Super 8

I really enjoyed the storyline of this movie. It is a bit different to other movies but followed the basic storyline of a typical 'monster take over world' movie. The idea of having children as the main characters and trying to discover the secret the U.S Air Force was hiding was brilliant and somewhat unique. It also reminded me of the storyline of Cloverfield. JJ Abrams and Steven Spielberg has made an excellent team in the creation of this storyline. 

The acting of the main characters was not the best. I specifically didn't like how Elle Fanning portrayed Alice. Joel Courtney and Riley Griffiths on the other hand both did an excellent job with their acting and a portrayal of two of the main characters. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the two new actors throughout the movie.

The main thing I didn't like with the movie was the filming. The filming itself was terrible and the special thing with all the lights really put me off (not sure what you call it). This type of lighting and filming was a real let down especially when the blue lighting was covering the screen and blocking out the picture. However, the special effects has really supported this movie and they have done an excellent job.
