Super 8 movie review (less than I thought it would be)

I had actually brought this up with Perry at some point in class when we were talking about documentaries to watch for the sake of reviewing and I remembered how I had heard great things about it a few years ago but never got around to watching it. After doing some searching online I found the full movie to watch. Let's just say that if I hadn't known it was produced by Steven Spielberg, I would have immediately guessed he was involved somehow. I liked the choices made by the team of Speilberg and Abrams. A LOT of the shots reminded me of his early films. The truck scene on the train tracks seemed like a modernized version of Close Encounters Of The Third Kind where Richard Dreyfuss sits in a very similar looking truck. A lot of the rest of the film seemed to be.... Like rehashed footage from E.T. But don't get me wrong, I LOVED the movie. Michael Bay did some nice explosions in there, although computers will never beat the old fashioned way, but I loved the kind of.... References and Easter eggs Speilberg put in the film to shout out his earlier work which I came to love in elementary school. It shows that he is still capable of doing some amazing movies. Highly reccomend Super 8.
