Super 8 is superb!!!

Rating: 9/10 (16 June 2011)

I just watched it this afternoon!It surpassed my expectations which was heightened by the trailer. The trailer made me curious as to whether this was a sci-fi movie or a monster flick. There might be a lot of holes in the storyline but cinematic-ally the script was awesome as it kept me riveted to my seat. J J Abrams is turning into one of the greats of the cinematic medium. The concept/premise of the movie is nothing new but its the treatment that makes it such a delight.
We have a bunch of youngsters who are student filmmakers. While shooting a scene from their "zombie flick" they witness a train crash(that much you might have garnered from the trailer). The rest i leave it for you to watch as i might give away the storyline...
The strength of the movie is the young cast who puts in a superb performance..I loved them especially because most of them are completely unknown and fresh. That made them totally believable. We all know the Fannings can act. This movie has something in it for both teenagers as well as adults. The teen romance, loss of loved one, horrifying disappearances, military cover up...the list goes on. Its a good film to study if you are a budding script writer. Its teaches you how to write a movie that satisfies everyone.
Anyway...Its one hell of a popcorn flick.. I assure you..your wont repent watching it..Go watch it.
