Super 8 deceives the viewer. First of all, he deceives with the cover, director JJ Abrams and producer Steven Spielberg. Sounds promising, doesn't it? Secondly, Super 8 at first looks like a mixture of Sci-Fi and thriller. But firstly, it's a very weak JJ Abrams thriller, secondly, Sci-Fi here is rather background. This is more of a personal work of JJ Abrams than an independent film. Well, a limited number of viewers can understand it, it was necessary to live in the United States at a certain time and age to get this level of nostalgia, for which this film was made. And if you, like me, are not from this category of viewers, then for you this is an ordinary thriller that covers Sci-Fi and has 1 good action scene. It's just a movie not for everyone, it's a rather personal work of the director, who translated into it parallels from the childhood of his generation.

For better and for worse, this certainly wasn't what I was expecting. At times an innocent, slice of life glimpse back at a childhood spent in the very late 1970s, the film's sudden, jolting leaps across different genres left me disoriented and on-edge for its duration. Mixing equal parts of The Goonies, Cloverfield, ET and Red Dawn in the same blender, the final product admittedly feels a bit blotchy and uneven. Rather than running from the stereotypes inherent in each ingredient, like a cast of minors fleeing a destructive unseen monster, Super 8 wears them like a badge of honor. In many ways this plays out like a film from the distant past, more concerned with upping the ante and pursuing an excess of action and adventure than delivering any deeper messages. A broad, varied leading cast toes the line between strong characterization and over-sharing, while the less-than-stellar supporting characters bring the cheese in lethal doses. It's a fantastic popcorn muncher with a fascinating knack for the unpredictable, but much, much shallower than anything else in the Abrams catalog. Fun for a single viewing, but I doubt I'll be back for more.

It's no wonder that I walked into the movie theater to see Super 8 with nothing but optimism. J. J. Abrams has created some fantastic films, so it only added to my disappointment when I walked out of the theater unimpressed. I felt like they chose unknown actors specifically to suspend reality in the film. Unfortunately, the actual effect was poorly acted secondary characters that I felt no compassion towards, or even really cared about. While the main characters seemed to be well thought out and acted, most of the other characters were just plain underwhelming. Certain elements of the story seemed completely unnecessary, such as the white cubes, the rivalry between the fathers, and the protagonist's mother's locket. The whole movie seemed to be a simple way to show off that trademark J. J. Abrams cinematography, and not character of plot driven at all. This movie is good for anyone who wants a shiny version of E.T.
