Super 8 is entertaining enough (though it isn't going to stick with me very long).
But I'm going to have to kick Abrams in the balls if he doesn't get over his lens flare fetish right quick.
And I wouldn't have minded at least one line of dialog to explain
Also, the Rubik's Cube didn't appear in the US until February 1980 (the movie takes place in June '79) so that reference was a bit out of place and such an obvious thing that I wonder if it was an intentional anachronism.
