Matthew Bujnoch lovedSuper 8I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. It is a mystery-thriller that keeps you guessing throughout. It kind of feels like stranger things in a way. I feel like the duffer brothers took some elements of this movie for stranger things. The cinematography was incredible. Highly recommend.
grace lovedSuper 8i watched it when i was near the same age of the main characters in the film and i felt like it was very realistic to how they would act (aside from saving their town lol). really funny and amazing acting all around. the plot was incredible & is just a great alien film
Jen Trimble is "meh" onSuper 8It was okay. It was an interesting premise and I liked the child actors quite a bit. The train crash was ridiculous - were the cars made out of pure gasoline? I wish they had gone into more depth with the connections made with the creature too. Overall, it was okay.

Super 8 takes its place among the best B-grade science fiction movies of this generation by copying the best of the past 50 years.

The timing couldn't be more opportunistic for a new Steven Spielberg movie that mines the thrilling uncertainties of childhood - even if it happens to have been made by J.J. Abrams.
