Back in time

Rating: 7/10 (25 June 2011)

Super 8 really brings you back to the 70's such as music, lifestyle. The monster part of the movie made me think of those double bills from the 50's with a monster from another planet and the army trying to dominate it. I liked the friendship between the young kids, their enthusiasm about film making and their courage to stand up against the monster. The monster from outer space landed in 1957 or 1958. It was just trying to go back home, but the army stopped its efforts. The army wanted to do experiments on the creature, so that they could learn more about how it ticks. Professor or Dr. Woodward was just trying to help the creature get back home. He understood what the monster from outer space was going through.
