With the title based on the motion picture film format of the same name, the movie tells the story of a group of kids whom attempt to film their own Super 8 movie. However, when a train derails from it's track whilst the children were filming, an atmosphere of unpleasantness creeps up to the innocent town of Lillian, Ohio accompanied by many unsolved mysteries and awkward supernatural events that will sure make your spine shiver.
Besides the components I have already mentioned previously about this movie, I thought that the character development was very well compacted (the children, in particular). I have also noticed that JJ Abrams also adds a few techniques in this movie that Spielberg does to his. For example, in Super 8, the creature causing a calamity in the town is not shown fully at first. However, as the story uncurls, the creature is shown in "bits" until the very end of the movie when it is finally exposed to the audience his appearance. This technique was the same one Spielberg has used in Jaws and it is a great form of adding suspense to the audience since they have no clue of what the creature looks like and keep on wondering from the beginning until the end of the film when he is finally revealed to the public. The movie also has a diverse amount of genres in it which is good because it doesn't only focus on one point throughout the entire story.
In an overall, Super 8 was worth my money and if you haven't watched it yet, you should try renting it that I'm sure you won't regret it! It is a movie you could basically watch with anyone you like since the film consists of a variety of comedy, romance, suspense, friendship, family relationships and most importantly, ADVENTURE! At first I was thinking twice of whether I should watch this or not, but my step brother was pretty convincing when he told me I should watch this. All I can say that thanks to him, this has become one of my favorite movies of all time!
