Remember watching E.T, the Goonies, or Stand by me? As a kid those were my favorite movies, and if you grew up in the 80s then I’m sure you did too. Super 8 brings that nostalgia back albeit in a more modern and millions of dollars more in production value. Super 8 is about a group of middle school kids who, while making a zombie movie, captures a devastating training crash that releases something dangerous onto their town. Now, not only do they have to save their town they got to finish their zombie movie. Overall, this movie is fun and exciting and after seeing it it’ll make you want to rifle through your VHS collection for a copy those old classics. Okay, maybe you can just Netflix it instead.
