Synopsis
Written and directed by J.J. Abrams, “Super 8” is an American science fiction film focusing on a group of friends living in Ohio who witness a destructive train crash while making a low budget zombie movie using a Super 8 film. Produced by Steven Spielberg, the setting of “Super 8” is in the summer of 1979.
After the train crash, inexplicable events begin to transpire such as the unusual disappearances of people, pets, and appliances. Such occurrences give the children enough reason to suspect that the train crash is not an accident. The children in the cast include Elle Fanning, Joel Courtney, Ryan Lee, Zach Mills, Riley Griffiths, and Gabriel Basso.
The crash involves biology teacher Dr. Woodward (Glynn Turman) whose intention for driving towards an oncoming train is to release an extraterrestrial that has been imprisoned and tortured by the U.S. Air Force since 1958. The case is handled by the deputy, portrayed by Kyle Chandler.
Abrams succeeds in incorporating humor, drama, and love triangle in this sci-fi flick.

Director’s Club
The Director’s Club used to be available for private functions only until the SM Cinema management decided to open it to the public for regular film showings. Priced at Php350.00 per movie ticket, moviegoers are guaranteed to have an ultimate movie experience with the state-of-the-art screen, digital surround sound system, and La-Z Boy armchairs with side tables. One movie ticket also includes free popcorn and drinks.
With 30 luxurious La-Z Boy armchairs, the extraordinary venue and intimate setting make the Director's Club an ideal place to hold various types of events such as corporate seminars, product launches, and conferences. Aside from corporate events, the Director's Club may also be used to conduct birthdays and other types of parties and celebrations. Parents may even use the venue to hold a "film-showing" event for their children instead of organizing a typical children's party for them. The Director's Club owns a wide library of movie titles from action to comedy to drama. Private functions may be conducted for a minimum of four hours. For more information, please call the MOA Cinema Office at 556-0104 to 05 / 556-2314 or e-mail at directorsclub@smsupermalls.com or sales@smcinema.com._______________________________________
