3 out of 10 Not well thought out at all
Philip from Longford, 24 Feb 2012
This film died for me after the first hour. Felt tlike i was watching E.T or stand by me for the first hour and the blonde kid with braces could win a prize for being the most annoying kid at the movies this year OMG!!! honestly if he said it one more time i was gonna throw my shoe at the TV. Kinda got the feeling that the harmony between the producers and the directors for this one just imploded at the halfway point and sadly this flick dies on its feet with no where to fall. Not in the avoid category but not on the shortlist either.

2.5 out of 10 What could have been
Mark from Dublin, 16 Jan 2012
An alien film from Spielberg where all the alien wants to do is get home, govt want to do tests on him and the only one who understands him is a young boy. Sound familiar? Only difference is the original was good. Some great acting (Elle Fanning is class) but ultimately story is weak

2.5 out of 10 Average
Alec from Dublin, 04 Feb 2012
Really, really tries to be a Spielberg type film. Starts well enough but ends up as a chore to watch. Well made and excellent first hour after which it runs out of ideas, could have been a lot, lot better.

2.5 out of 10 Fell Asleep
Joanne from Kildare, 13 Mar 2012
It was ok, not terrible but nothing to write home about either, I fell asleep towards the end anyway so that will tell how much attention it got.

What's it about....
Steven Spielberg and J.J. Abrams join forces in this extraordinary tale of youth, mystery and adventure. Super 8 tells the story of six friends who accidentally film a train wreck only to discover that something unimaginable escaped during the crash. Now, the only thing more mysterious than what it is... is what it wants.
