anybody else seen it? very spielbergy (producer). it's written and directed by jj abrams (the lost guy)

a bunch of kids filming an amateur movie witness a train crash. airforce comes in to clean up the pieces and it becomes very clear that something weird is going on but the airforce are trying to cover it up

people start going missing and electric are acting screwy. at first you seriously wouldn't be crazy for thinking it's the actions of the smoke monster from lost (it isn't...oh no spoiler!) and the whole film does seem very familiar. take some goonies style kids, immense "production values" (you'll get it if you've seen the film) add a splash of close encounters and e.t and you have super 8

i would recommend it, it's a good film with a good story with good funny characters that all act splendidly and a properly visceral train crash, the screeching tearing metal is brutal, but it will feel familiar to many of you. for a younger generation this will be their e.t

a super 8 out of 10
