Review:
I really enjoyed this movie. I received multiple responses that were on each end of the scale: "My friend said this movie was terrible", "My friend said this movie was great". I decided to stick to the review that said it was the "Number one movie of the summer" and went for it. The plot confused me at first, and I began to enjoy watching an action movie which was tied together by a cute little love story. The love triangle created tension throughout the group of friends that had you questioning whether they were going to stick together through everything or not.
I was confused by the name Super 8 because I thought it was about the hotel at first, I know, I am a little slow. Then I was thinking maybe it's because there are eight kids or something, but after talking about the confusion with my friend and her mom, her mom explained that Super 8 was a type of film or recording thing, which made the movie make complete sense since everything seemed to be discovered through a camera. It was also funny seeing all the old technology like Walkman's and things of that nature. Brought me back, not very far back since I was barely part of it, but it brought me back to when I was like 4 or 5 years old.
I would recommend this movie to pretty much anyone. It has action, it has comedy, it has a little love story, and it also emphasizes the fact that the military seems to hide things from us, so any person who is skeptical about that would also enjoy this movie. It is rated PG-13, it has some language, so I wouldn't recommend little kids watching it, but it is a good movie for anyone who is old enough.
That's all for now...
