A Sci-Fi Goonies

Rating: 8/10 (14 June 2020)

The child actors are fantastic in Super 8. I've seen the movie several times, and I'm always blown away at how great every one of them performs.
There's a magical quality to the movie. It does a great job of capturing the lives and emotions these kids are going through. The adventure they undertake is a great mystery that slowly unveils itself throughout the story. Several reviewers hate the ending, but I thought everything worked.
The movie is filled with a sense of innocence and wonder in the face of some truly scary scenes.
The end-credits, and the accompanying video, are pure joy!
