Super 8 (2011): During the summer of 1979, a group of friends witness a train crash and investigate subsequent unexplained events in their small town. (7.2)
Director: J.J. Abrams
Writer: J.J. Abrams
Stars: Elle Fanning, Amanda Michalka and Kyle Chandler
Um, yeah, like most reviewers have mentioned, I expected more from the JJ Abrams+Spielberg combo and the marketing machine; but I should have known better. This is just a tribute movie with parts from ET, Goonies, Jaws, etc thrown in together. The original concept of accidentally recording something on film, while not unique, intriguing; and they should have stuck with that + a simple story rather than bringing in alien crash landings, monsters, etc. Special effects don't make a movie. The most important part is the story. The kid actors are good. They deserved a better storyline. My Rating: 6.0
