Super 8

So a couple weekends ago I went to see Super 8 with my mom.  When I had first seen the previews I thought it might be a scary movie, then the more previews I saw, I thought maybe it's more of a disaster movie.  The latter was definitely more true.  It wasn't scary at all, but the movie was all about this big disaster that happened in a small town.  From just watching the previews, I didn't realize it was going to be through the eyes of a group of teenagers either.  However, I really did like the movie.  I felt that it had some more sophisticated elements than a regular kid movie would have, making it more of a cross between a kid and an adult movie.  I thought the teenagers that were chosen were really great actors/actresses and the movie was very suspenseful.  It wasn't till the last 15 minutes that I actually knew the whole story of what was going on.  The action and graphics were definitely part of what made this movie so wonderfully suspenseful and more sophisticated than a kid movie.  It did remind me of the movie Explorers cause it does have a lot of the same elements.  A group of kids/teenagers that are on a mission trying to solve something together and aliens are involved.  It was a great movie and I do recommend you seeing it.
4/5 Stars  (I really liked it)

This trailer gives you a better idea of what to expect, its not the one I saw on TV however.  The second one, is like the one I saw.
