Only one man's opinion but.......

Admittedly there is undeniable intrigue as the sense of foreboding increases throughout the film, but this is...

Super 8

I feel that this movie is rife for backlash, especially with some of the JJ disdain that I’ve read on other TF threads, but I have been lucky enough to see this twice now, and what it did for me was...
