Abram’s love letter to the Amblin classics of old is more than just a wink, a kiss and a hug. It makes sweet, sweet love to the era and even calls it the next day. Super 8 is a wildly entertaining cul-de-sac sci-fi adventure that rekindles the glory of the Spielbergian films JJ draws inspiration from, whilst retaining its own identity. It’s a little anticlimactic near the end and some may feel the creature’s a bit too “familiar,” but the wonderful solidarity between the youthful leads and the brilliant mix of horror and wonder makes Super 8 an easy recommendation.
