    Written by Andres Gomez on Sun Dec 09 2012
    Unsuccessful children movie trying to follow the tradition of The Goonies or E.T. from overrated J.J. Abrams. Tons of money are wasted on FX trying to hide a weak story and a set of terrible dialogues supposedly coming from children that are totally overacted and annoyingly always shouting. You don't miss anything if you skip Super 8....
