Super 8, written and directed by J.J. Abrams, is now streaming for free.
Super 8 is now streaming for free on Amazon Freevee (H/TTom’s Guide). If you don’t have an Amazon Prime membership, then you’ll need to download Freevee separately in the App Store on your mobile device or Smart TV. If you already have a Prime membership, then the Freevee app is already included. Freevee is home to several Amazon Originals, such as Bosch: Legacy and Jury Duty. and a plethora of free movies such as Cruel Intentions,Atomic Blonde, andStephen King’s The Mist.
The film, which was, in fact, shot on a Super 8 camera except for the sequences that required CGI, grossed $260 million against a budget of only $50 million. The sci-fi thriller currently holds a Rotten Tomatoes Fresh rating of 81%, with some critics likening it to ’80s coming-of-age-tales like Standy by Me, E.T., and The Goonies (which is fitting given that the film was produced by Steven Spielberg).
“To work with Steven, which was something I always wanted to do, and have it be as educational and rewarding and fun as it was, I feel like I just dodged the biggest bullet in my life. Working with your hero, if it ends badly, it’s a scar for life. So the fact that it ended well was a real relief,” Abbrams previously toldEntertainment Weekly.
