Stream it now Close Encounters of the Third Kind 1977

 

The classic sci-fi that made Steven Spileberg a household name.

One of my all-time favorite films. I remember seeing this in the theater with my parents....when I was only four.

"The Best there was, The Best there is, The Best ever will be..."

Spielberg's magnum opus. Just as great as it was in 1977, and the FX are still cutting edge. No one has done UFO's like this, ever. One of the top ten of all time.

This is a candidate for "stupidest movie ever made." No plot, no point, and a sappy ending that's even more idiotic than the rest of the movie. Too bad we don't have negative ratings, since this movie robs you of about two perfectly good hours that could have been spent doing something entertaining. The only reason I gave it 10% is that the silly slider won't accept zero.

Close Encounters of the Third Kind is a great movie that really is one of a kind, looking at a peaceful invasion rather then the normal violent invasion that often overtakes our screens.

Spielberg is definatly one of the best directors ever and he creates a film that allows us to fall into the intrigue that has over taken the characters of this film.

Richard Dreyfuss is awesome and he plays the self-centered father figure really well. Did anyone else feel a little annoyed that Roy Neary would leave the responsibilities of being a father and husband to be chosen by the aliens? To me that one scene of him being chosen created so many emotions in me that it made this film worth it and better than average.

It truly is a good film with some alright special effects for the time. Not as a good as E.T. but still a very decent Spielberg movie!

60-70% - Better than average with some great moments

Perhaps an awesome film back in the 70s, but today... it's just boring and look weird.

Richard is awesome! The movie is charming and entertaining but there are areas that could have been improved. With the weak links it's still superior to most films of it's genre today and a classic must see.

10/10
