super 8 movie review

                        Super 8 movie review

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.

Act 1 is about the context of the world where they live in, the major character of the story are introduced, and the conflict that will move the story forward. In Act I, the writer has the freedom to create any setting and reality that he so wishes. This early in the script, anything is possible.

The story beginning with the In 1979, Deputy Sheriff Jack Lamb and his 14-year-old son Joe, mourn the death of his wife Elizabeth in a steel mill accident. Four months later, Joe's best friend Charles Kaznyk decides to make a low-budget zombie movie for an international film competition. Charles enlists the help of Preston , Martin, and Cary, as well as Alice. they decide to shooting at a train depot using a passing train to add authenticity. While filming,  an accident was happened and cause the place blooming. Lucky , they didn't have any injured. later, they found the truck's driver is Dr. Woodward who is their biology teacher. Dr. Woodward warning them to forget what they saw that night, or else their parents will be killed. 

Act II is the hardest one to squeeze out. This happens because after the initial boost of anew story, the writer is left without plot elements to introduce. The story, its characters and conflict are all established.

All the dogs run away, several towns people go missing, and electronics from all over are stolen. at the same time, Alice is quarrel with her father and run away from house, suddenly  abducted by the creature. At the base, Joe learns from her father that Alice is missing, possibly abducted by the creature. Joe, Charles, Martin, and Cary find a hole in the base's fence and slip back into town, intent on rescuing Alice. They play the film and found that Woodward was one of the scientists experimenting which reveal that an alien. Martin is injured in an explosion, so Charles stays behind with him while Joe and Cary head to the cemetery.  In a chamber beneath the town's water tower, they find the alien has created a device from the town's stolen electronics, and it's attached to the base of the tower.

Act III presents the final confrontation of the movie, followed by the dénouement. This act is usually the shortest in length, the main character is face to face with the villain or just about.

The alien also has several of the people, including Alice, hanging from the ceiling and unconscious. Using Cary's firecrackers as a distraction Joe frees Alice and the other people, but the alien chases them down. Joe steps forward and tries to talk to the alien. The alien finally opens his eyes, which seem to have been sealed shut to his time in captivity and looks at Joe and releases him.As they reunite with their fathers, everyone watches as metal objects from all over town are magnetically pulled to the top of the water tower. The locket that used to belong to Joe's mom is also drawn towards the tower and Joe, after a brief moment, lets it go. finally the alien ship done, and back to its own planet.
