No clue what it was going in, and fully entertained after watching

Rating: 9/10 (26 June 2011)

For the most part, I had no clue what this movie was about or even who was in it before going in the theater. I can honestly say that I was completely entertained and felt it was one of the better movies I had seen in the past couple of years. It has humor, suspense, drama, and action. It gave me a sense of nostalgia for the movies I watched as a kid. I love the ways that Abrams pays homage to Spielberg in his compilation that is Super 8.
If you enjoyed classic films such as: The Goonies, Stand By Me, Jaws, and Close Encounters Of The Third Kind, then I know you will enjoy this movie.
Just go for the ride, don't think too much and have a good time!
