Director J.J. Abrams attempts to bring us this generation's version of "E.T." or "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" with "Super 8" and is pretty successful. He does a masterful job replicating the look and feel of the classic 70's and 80's Spielberg films. It's hard not to admire the themes of mystery and child-like wonder Abrams conveys in the movie as well as the themes of family, friendship, and heartbreak. Unfortunately, the kids in the film uncomfortably curse way too often and the story telling isn't quite as polished as the aforementioned classics. Nevertheless, this is a very good movie with good performances, great special effects and a terrific score that definitely gets our recommendation.
