Super 8

Steven Spielberg likes to make us JUMP! If you've seen even the trailer for this movie, that notion has been reconfirmed for you.

The mystery unfolds in the summer of 1979, in a small town where there is a group of young teens who are in the process of making their own movie. These kids are so immersed in their desire to make a good movie, they break the rules and sneak out at night to film a critical scene at a local abandoned train station where they witness one of the most rare occurrences in railway history...and they catch it all on film.

Although one of the main characters has a bad habit of swearing like a sailor, it really fits the part, and let's face it, teenagers curse. But, there is really only ONE F-bomb in the whole movie...they were not aiming to be offensive, just to be true characters. Joel Courtney did a great job as the main character, full of heart and compassion. He is adorable! And Elle Fanning is really making a name for herself...she did a great job!

I watched this movie on the IMAX screen with LOUD volume and I think it made the movie even better. I'm not sure if I would like Super 8 as a rental....unless I had a theater room ;)

My advice: GO SEE THIS MOVIE AT IMAX!
