Good old times

Rating: 8/10 (6 August 2011)

Well J. J. Abrams has done it again. He always keeps a fast pace in his movies and time flies while we're lost in the journey till the end. Super 8 resembles Spielbergs ET in many ways. But it is done with a whole new plot, more action like, suited for fast pace movies nowadays.
This movie is perfect for kids, family. Friendship, the girl next door, action, an alien and letting go. More meaning in this flick than you mind find at first glance.
The acting is great, all solid performances from a mostly unknown cast. The only problem I had with it is that it did not explain a whole lot of things, but I guess too much info could ruin the whole experience.
Good fun movie for the family on a Saturday night. Recommend it.
Cheers
