JJ Binks week: Super 8

Everyone seems to love this film. No news of a sequel.
The kids' acting was cool. And the storyline that they're film students will have everyone nerd out.

The alien attacking train special effects are really cool. Family drama etc..

The extra terrestrial moments are very disappointing though. The alien is basically a special effect and the kid who has a telepathic link with it only says like one sentence about him and expects us to believe him. You expect from a film student kid that that would be more believable, but it isn't.

There's no real surrealism about a film within a film though. It's just there. Not a lot of work or auteurship here.
