Super 8 is story about children and their fathers, and the bond between them. Yes there is a supernatural backdrop that no one understands, but make no mistake, the film is about the relationships between all the main characters. Super 8 is the type of movie that is hard to review because I don't want to give anything away, but from the trailers you can tell a group of children filming their own zombie film witness a train crash, and the train had more than just your usual cargo. Soon the military is showing up and people are disappearing from the small town, and the main kids want to know what is going on. The majority of the actors in Super 8 are unknowns, but people will recognize Kyle Chandler (King Kong) as the sheriff, Ron Eldard (ER) as the town drunk, Elle Fanning (Somewhere), and Noah Emmerich (The Truman Show). The majority of the movie I absolutely loved, that dissipated a bit towards the end but only because of how high the bar was set for the first three quarters of the film. All the child actors do a tremendous job, and J.J. Abrams is masterful behind the camera. I highly recommend seeing the film, even if you are not a fan of Sci-fi as a whole. I give Super 8....8 Ninja Stars out of 10.
