Movie Review: A sci-fi classic now on Blu-Ray!
Summary: 5 Stars
In a town in Indiana, Roy Neary (Richard Dreyfuss) while investigating a strange power outage in the town he witnesses a UFO that flies above him and gives him a special sunburn as proof. His wife and kids think he's nuts especially hearing strange musical notes in his head from that experience and becomes obsessed with what he's seen. A single mother named Jillian (Melinda Clarke) who's son was abducted by a UFO also helps with Roy and other ones that have encountered the strange Unidentified Flying Object especially French researcher Claude Lacombe (Francois Trauffaut) has a believe that music can be a language of the strange beings. The witnesses including the government and researchers head to Devil's Peak in Wyoming to make a special meeting place to meet the alien beings.
A magical, intelligent and stunning Sci-fi drama adventure from Steven Spielburg is a philosphial and unique motion picture experience. The performances by the cast are outstanding and the special effects that still outstand including the film's originally thanks to the magic of Steven Spielburg. This movie was a large labor of love for the writer-director but it was worth it to bring a fantastical and smart story to the big screen in a successful way, it made audiences believe in UFOs and if we are alone in the galaxy.
This 2-Disc Blu-Ray set is incredible! this has quality picture and superb sound quality. This set has three versions like the original version, 1980 special edition and Director's cut with great extras like three featurettes, deleted scenes, storyboard comparision & Gallery, Location Scouting Pictures, Behind The Scenes pics, Production Team gallery, Portrait Gallery, Marketing gallery on both original and special editions and Trailers to all three versions.
This is a must have Blu-Ray for fans of Sci-fi and cinema everywhere! this is one movie to truly experience better on Blu-Ray.
Movie Review: Keep The Original !!
Summary: 5 Stars
Well , 30 years after it's initial theatrical release Close Encounters of the Third Kind is now available with a 3 disc dvd format collectors edition. I saw the Original theatrical release in 1977 and that is the version that i believe is by far the best . I never liked the 1980 special edition , that ended up cutting some scenes and replacing it with some others. For instance "The dopey scene when Dreyfuss is sitting in his bathtub fully clothed with the shower drenching himself !! And they also cut the scene when Melinda Dillon , Dreyfuss and other folks go to government officials with their stories and have a Press conference was cut out from the 1977 version. Spielberg himself said he never wanted to show the ending with Dreyfuss entering the spaceship but was forced to. Spielberg then came back in 1998 to yet once again re-do this classic film by eliminating the ending from the 1980 special edition. I have kept the 1977 original theatrical release disc and gotten rid of the other two. I love the original version. It seems so much more pure and one of the funniest scenes in the film with Dreyfuss digging up his garden and throwing rocks and plants and chicken wire and his ladder through his kitchen window with neighbors watching so he could build his own copy of the Devil's Tower in his own living room which was of course the pre-determined meeting place with the UFO'S is hilarious and was cut out of both the 1980 and 1998 versions. KEEP THE ORIGINAL !!! Also , I never liked when Star Wars (1977) was screwed around with in 1997 with them adding some footage which i never liked either and when They came out with the 2 disc collectors edition I also kept the Original Version disc and got rid of the special edition !Movie Review: It made no sense...
Summary: 1 Stars
...I watched it at school, and everyone in my class was either sleeping or scratching their heads in confusion. I just don't understand why Spielberg made this movie...along the way, people started talking in random languages (pardon me for being vague, I don't remember WHICH languages) and, well...it was just weird. Why did they? I have no idea. The ending just baffled me...*spoiler* why did he walk onto the spaceship? HUH? Maybe I was just having a bad day, but it really made no sense to me. I was alternating between bored and frustrated at not understanding the 'plotline'.
Quite a poor effort, conclusively...this movie was weak.
Movie Review: Close Encounters
Summary: 4 Stars
Very good transfer to BD, although I think a little more scrubbing would've made it even better. Great movie, sound is good, and really fun to watch.Movie Review: Can't get it to play
Summary: 1 Stars
I've rented more than 30 movies from Unbox, and all of them played fine except this one. An email exchange with support recommended upgrading Windows Media Player - which I did - but it still wouldn't play. I really wanted to see this movie and I'm disappointed that whatever DRM Amazon is using in this movie doesn't seem compatible with the player.
