According to Arizona Central:, Super 8 will well worth seeing again (and again, and again).

Director J.J. Abrams' homage to early Steven Spielberg films (Spielberg is a producer) makes you think it's an alien movie, when in fact it's a movie about growing up, with a sincere love of filmmaking thrown in as a bonus. The kids in the film are great, especially Joel Courtney and Elle Fanning, and any Kyle Chandler appearance is a welcome one. It's funny, it's scary, it's sad, it's sweet. You know - you'll laugh, you'll cry. With so many elements in play, it's the kind of movie that all but demands repeated viewings, and it's also the kind of movie you should see on the big screen.
