Has anyone seen The Last Mimzy? Does it have demonic influence or magical forces?

I haven't seen it yet, but by the previews, I thought it was about 2 kids that find an object from the future that helps them save the world. If you've seen the movie, does it have demonic influence such as magic? I'm asking because I want to take my 3-yr old, but think she may be scared.

    The original story definitely had NOTHING about demonic influences. The movie is supposed to be a slightly up-dated and revised telling of a great science fiction story by Henry Kuttner, C.L. Moore's husband using the alias "Lewis Padgett." It's a short story called "Mimsy Were the Borogoves." It's worth reading, trust me! Excellent story. ...

    The movie has wonderful special effects. I think the kids will like it. I know people who saw it with their kids and liked it.

    Yes it was a science fiction story and although it's more of a kids' movie the way it's being portrayed in the film, it be interesting to see if the movie does the original story justice.

    Basically the original story was about 2 kids who find toys that are from the future, some scientist tinkering with a time travel machine had sent them back as an expirement in the story. He wasn't trying to deliberately change history, he just wanted to see if he could send something and his kids' old toys were handy. Anyway, the children who find them are changed by them, made smarter. When they read ALICE IN WONDERLAND and the works of Lewis Carroll, the kids find an important clue in "Mimsy Were the Borogroves" that lets them tap into a new form of power.

    The film has no magic or supernatural storylines. The point of the film is that humanity is responsible for its own fate. I doubt that she would understand much of it. Plus, there are moments that are probably a bit too intense for a 3-year old. I'd wait a few years.
