Super 8 on the GIANT IMAX Theatre at Palisades Center

In the summer of 1979, a group of friends in a small Ohio town witness a catastrophic train crash while making a super 8 movie and soon suspect that it was not an accident. Shortly after, unusual disappearances and inexplicable events begin to take place in town, and the local Deputy tries to uncover the truth - something more terrifying than any of them could have imagined. 

Super 8 is a science fiction film written and directed by J.J. Abrams and produced by Steven Spielberg and starring Elle Fanning, AJ Michalka, and Kyle Chandler.

SLASHFILM: "Loved it, they don’t make these types of movies anymore. The best thing I can say about the film is that I loved the characters/setting/tone so much that I probably would have enjoyed it just as much as a Stand By Me-like coming of age drama without the sci-fi/train crash/action. Its one of those films that feels like it was made just for me."

Jenna Busch: "Super8 is AMAZING!!!! Nostalgic, action-packed and just damn entertaining! Woot!"

BDK Reviews: "Easily the best movie of 2011 so far!"

JRothC: "It was everything I wanted it to be. A coming-of-age sci-fi adventure like the classics I love. Super 8′s great for older kids AND grown-ups who long for the classic sci-fi films of the late ’70s and ’80s. Longer review to come — but I loved it — think you will too!

TreyAlexMovies: Super 8 is an adventurous blast! A thriller with a heart and laughs. Abrams and Spielberg are a great team."
