Super 8 (Movie)
« on: May 13, 2010, 04:32:15 pm »

Am I the first person on this site to notice this new movie by JJ Abrams?

Looks like a sci-fi horror film, and it's going to be directed by JJ Abrams and produced by Steven Spielberg. It's coming out in 2011.
Personally, this sounds pretty damn cool. Here's the trailer. link

I wasn't impressed.

Why was it punching the door when the wheel was turning anyway? Why did some goof kill himself derailing the train when he could have just gotten out of the truck? If it could punch through the wall why didn't it do that earlier? If it was so important why didn't the train have air support? Can we please get a shot that doesn't fade in and out constantly? This thing had better not be another Steadicam Monster Movie.

And we know Abrams can direct something well-lit. He did Star Trek 12. But at least he isn't turning everything brown like in most FPS today.

And Spielberg, meh. I do hope he starts making good movies again ... although I didn't like a lot of the other ones like Close Encounters and ET. Too monotonous. Slow can be good, but if you let the audience cool off enough, she will just get frustrated and grab her things and leave.
