ReviewsSt. Petersburg Times - A movie of here-and-now thrills, goosed by judicious CGI effects that never overpower the humanity of the situation., San Francisco Chronicle - The pacing is superb, quick and agile without being frenzied, and the special effects are jaw-dropping., Entertainment Weekly - Loving, Playful, and spectacularly well made, Super 8 is easily the best summer movie of the year - of many years.
