Movie Reviews of Close Encounters of the Third Kind (30th Anniversary Ultimate Edition) [Blu-ray]
Movie Review: Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
Bought for my grandfather and he said it came quickly and he is very happy with the quality of the video.Movie Review: Trumbull and Williams
Summary: 1 Stars
The idea of an "everyman" confronting aliens is a great plot device, but Spielberg's ham fisted direction sinks this project. It COULD have been a classic. I was rather taken with it back when it played first-run, but now I can see that the effects work of Doug Trumbull and the music of John Williams were what really kept this afloat initially. Also, this blu-ray looks grainier than the theatrical presentation.Movie Review: Three versions of a sci-fi classic in one DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
I never imagined that one day I would have the three versions of this sci-fi classic with such amazing quality of image and sound. Well, now I have them and, if you are a big fan of this movie as I am, you should buy it too. Movie Review: A magical Spielberg story
Summary: 5 Stars
Close Encounters is one of those Spielberg movies where you can really feel the magic. It isn't a downer, and it isn't the kind of movie that makes you think about the world's problems. Even the US government seems to have the best intentions when it comes to the aliens. The whole movie wears a little smirk on it's face. Masterfully done, Encounters has some simple but effective visual effects and a emotional and powerful soundtrack. The casting is good considering it was early in the careers of several of the people involved. Richard Dreyfuss plays his character perfectly. Roy Neary is a regular joe that suddenly is confronted with some life changing events that he can't understand. The messages that he is getting in his head confuse him all the more and Dreyfuss does a perfect job of illustrating that. The supporting cast turns in good performances as well and really give the impression that you are watching a documentary rather than a work of fiction. The best parts of the movie in my opinion is when they are showing you clips from around the world of different UFO encounters and the research team finding evidence of an alien presence. When they're in the Mongolian desert and they find the freighter Cotopoxi. The same ship that was lost for real in the Bermuda Triangle. It still gives me chills. They slowly pan across and you see a huge ship sitting in the middle of the sand. Oooooh man, great shot. Bottom Line: This is another one of Spielberg's classics. You must get it on DVD for the multitude of extras that are on the 2 disc set. If you haven't seen it yet and you like either UFO's and/or Spielberg, you won't be disappointed.Movie Review: Movie: 3/5 Picture Quality: 4/5 Sound Quality: 4/5 Extras: 4.5/5
