Review of Super 8 (2011) by Douglas B — 05 Jan 2013
J.J. Abrams' exciting, affectionate tribute to films made by Steven Spielberg like E.T., Close Encounters, and The Goonies, about a group of friends who witness a train wreck while filming a home movie.
They eventually discover that the cause of the accident is also the reason for many weird disappearances and events that have been taking place in their town. What makes Super 8 well worth seeing is for its emotionally rich characters, particularly the ones played by Elle Fanning and Joel Courtney.
In fact, the humans are more compelling than the actual creatures causing the unusual events.
