It's very hard to capture the spirit of adolescence in the film. Very important in our lives is an easy thing to run, if faced child actors in the dialogue difficult or filmmaker who returns to the past with rose-colored glasses. But when a writer and / or director is able to capture the incredible mix of emotions that come with the experience of young people can be beautiful. While JJ Abrams has created a perfect Super 8 film, which captured the essence of growing up and mixed with a compelling and action-packed, science-fiction classic that pays homage to the genre, without losing the spark of originality .
Set in 1979, the film begins with Joe (Joel Courtney) in the match - his mother died in an accident at the plant, and his relationship with his father as Shellshocked (Kyle Chandler) has become more distant and broken in the months spends most of his time with his friends (Riley Griffiths, Ryan Lee, Gabriel Basso, Zach Mills, Elle Fanning), and to shoot a low budget zombie movie to get into a local festival. After secretly at night to film a scene at the train station nearby, children exposed to derail a train carrying a valuable cargo of Air Force and mysterious. They are warned by a survivor of the accident did not tell anyone what they saw, only to suddenly discover their city plagued by unexplained events, a strong military presence and, worst of all, people disappear.
The conquest of the risks that come with a mostly young cast, Abrams has assembled a group of actors who are just remarkable. While Courtney is obviously the driver, and offers a stunning and mature performance as an actor so young, each group member is a pleasure to watch and has its own little quirk that prevents them from simply being part of an amorphous group. Lee - who plays a love explosion firebug - is a great source of comic relief and offers some of the best lines in the film, while Griffiths as director of the company's best friend Joe is charming in its representation of motivation of Charles, whose bravery leads to a vulnerability that affects later. These figures all come together brilliantly when you combine the best qualities of each to enhance the interaction with others.
Although the film is a tribute to the work with Steven Spielberg and early films like Stand By Me and The Goonies, the melting of the young can be distinguished on its own.
The lens flares constant threat to go on the road, but the Super 8 of truly exceptional sports photography. While action films in recent years have developed a terrible habit of shooting close, leaving the details to understand and fall by the wayside, Abrams was always impeccably placed the camera, allowing the public to have full scope of the film. The train accident itself a sequence to keep the mouth open five minutes after the fall of the last car. The quality extends to the quieter moments as well. The scenes between Joe and his father and Alice (Fanning), Joe crush, Abrams and his camera to take the tension, awkwardness, or the distance between the characters and understand them before a word is pronounced. After dealing with two action films of all their first two films, Abrams has problems with this project and handles the dramatic scenes as talented as those loaded with explosions and contraction of the metal.
But while the performances and direction are stellar, the movie has some pretty big gaps in the narrative. Super 8 is by no means a classic tribute to Spielberg, but when Abrams excavations of the same emotional resonance that we are in Jaws and ET, and the public to discover too late that there is here. Following the relationship between Joe and his father unplugged from the first stage, the audience is never given any closure, the public should be beyond the end of the film that everything has been patched. The opposite applies to conflicts between Joe and Charles, which creates an interesting arc to their relationship, but that is resolved too quickly and without sufficient reason. Biggest mistake of the film, however, comes at a very emotional moment at the end, where Abrams reveals that the determination of the personality of a central character in an attempt to evoke the emotion that falls rather flat.
Super 8 nourishes the ambition and for the most part is good, but Abrams has bitten more than he can chew on some key areas.
As the end is imperfect, the Super 8 is an especially beautiful cinematic experience that combines great performance, edge-of-your-seat thrills and excellent camera work. Despite being in the mid-40s, JJ Abrams has successfully advanced into the universal emotions of youth and captures the spirit of an era in a way that makes the audience nostalgic, but never emotionally manipulated. For a film that does not meet its own expectations ridiculously high, it is still triumph,Watch Super 8 Online Free.
