	Author	Review
United States	Elizabeth Weitzman New York Daily News	"The cast is splendid, the script quick-witted and the action satisfying. If Steven Spielberg and J.J. Abrams had turned "Super 8" into a low-budget B-movie, it might have looked something like this (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"	POS
	Claudia Puig	"A clever blend of sci-fi and comedy, which pits toothy furball space invaders against young South London thugs"	POS
United States	Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"An entertaining thriller in the tradition of 1970s B-action films, with an unknown cast, energetic special effects and great energy (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"	POS
United States	David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter	"An infectiously larky extraterrestrial invasion movie that respects the genre conventions while spicing the brew with distinctive local flavor"	POS
United States	Lou Lumenick New York Post	"A hilarious, slam-bang series of chases and battles that cross 'Gremlins' with 'Assault on Precinct 13' (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"	POS
