Ah, Super 8, one of my favorite films of 2011 (so far)! I was very excited to see an IMAX preview screening of this on a school day (good thing I play baseball). This movie reminds me of E.T. mixed with the Cloverfield monster. It has heart, soul, and action, all while kids are trying to make a movie with a Super 8 camera. J. J. Abrams has directed a MASTERPIECE. But you also have to note that the young cast is SUPURB. Joel Courtney, Elle Fanning, and Kyle Chandler and all of the other actors deserve a standing ovation. Bottom line: With the excellent cast and great writing, this movie is an insta-classic.
