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

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 ... Read More

I remember seeing movie when I was 13, and was just floored at the special effects, and the story. Then in 1980, they came out with the "Special Edition", the version where they show show the inside of the Mother Ship, and I thought, "that was total crap!" Never really looked for the original version, but I remember the S.E. was about the only one out on VHS.
Watched the Blu-Ray Original version last night, and all I can say is WOW. Excellent picture, excellent sound, and excellent memories. If ... Read More

i saw this film last night for the first time since childhood, and the movie itself was better than my very-positive memory of it! i watched the original 1977 version, and it was on a relatively large screen - at the red vic in san francisco - which i recommend highly
unlike more recent computer-generated "eye-gasm" style sci-fi flicks, CEOTTK begs us to fill in the gaps with the wonder of our imaginations - and then surprises/relieves us with each resolution and new question - such a ride! ... Read More

This item is clearly stated by Amazon to be the DVD-Audio of the SOUNDTRACK, yet almost all the reviews treat it as if it were a DVD of the MOVIE.
