Finally got around to watching SUPER 8. It turned out A LOT better than I thought. I went in assuming something along the lines of CLOVERFIELD (which sucked), but I was pleasantly surprised. The film wasn't short on sci-fi cliches (monster/alien escapes a train/ship/UFO/etc. wreck, a bunch of kids stumble upon it and investigate, military rolls into town, etc.) but the film had heart, and I quite enjoyed it.
