Overview - In late 1970s Ohio, a group of friends filming a homemade zombie movie witness a devastating train derailment. Soon after, their quiet town is gripped by unexplained disappearances, strange phenomena, and a growing sense of fear, as they uncover that something terrifying has been set loose.

5/10
Unsuccessful children movie trying to follow the tradition of The Goonies or E.T. from overrated J.J. Abrams. Tons of money are wasted on FX trying to hide a weak story and a set of terrible dialogues supposedly coming from children that are totally overacted and annoyingly always shouting. You don't miss anything if you skip Super 8.

I kind of liked the making-a-movie-within-the-movie aspect of _Super 8_ a lot more than the chief plot with the monster and the train and the badman government and the blah blah blah. Which isn't ideal, but saying that obviously means I liked something about it. _Final rating:★★½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole._

It seems to merge genres slightly: science fiction, of course, a bit of coming of age, a slice of movie-within-a-movie - is that all? I think I have watched this movie three times, and probably will again. ...

Film of the events of a group of boys who enjoy filming with super 8. Their aim is to make a film since they love the magic of cinema. At first the train wreck is more scenic than realistic. Both the plot at certain points and the setting are very reminiscent of the Stranger Things series. I think the creators of the TV series were also inspired by this film. This is a film that is also suitable f...

79/100 Teens making an 8mm movie witness a horrific train crash that's carrying something alien. Never paid attention to this film and recently saw an old trailer so my wife and I checked it out. What a delightfully fun film this was. The kids were excellent and acted like real genuine kids. The spec fx were good, especially the train wreck, and the alien was sufficiently grotesque and monstrou...
