I went and saw Super 8 Friday night and I must tell you I was simply blown away. I felt like I was transported back to 1982. I even saw it in the same theater I saw a lot of movies at in 1982. Anyway, director JJ Abrams took the best of the movies he grew up with and meshed them into an exciting and touching tale of kids and monsters. There were so many influences I lost track. There was a little bit of Close Encounters, ET, Jaws, Goonies, Stand By Me, and many, many 1950's B science fiction movies. The acting was superb and the look and feel of the film was note perfect. I highly, highly recommend this film, especially if you grew up in the late 70's/early 80's like I did. A truly outstanding film!
