J.J. Abrams and Steven Spielberg join forces in this extraordinary tale of youth, mystery and adventure. Super 8 tells the story of six friends who witness a train wreck while making a super 8 movie, only to discover that something unimaginable escaped during the crash. They soon discover that the only thing more mysterious than what it is, is what it wants. Experience the film that critics rave is "filled with unstoppable imagination and visual effects to spare.

Metacritic Score

  • 60

    The New York Times A.O. Scott

    Like his (Abrams) previous features, "Mission: Impossible III" and "Star Trek," Super 8 is an enticing package without much inside.

    Los Angeles Times Kenneth Turan

    This melding of two cinematic sensibilities, though effective at moments, is finally not as exciting or involving as it we'd like it to be.

  • 50

    Variety

    A relatively standard monster movie.
