Super 8 (2011)

Directed by J.J. Abrams

Starring Joel Courtney, Riley Griffiths, Ryan Lee, Gabriel Basso, Zach Mills, Kyle Chandler

Making the military the bad guy? Strange goings on in a small town. Focus on the family.

If you're going to make a Steven Speilberg homage, get the man himself to produce.

Joe Lamb and his friends enjoy making films. His father doesn't approve, especially since Joe's mother was killed in an accident.

On one of their shoots, the group of kids experience a train wreckage. From there on in they're on an adventure of wondering why people are going missing and electricity is failing.

With the mystery and the holding of friendships and trust, Super 8 is a Stand By Me for a new generation. Only much better.

4/5
