It's a Super 8 out of 10 from me.

Rating: 8/10 (31 July 2015)

Wow, I'm really impressed with this movie, Super 8 was made as a throwback to the type of movies that were originally made by Steven Spielberg such as E.T. and Close Encounters of the Third Kind which by the way Spielberg himself was in fact one of the producers for this movie. The only thing I'm still rather confused about is what actually happened to Joe's mother when she died at the start, some kind of work related accident and they never really explain what she worked as and how it happened, I don't know.
Apart from that, the rest of the movie is amazing, it has lots of edge of your seat trills and some really cool action scenes. It's well worth the watch.
