Super 8 review by CS
Dissappointing re-hash of 50' Creature Features!
(0) of (0) members found this review helpful.
I was quite looking forward to seeing this film, but sadly like so many Spielberg films of the recent past, it failed to live up to the hype and expectations. In effect this is a 50's Sci-Fi Creature Feature, simply re-hashed for today! You see little of the creature and what you do see is unclear, muddy and confused, even when you finally get to see it. The CGI is poor and fails to make anything of the creature itself. The script is average, as is the acting, direction, effects etc. basically this film is a hash of so many other films that have gone before. It felt like a mix of Alien, ET, Cloverfield, War of the Worlds, in fact too many other films, so much so that nothing really stood out for me as being original, new or interesting. Many elements were irrelevant to the film, such as the love interest between the very young boy and an older girl, which I felt was irrelevant to the storyline. None of the characters had any strength or depth to them and the film struggled to build on those characters whilst at the same time creating a flow with the action. A good Sunday afternoon film to watch with the family, but in all a real disappointment!!
