Today, Paramount Home Entertainment is releasing the excellent Super 8 on Blu-ray & DVD.  Directed by J.J. Abrams and produced by Steven Spielberg, this is a thrilling and nostalgic film that ranks as one of the best summer blockbusters in recent memory.  We reviewed Super 8 when it opened in theatres on June 10th, our overall consensus was:

“A loving tribute to Steven Spielberg and the classic kids adventure films of the 1980’s, writer-director J.J. Abrams’ Super 8 is an equally thrilling, smart and emotionally connecting summer blockbuster for older kids and adults.  **** (Out of 4)”

The Blu-ray includes audio commentary, several deleted scenes and three featurettes on everything from the impressive visual effects to the dream behind the film.

Super 8 is 112 minutes and rated PG.
