Review : Super 8 (***1/2)

 
Super 8 is the new movie from director J.J. Abrams, and Executive Producer Steven Spielberg. It’s about Joe (Joel Courtney) who lives with his widowed father (Kyle Chandler). His father wants him to hang out with normal kids instead of making monster movies with his friends Charles (Riley Griffiths), Alice (Elle Fanning), Cary (Ryan Lee), Martin (Gabriel Basso), and Preston (Zach Mills). One night they are shooting the movie at an abandoned  train station where a pick up truck and the train collide. They realize that there is an alien in one of the carboxes, the military is notified and evacuations are underway, the kids on the other hand try to find and defeat this thing.
              Overall there are twists and turns in this film some you may not even expect. Super 8 is nothing like ET but is still a great film. I recommend it.
