Nonspoilery review:
Go see it. You won't be sorry.
Take Stand by Me and mush it together with a little sprinkle of The Mothman Prophesy. Add science teachers, young love, personal tragedy, substance abuse problems, the Air Force, aliens, and Big Fucking Explosions. Set it 30 years in the past, but make sure you've got a pitch-perfect set, costumes, and mannerisms. Et voila, you have Super 8. So like I said, go see it. It was great.
