The name is very attractive, and I don't know what Super 8 means after reading it. When I saw it at Mtime, I didn't expect it to be the name of the camera.
It is very similar to "ET" from beginning to end, and Spielberg's name is also on the production staff. I can't help but doubt two points. First, does Spielberg particularly like children's stories? Second, is this film a tribute to "ET"? Of course, the director also said that it refers to elements of many movies, including "ET". In the future, all the best films will add a sentence to the disclaimer, which will become like this: "This film is purely fictitious, and may refer to the elements of all the films before the film's completion date. Any similarity is purely coincidental."
Opening . The special effects are good, the ending special effects are acceptable, the middle part seems to advance the plot development, but also seems to have no effect, the lines are too verbose, and the redundant parts are clearly visible, I doubt whether American movies are going backwards. It seems that the lines in the classic movies are also the key. It reminds me of "I, Robot". After a few sentences, even the pompous Smith began to ramble, but that plot.
You said "Super 8" is to see special effects? Don't compare it to "Transformers"; watch suspense? There are too few monster shots that have been reluctant to appear. Is it possible to imitate "The Cloverfield File", which is really a super 8 camera, and the effect is not as good as modern DV; see warmth? Originally, the ending was not a tender drama. Besides, the tenderness of "ET" is a natural result of the two protagonists' long-term relationship. In this film, the background of the protagonist's mother is not even introduced. As for the father-son and father-daughter relationship, there is too little paving and too monotonous.
From the overall point of view, if you can read it in one go, the creativity of the sci-fi base material is OK.
Should give 7 points, plus 0.5 points for science fiction movies. Fadeoc
