Still a classic movie and fun to watch after all these years. Sure, there are some parts that are a little "goofy", but since we really haven't made first contact yet,(that we know of)we really don't know what to expect. Lets just hope they're as friendly as the ones in the movie !
A big thumbs up from me !! |

This is another one of Spielberg's gems.See who actually made the contact,those shy aliens.Situations like this keep you guessing.But Spielberg was no fraud when it came to science fiction classic's.Would you have the guts to actually contact the alien,or perhaps get someone to do it for you.We would see then wouldn't we.Who has the answers huh,with all those advances those aliens had,they have nothing to fear.I dont think i would walk onto a spaceship with one,would you?
You should look into this,it's actually a great package. |

| This is a great transfer of this film. I may have gotten quirky copy, but I thought I would let folks know. When I watched it with the Dolby TrueHD soundtrack, it became out of sync with the picture starting with the first Richard Dreyfus scene with his family. This was during the "Theatrical Edition" version on the disc. Fortunately, this awesome version also includes the DTS HD soundtrack as well. So I just switched over to that audio and had no more problems. Again, I assume this is a fluke, since I have read no other posts about this. I just thought I would let people know about the "defect" and the quick fix. Other than that, I highly recommend this Blu Ray. It is an excellent transfer. Some of it can be a little grainy, but it IS 30 years old. The sound is phenomenal! The spaceship scenes really put your subwoofer through its paces. |

This turned out to be a childhood favorite of mine. Back in the late 90's, I was obssessed with Spielberg's sci-fi classic, Close Encounters of the Third Kind. I admired the "brilliant" UFO designs, and the stunning performance of Richard Dreyfuss. Now, I can see that this film hasn't experienced any wear and tear, except maybe the commercial products that were used in the film. The special effects are still mesmerizing, the characters are still engaging, and even though I'm a fan of John Williams, the otherworldly music is still spectacular. Francois Truffaut steals the show as Claude Lacombe, but Dreyfuss is also worthy of mention. He plays Roy Neary, a man who has just had a "close encounter" with a trio of unidentified flying objects, and is becoming increasingly obssessive with a mountain-like shape that he seems to see in everyday objects. He should have won the oscar for this film, instead of "The Goodbye Girl."
Thank goodness that Star Wars, which was released in theaters in the same year, didn't overshadow this arguably important sci-fi film. It's one of the greatest sci-fi films ever made, and it one of my favorites alongside 2001: A Space Odyssey & John Carpenter's The Thing.
