Nostalgia for the midlifer

Rating: 8/10 (12 August 2011)

Cloverfield meets Stephen King's It... granted... but I quite enjoyed the movie J.J. Abrams served us, maybe because my expectations weren't so high. Clearly you could see Stephen Spielberg's influence seeping through, but I wasn't bothered by this, because after all; it has been a while when we saw something good coming from him.
Also it was wonderful to see all those little things I had forgotten about coming back to me, like the first time when the walkman with headphones came out to the public or when films/photos still needed to be developed in a store. Of course this has to do with my age, but these kinda things brought me right back to my own childhood and that's probably also the reason why this movie hit me on personal note I guess.
All in all nostalgia for the ones who lived and seen the period before the digital age. 8/10
Don't forget to watch the credits too!
