Super 8 (2011) 8/10

Starring : Joel Courtney, Elle Fanning, Riley Griffiths, Ryan Lee, Zach Mills
Director : JJ Abrams
Running Time : 112 mins

It’s 1979, and while Joe Lamb (Courtney) and his friends are making a zombie movie on their super 8 camera, they witness a train crash that almost gets them all killed. But this crash was no accident, and when the army roles into town they all soon realise that the military are trying to cover something up – something big.

This is a great movie that harkens back to the movies of the 80s such as The Goonies and Explorers that focus more on the characters than the action, but still give enough thrills to entertain even the most hardened viewer. The plot is solid, the characters are fun and the sub-plots are interesting and really make you feel for the characters. Anyone who loved Spielberg movies from the 70s and 80s will really enjoy this movie.
