A group of kids are making a Super 8 Cine film next to a railroad, when events take a turn, changing their lives and their friendship. This is a great film. Classic monster movie storytelling from a child's eye viewpoint. And you can tell that this is a passion piece form JJ Abrams and his cohorts, all of whom have a kinship in making this very kind of film as kids themselves. While everyone in the cast is excellent, it is Elle Fanning who brings the real starlight to this production. It struck me, on second viewing, that whenever she is on screen nothing else is happening - in the sense that your focus is on her and no-one or nothing else. To command that level of attention at such an early age is astonishing. You can watch this movie with your kids and your granny. But there is one swearword - and so unnecessary too (why??). My only gripe is that there's not enough of the monster in it!Read full review

The screen was blurred during several points of the film on my first watch. It was borderline unwatchable at parts. I didn’t get fingerprints on the disc, and have not had any problems watching other blu-rays on my console / TV.

I just love sci fi movies and I would put this in the top 10 of my list, the directors are just amazing and should not never stop making movies, if they do that day will be sad.
