SUPER 8
Purchased brand new & sealed.
In perfect condition. Like new, used ONCE.
The lead characters are a group of kids trying to make a scary movie on an old-school Super 8 video camera. One night while filming, they witness a gargantuan train derailment right in front of their eyes. When they notice the incoming U.S. Army trucks, they hightail it out of there. Very soon, it becomes clear that something "alive" was on that train and it also managed to escape before the Army arrived at the scene. People start disappearing in the town, and the group of kids discover they have footage on their camera which documents something mysterious. The rest of the story is exciting and fun-filled, as the kids face some terrifying moments trying to get to the bottom of the story. The cast are all superb and the characters aren't cardboard cut-outs. The kids and their parents and the rest of the townsfolk are all extremely well-drawn and the sense of tension among alot of the main characters from even before the crash and subsequent Army lockdown, is very evident. The special effects are superb, the thrills are enjoyable for adults and young teens and the movie doesn't overstay its welcome. My only complaint would be the weak ending which is a bit of a letdown. Other than that though, it's the perfect adventure for the whole family to enjoy. Provided the kids aren't under the age of 13 for a few nervy scenes. (4 out of 5, by Carlisle Johnson)The third directorial effort from Alias and Lost creator J.J. Abrams (after Mission Impossible 3 and Star Trek) is another winner! Steven Spielberg produced the movie, and the whole thing hearkens back to classic Spielberg adventures like Close Encounters Of The Third Kind and E.T.. It's set in the late 70's and has that wholesome small-town American feel to it.
In the summer of 1979, a group of friends in a small Ohio town witness a catastrophic train crash while making a super 8 movie and soon suspect that it was not an accident.
Shortly after, unusual disappearances and inexplicable events begin to take place in town, and the local Deputy tries to uncover the truth – something more terrifying than any of them could have imagined.
Something unimaginable escaped during the crash. And everyone's about to discover that the only thing more mysterious than what it is, is what it wants.
