So that brings me, ultimately, to what this video is actually about. The movie that I consider to be JJ Abrams Magnum Opus, the 2011 mystery film: Super 8. Super 8 has everything that works in stories like Stranger Things or The Goonies and also capitalizes on The mystery box style of storytelling that so many people, JJ included, so often get wrong. The film itself borrows elements from many Spielberg films, other films that I’ve mentioned, and draws personal inspiration from JJ Abrams childhood.
