Super 8

I had been anticipating this movie more than most over this past summer and well it just slipped through and I missed it. I got to watch this enjoyable movie last night, but honestly it did not live up to the hype I anticipated. This is a very slick (with Spielberg fingerprints all over it) film reminiscent of The Goonies, E.T., The Gate and several other family fun films. A little too slick. Several stories are woven into this Alien episode with enough scares to make this fun for adults. It's not great, but it is fun. The kid actors are varied enough to add spice and they do it very well.

I recommend it.
