Mimic makes a noble attempt to be Alien's successor. Shoddy visual effects and an overall lack of tension prevent that from becoming reality. Guillermo del Toro has an especially difficult time establishing space, a rather deadly shortcoming in a creature feature that spends most of its runtime confined to the claustrophobic subways of Manhattan. This is nevertheless fun, particularly in some of the surprising kills like when one of the monsters kills a couple small children. Mira Sorvino's desire to channel Sigourney Weaver fails, but it's oh so fun watching her try. Kudos to the sound designer.
