Flash Movie Review: Super 8

Dec 8

Posted by

If you take the wonder from E.T., mix it with the excitement from Jaws, you would then get this exciting movie.  What a simple, pure filmed movie that is fun to watch. For me, this film showed Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Entertainment production company coming full circle, in creating a story driven movie with innocent kids becoming involved in extraordinary events. A group of friends, making a movie by the local train station, happen to catch a horrific train crash on film and discover something is not right. Have I piqued your interest? I hope so.  Another revelation was seeing Elle Fanning acting and looking the part so well. I believe she will have a long career in the movies. And I have to admit, I found it cute having her character being  the female lead for the group’s film. When you want to just sit back and watch a movie for the sheer joy of it, this is one movie you certainly want to experience.

 

3 stars — DVD

From a long line of movie afficionados, one brother was the #1 renter of movies in the country with Blockbuster, I am following in the same traditions that came before me. To balance out the long hours seated in dark movie theaters, I also teach yoga and cycling. For the past 3 years, I have correctly picked the major Oscar winners... so join me as we explore the wonder of movies and search for that perfect 4 star movie.

    I watched this film with a friend at the theater when it was released during the summer. Both of us are sci-fi/fantasy fans, so we entered the theater falling victim to the hype. I really enjoyed Super 8, but I thought the ending wrapped up too quick and conveniently. I posted a review on my blog after seeing it. I shared more of my thoughts over there.
