disappointing, but a perfect brainless flick for a Sunday

Rating: 5/10 (14 August 2011)

I went out to see "Super 8" in the local cinema today, a Sunday, with the boys. All hung over from last night and really not feeling like leaving the house at all we decided to go anyway because the trailer, the fact that it was a Steven Spielberg produced film and the current IMDb rating (a 7,6) created some good expectations.
However, this movie shows that having a fairly big budget and a famous mainstream block buster producer not necessarily is a guarantee for an epic production. The annoyingly poor use of after effects, the constantly over analyzing teen cast, the dull dialogs, and the boring, mood swing having, evil creature really made me want to go to my bed to have a nice lucid dream instead.
The story line did not at all satisfy me enough to be excited about what would happen at the end of this movie, basically i was just struggling to stay awake.
