Not that good

Rating: 3/10 (18 June 2011)

The story drug on and on. I felt like leaving because I was so bored. There was little to no action is in most of the film. Movie makes factual error stating that Brookville is in a different county. It's an over-glorified remake of Hangar 18. It's a real disappointment for a Spielberg movie. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was more exciting than Super 8. The special effects were also lacking. Aside from the train crash, there aren't a whole lot of special effects in this movie. I'm not sure what the critics saw in this movie to dub it a classic. There's nothing special about it. It doesn't stand out like ET or even Gremlins. In fact for a sci-fi movie it's very cliché.
