Rated 3 out of 5 stars
Not worth the effort
This version of Mimic was Del Toro's attempt to reclaim his film after the studio didn't give him final cut. While this may be an improvement over previous versions, it doesn't save Mimic from being an extremely weak entry in Del Toro's resume. Unless you are obsessed with everything that Del Toro has made, skip this and watch one of his superior films like Cronos, Devil's Backbone, Shape of Water, or Pan's Labyrinth.

Great sci-fi fun
When I first saw this after it came out, I had no idea who Guillermo Del Toro was, but I could tell that the director knew what they were doing. Although the plot is a little silly, the direction is handled masterfully, making for an entertaining and sometimes frightening experience. The bluray transfer really brings out the beauty in some of the shots.

Fantastic image and sound
One of those wonderful films that is somewhat forgotten. This bluray edition is splendid. While the director's cut component is not as extensive as other releases like Hellboy, the image and sound are absolutely fantastic, and if you are a fan of the film it makes this worth the cost.
