Summary: Return of the Judas Breed
Review: A school teacher is having trouble with men and giant cockroaches. There are a few scenes designed to make us believe she is the entomologist from the first movie (her book and she says "we created them"). The bugs have targeted her. Maybe because she beat them before or maybe just because she smells good.Any man who comes near her becomes the target of a lone soldier that is trying to fulfil its life purpose of protecting its queen. This causes a run in with the police as well as allows the military to get wind of the situation. Military, police and school teacher converge to end the final threat from the Judas Breed. The ending is creepy and needs to be seen (I won't spoil it). Much different in style and feel than the original. No infestation, just a lone bug doing its best. Check it out.

Summary: A Natural-Born Killer Bug Strikes Back in B-Movie Mode
Review: Five years after the success of original "Mimic," Demention Films brought back again the same bug-monster, but with a different cast. In place of Mira Sorvino, who played the main character of entomologist Susan Tyler, Alix Kromozay re-appears as Remi, who briefly showed up as Susan's assistant. If you remember her role in the original, you have a terrific memory. The story is basically the same. Remi is now working at a school, teaching kids about the insects she seems to love more than humans, especially annoying guys, who literally keep on bugging poor Remi after her unfortunate dates with them. Thus the sequel streches Remi's character, who actually vanishes in the second half of the original, but showed a glimpse of promising touch of more lively characterization. But I never dreamed that they stretch the premise that much! Yes, Remi was unlucky in love five years ago, and took a picture of her own face after being treated badly by men. But now it seems she collected many, many relics of her failed dates (see her closet full of photoes), and she is about to experience the most awful date with a bug, a big deadly bug, which apparently has became a stalker like a human. The sequel would not look ridiculous if you ignore the logic of the monster which literally keeps on bugging the leading lady. There are some creepy moments (like a body dragged virtically upward) but the real surprise is the lead Alix Kromzay. Her acting as Remy shows, despite its silly premises and diaglogue, enough strong power to carry the whole show to the end, with unexpected wry humor and even sexiness. Though the film displays the good use of lighting and rain, its ending part looks too outrageous -- it is suggested that the bug-monster is trying to adore her and ... make love (no way!) while stabbiing Alix Kromzay's character -- and the choice of school as bug-infected nest is not a wise decision, compared with the more realistic image of underground world of deserted subway in the original "Mimic," but, the sequel should be called, considering its $ 10m. budget, adequate. Little special effects and short running time is a dead giveaway of the low budget backgorund of the film. However, within those limited conditions, it ends up with a slightly better monster horror flick, probably better than average TV movies you see on cable TV, if not on the same height of the original. Whatever it is, "Mimic 2" is, I assure you, better than pointless "Spieces 2" or plain awful "The Hidden 2." If that means something to you.

Summary: Fun low-budget sequel
Review: I found this movie was much better than expected. But you've got to take it for what it is, a genre b-movie.
Ok, so maybe the police detective character is a tired cliché played by an uninspired actor, and maybe the heroine is a bit too weird (the emotional photo-collage thing), and the movie could have benefited of a bigger budget. But still, the plot's main gimmick is inventive and works, overall entertaining, with some slightly scary moments, and the visual effects are good.
I don't know, I had fun watching it and didn't feel insulted. To give you some reference, I think 'Species 2' is a laughably bad sequel, and I find the original 'Species' very overrated. So I guess I don't fall for every sci-fi movie out there.
The dvd is anamorphic widescreen.

Summary: Let's hope they don't go for a Mimic three...
Review: I had high hopes at the beginning of this movie, it was funny and creative but as it went on it turned into a predictable cliche of a film...I have seen worse movies but this really isn't worth renting.

Summary: Okay....It was kind of stupid
Review: I really like the first Mimic movie. When I seen there was a sequel I was interested in seeing where the movie makers would take the story next. Yet, this was pretty ridiculous. A minor character from the first movie returns as a hip, cool teacher in the Bronx. Her love life sucks and she has more respect and admiration for bugs then she does for men. She also has a tendency to date some really horrible characters. Well she is definitely in for a suprise because her next date is guaranteed to be worse. Apparently, a bug from the Judus experiment is loose in the school where she works and it has taken a liken to the bug lady. It has choosen this lucky girl to be the mother of his larva (or larvae...whatever!) With the help of a cop who is hot on the scent! They attempt to defeat the mimic. Now seriously....the problem I had with this movie was it didn't explain itself like the first Mimic. In this techno-science age it was plausible (almost) to believe that a mutant bug could be created that would have the ability to mimic human beings, their greatest predator. There was some believablity there, but this movie doesn't even explain why a bug would suddenly decide that a human woman is the perfect host for his children. I was left wondering at the end of the film what was really going on with the bug. Then they took it to the next level at the end and attempted to portray that the bug actually had some kind of affection for the lady in question. It was just too implausible. Overall...the film was horrible. It doesn't suprise me that the flick went straight to video.
