Mimic started really well, with lots of imagery and an altogether brooding atmosphere. The introduction of the characters was very human, and it was going really well, and there was a notable European influence on the proceedings. Now, I believe this was based on a short story, and it seemed obvious to me that the short story stopped about an hour into the film, because that is where the story became derivative and exactly the same as every other Hollywood movie ie 'How are we going to escape?''I'll go''No, I'll go'I can't go, I'm petrified''I'm injured''Kerpow kersplat'. It was such a disappointing end to a promising start. I would actually rate this film a 9 or 10 if it had been just the first half, but seeing how the second half was barely worthy of a 2, my overall mark has to go down a little accordingly.
In Summary: Nearly quite good.
