Stand By ME.T.

Rating: 7/10 (10 June 2011)

I have been a sci-fi fan since I first laid eyes on a guy in an alien suit. But, it has been a few years since the genre really felt alive to me. These days, the genre has either forgetting it's roots or tried to hard to push the limits of CGI. Super 8, is the savior I have been waiting for.
Super 8 is a truly amazing experience and to say that is a blend of many 80's kids Sci-Fi films is definitely an accurate speculation. However, I feel that the strongest comparison would be E.T. meets Stand By Me. The film has many memorable parts and to spoil them would be a crime so just trust me when I say that it is worth all time and money that you will spend to see it.
Finally, watch out for the train scene because it will send your hearing in to a panic. For you Universal monster fans, keep an eye out for a Creature From The Black Lagoon action figure. Lastly, stay for the credits to see the kids movie and a fun little reference to the king of zombie cinema.
