00:00Welcome to Fan Reviews, I'm Travis Oscarson here at MovieCo, the world's premiere movie experience.

00:18I'm here in the D-Box section where it's about to fill up. Everyone's coming to see J.J. Abrams' Super 8.

00:25Can it deliver on all the hype? We're going to find out for you right now.

00:30Summer has officially kicked off. I mean, J.J. Abrams, Steven Spielberg, you don't get much bigger than that. But how was Super 8?

00:52It was quite excellent. It was so good. I jumped in so many parts. It was incredible. I loved it. It was pretty freaky.

00:58It reminded me of the classic, you know, E.T. vibe, which is super hard to pull off.

01:03J.J. Abrams' little hit or miss, and I think he did really well with this one.

01:07You guys actually got to experience it in D-Box, so you were moving around with the movie. How was it?

01:12It was so cool when you're shaking around at the train crash.

01:16I thought the effects in the film were incredible, and the D-Box just made it even more, like, better.

01:22I really didn't know what to expect, and I was completely lost in it the whole time, like, in a good way.

01:27As the mom, it was amazing, riveting, and believe me, my heart jumped out of my chest, like, four times. It was unbelievable.

01:35Really well done. It had a lot of subtlety to it that I really, really appreciated.

01:39Everyone's really excited here, too.

01:41Definitely. It was like, you know, it was all pumped up, and it was just, you were in the zone.

01:46I didn't know anyone in it, but I loved it. It was, they did a great job. Great kid actors. Awesome.

01:50A lot of big roles for such young kids. I was amazed, honestly.

01:55The kids did a great job.

01:56Who was your favorite?

01:57Um, the main character, the boy.

02:00We loved Carrie. We were just talking about it. The one with the firecrackers and the fireworks.

02:04He was funny, huh?

02:05Oh, he was wonderful. He was great.

02:07Perfect, perfect sidekick.

02:09They casted that film beautifully.

02:11So is Elle Banning the new Dakota Banning?

02:13No, she's better.

02:14Maybe. Maybe better. I don't know. She was really good.

02:16I think she's better.

02:18She can be, because she tries harder and pursue her career.

02:22And stays away from Twilight movies.

02:23Yeah.

02:25Her acting within her acting was even good, so that was, that was kind of pleasant.

02:29We got to experience this, the old school Spielberg movies in the theaters.

02:33Is it cool for the younger generation to see that kind of filmmaking?

02:36Oh yeah, absolutely. I mean, it's something that really they went back and that was my era,

02:40where I grew up with all the music and everything, so I was right in there.

02:44And they actually got to see a taste of it, so it was really fabulous.

02:47Don't give any spoilers away, but do we get to see whatever that is in there?

02:52We do get to see it, and it's, it's not disappointing.

02:55I knew what I wanted, but I didn't know what I was going to get, and I loved what I got,

02:58so that was really nice.

02:59It is very satisfying in the end.

03:01I thought it was good. They did a good job of concealing it long enough for you.

03:04Did it take too long though?

03:06Um, I don't think so, because I thought it stayed scary that way.

03:09So with all the mystery, all the hype, it was worth it for you?

03:12Yeah, I think the rating on Rotten Tomatoes was pretty accurate.

03:16This is one of the top movies for the summer.

03:19Was this the summer movie you've been waiting for?

03:21Oh yeah, it's a blockbuster, and I think they're all going to Twitter it and Facebook,

03:24so it'll be crowded all weekend.

03:25Better returns, more than you're anticipating.

03:28So better than the finale of Lost?

03:30Much better than the finale of Lost.

03:32Was the payoff better than the finale of Lost?

03:36Definitely better payoff. I enjoyed it a lot.

03:39Now you're probably still wondering, is Super 8 a prequel to Cloverfield?

03:43Well, you're going to have to see the movie to find out that answer.

03:46If you want to experience Super 8 and my favorite place to see a movie,
