emmerich.
Starring Rhiannon Leigh Wryn, Rainn Wilson.
This movie preaches the old "pay attention to your kids" lesson with a story that includes the grown-ups being wrong. It's made clear that the parents don't pay a lot of attention to their kids when they bring strange rocks and stuffed bunnies home, claiming they can hear voices. The story quickly transitions into a parent-child war in which Emma (Wryn) and her brother Noah are left with the last key to saving the human race.
The first scene of the movie includes a series of extreme-long shots at a beach by the family's cabin. Later on, Emma discovers her new-found bunny, Mimzy, can speak and make her do things. As soon as she and Noah, who has also acquired a few supernatural talents, are discovered by their parents, they're carried off to a top-secret science lab. The kids sneak out of the cells they were placed in and steal a truck, headed for the source of the problem they need to solve. They're picked up by a supportive science teacher who ends up defending them when the "magic" is at its most powerful. At the end there's a feeling of relief when their task to save artificial life is completed, guaranteeing a safe future.
