Super 8 ?

[Troy Spiral (13)]

Anyone see this thing?

J.J. Abrams AND Spielberg? Seems promising if not "rated R" (always though both them guys could make better stuff if they dipped into the R rated territory)

intrigued that a lot of younger siblings of child actors are in this. Dakota Fanning's sister and Alyson Michalka's sister.

I was interested until JJ made the statement that it wasnt a clovi sequel. Then I stopped caring, that was before it came out.

Typically a good sign when the critics and the users are in agreement on metacritic. (tend to be more on the "film aficionado" side as opposed to say IMDB.. for some weird reason.)

For instance the critics generally thought Thor sucked, but the popular votes are generally positive. (usually a bad sign)

Not that the critic or non-critic comentary is super important, but with so much entertainment to weed through, some sort of direction helps. The world is awash in spew from the Cult of the Entertainer.

According to the current meta critic score , this is the best non-children's film in wide release. Not that there is anything in the way of artsy/independent competition at the moment, and not that it really matters for me all that much since I havent been to the actual movies in well over a year... maybe two years. Just for some reason I'm thinking about "wasting" money and going to the actual theater, almost just for the hell of it regardless of what the movie is. Plus the therapists all keep pushing me to do crap like this.

I saw it, it was alright. I have had friends who watched it call it the anti-ET movie...which is accurate to a degree. Story is pretty good but the climax is not as good as it could have been though. Honestly I thought it was going to be scarier than it was.
