SUPER 8 [2011]

Star Trek rebooter, Fringe & LOST mastermind, J.J. Abrams writes & directs Super 8, a tribute to the 80's sci-fi, child adventure movies.
The young cast is massively entertaining (particularly Elle Fanning...keep an eye on this talented little actress). The setting is superb. The pacing is wonky and the ending goes by too fast.
A little more simplicity in the spider-webbed story and it might have established itself as a modern day Goonies or Explorers.
