Sometimes a movie should just be fun. Super fun

Rating: 8/10 (15 June 2011)

This film was a lot of fun. I don't know if it matters if you see it on the IMAX screen but I did and I loved it. The train wreck scene on IMAX was incredible. To me this movie is a B+. It may not be the next E.T. but it certainly has a lot of entertainment value to it. If I had any complaints it would be with the ending but even that doesn't ruin this movie also I don't think this is a movie for very young children. There is some dirty language and a few scenes that are a bit too dark for the very young but the film is rated PG13. This is not the best movie ever but it's pretty damn good. It's worth the price of the ticket. Very well acted by the young cast of virtual unknowns. It has lots of jumps and surprises at certain points and is lighthearted at other time. I can't speak for everyone but I saw it opening weekend and the theater that I was at was packed and no one walked out during the film. The most common review that I have read and agree with about Super 8 is that this isa great summer movie. Get the popcorn and grab a seat.
