Movie Reviews of Close Encounters of the Third Kind (30th Anniversary Ultimate Edition) [Blu-ray]

Movie Review: Still Rocks after 30 yrs.
Summary: 4 Stars

We watched the 30 yr Anniversary Edition (1998 Director's Cut). I have the LaserDisc of the Special Edition which I last saw probably 15 yrs ago on our old 37" TV. This product on our new 47" HDTV just blew that away. Just like going to the movies except no popcorn. HDTV and Blu-ray are made for each other. This product includes all three releases of the movie including the original theatrical version. I don't own many movies, prefer to rent, but this and a few others will find a place in my blu-ray library.

Summary of Close Encounters of the Third Kind (30th Anniversary Ultimate Edition) [Blu-ray]

No Description Available.
Genre: Science Fiction
Rating: PG
Release Date: 13-NOV-2007
Media Type: Blu-Ray

Anybody who has written him off because of his string of stinkers--or anybody who's too young to remember The Goodbye Girl--may be shocked at the accomplishment and nuance of Richard Dreyfuss's performance in Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Here, he plays a man possessed; contacted by aliens, he (along with other members of the "chosen") is drawn toward the site of the incipient landing: Devil's Tower, in rural Wyoming. As in many Spielberg films, there are no personalized enemies; the struggle is between those who have been called and a scientific establishment that seeks to protect them by keeping them away from the arriving spacecraft. The ship, and the special effects in general, are every bit as jaw-dropping on the small screen as they were in the theater (well, almost). Released in 1977 as a cerebral alternative to the swashbuckling science fiction epics then in vogue, Close Encounters now seems almost wholesome in its representation of alien contact and interested less in philosophizing about extraterrestrials than it is in examining the nature of the inner "call." Ultimately a motion picture about the obsession of the driven artist or determined visionary, Close Encounters comes complete with the stock Spielberg wives and girlfriends who seek to tether the dreamy, possessed protagonists to the more mundane concerns of the everyday. So a spectacular, seminal motion picture indeed, but one with gender politics that are all too terrestrial. --Miles Bethany
