Full length trailer is out for the Super 8 movie. Any movie with Spielberg's name attached catches my attention. IMDb
Release date is June 10. What do you think the monster will look like, maybe ET's mean big brother?

Wondering that as well.  The teaser trailer made it seem like it was going to be some cool mega monster/action/horror type movie.  This latest trailer makes it look like an ET style movie.

My thoughts exactly.  That teaser from last summer where the train crashes and something big beats its way out of the rail car made me go, "hell yeah!"  But I see this and I'm picturing kids flying their bikes across the screen in front of the moon while Neil fucking Diamond sings about turning on my heart light.  I was hoping for a big scary monster rampaging across the country, but this does not look like it.  I'll have to see more before I decide if I'm going to catch this in the theater.

The teaser made me think of a Cloverfield type of movie. Like you said, now it looks like E.T, with a touch more violence.

After seeing the full trailer, I'm sold! I'll be there on opening night if I can.

In all honesty, I see more of classic Speilberg in this than JJ Abrams. Really big Close Encounters vibe from it.

Certainly what it seems like.  I'll reserve judgment until I see some reviews.

Are the guns going to be digitally replaced with walkie talkies?

So far it doesn't seem like one that I'll see in the theater.

Gosh, y'all are sure some Debbie Downers today! I'm surprised there aren't more people excited after the trailer. Not many old-school Spielberg fans on here right now?

I'd much rather see this than Cloverfield 2...

So did I till this trailer, to be perfectly honest! Now, you have to admit though, at least the title makes sense.

Sounds like what Speilberg wishes had really happened to him when was a kid making films (on Super 8).

Well yeah, but still no real details on the movie itself.

I do like a lot of Spielberg's older stuff, but this isn't directed by Spielberg, it's only produced by him, isn't it?  To be honest, I'm less excited now that I've seen the trailer.  The teaser had me thinking this would go on the must-see list.  This new trailer has moved it to the wait and see list.

Should be an interesting film.

I thought Spielburg swore off making anymore "friendly" alien movies.

I just hope it's not one of Speilbergs movies where the kids are protrayed as all little Einsteins and the adults are protrayed as morons. That crap annoyed me even when I was a kid.

I don't know whats with all the Spielberg movie hate 'round here... most of his films revolve around relationships, be they between kids, adults, soldiers, aliens, etc... Jurassic Park, Jurassic Park 2, Schindler's List, Raiders, Temple of Doom, Last Crusade, Saving Private Ryan, The Terminal, Minority Report, and yes even Crystal Skull... And those are just the ones I've seen!

so far it's looking meh

Here is the Super 8 Interactive Teaser trailer that came with the Portal 2 game.

The latest previews now make it less like ET and more of a monster movie.  Not sure what to think.  Guess I'll wait till ARFOM reviews it.

New SUPER 8 TV Spot. Looks pretty good.

My impression - Cloverfield meets Close Encounters of the Third Kind

Cloverfield  - an alien creature you won't get to see much of runs amok in the city/town.

Close Encounters of the Third Kind (or Outbreak) - wherein our military takes over our town and becomes worse than the aliens.

I want to know what kind of truck that was that made the train explode/derail like that.

saw it at midnight, loved it.

its like the goonies mixed with e.t. but darker.  make sure you wait through the end credits.

If it's like the Goonies, I'll have to pass. I frickin hated that movie when it came out. Guess I'll eventually see it when it's released on DVD someday.

I saw it. Pretty good. I think the Goonies comparison above is pretty close. Good sound effects, especially during the train crash.

monstre  kinda reminded me of cloverfield

I saw it today with my son.  It was good, but far from original.  I felt like I had seen it before.

Saw it yesterday.

Great movie, IMO.

Yeah, I can see comparisons to The Goonies, but it was more serious. It wasn't near as goofy. I really liked it.

Pretty much like ET (except with a mean 25 foot Alien)...
6/17/2011 7:02:48 PM EDT
[#37]
Decent movie and a good "date movie." Not particularly memorable though and I will not be purchasing the Blu-Ray.  Probably a good family movie although there is some mild profanity and a scene with marijuana use, but what I thought was a somewhat anti-drug message.

I thourghly enjoyed the film!

should have waited for the video,not worth the money for the theater...one fault i noticed,pretty good late 70's time era what with the cars,kids being mildly respectful to adults...etc,BUT!!! the Air Force changed the color scheme on their uniforms in..i think, mid 1977 and did away with the white lettering and white stripes on the pickle suits and used black instead...

Wife and I watched it the other day...it rained, I took the afternoon off, Super 8 was playing.....


I enjoyed it, honestly....ET meets Goonies is a perfect description.


3.5 / 5.

Just got back from watching it, wife thought it was way to scary for the 12A Cert.... she jumped more than once..

Well worth the admission
