....the film Super 8 ?

I remember it getting good reviews when it was released

Super 8 (2011) - IMDb

I've downloaded to watch tomorrow

Yeah, I enjoyed it. There were parts that were hard to believe but it's an alien movie so I wasn't too concerned about it.

Yeah I get a bit critical when parts of the plot go a bit skew-wiff but sometimes you have to check your brain in at the cloakroom before settling down to watch these films

Bit like Battleship when a dozen old timers got a museum piece battleship ready for war in a couple of hours and sailed it. I scoffed at that bit

Independence day is just starting here on A&E channel!

Movies are good when you can get your 13 yr old to sit down and watch something from before she was born.

This movie was one where I let the hype get me too fired up. Anything that people compare to "SPEILBURG!" I get excited about, but this was "speilburg." or speilburg-lite if you want. Sure there's some great writing and some neat special effects, but the movie rambles a bit and seems disjointed at the end. Not enough bang for the buck. Kind of similar to the feeling I got from "Chronicle."

Probably I was over-expecting. Just get some popcorn and don't expect too much, you'll like it.

Just watched. It was quite good. Got to wondering about how a man in a truck destroys a train like that but survives, so did the camera and so did their car.....LOL

Disapointed by Chronicle

Prometheus was great especially in 3D
