Great Spielberg On BLU-RAY.......2007-09-12
Close Encounters is a superb Speilberg film and this is his first film presented on high defintion disc. This BLU-RAY disc should look and sound fantastic. A fine film with state of the art special effects, and a wonderful John Williams score on the best High Definition format-BLU-RAY. A must buy regardless of price by anyone who loves movies in High Def.
5 Star Movie + 1 Star Price = 3 Star Review.......2007-09-10
Really, the title says it all. Close Encounters of the Third Kind is one the all-time great films and certainly deserves to be release in hi-def. However, when will the studios "get it" and realize that they are never going to get the consumer to move to hi-def en masse until they start offering titles at more user-friendly prices?

Amazon.com essential video
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
Customer Reviews:
GOOD RIDDANCE TO A TOAD OF A HUSBAND.......2007-08-19
If I had a husband that lost his job, didnt look for new work to support his family, trashes my kitchen, argues with me in front of our three kids, runs off to passionately kiss a single mom, then hops aboard a UFO, GOOD RIDDANCE!
The ending of the film should have been the aliens harvasting his organs. They wanted to know what a lousy earth husband was made of.
One of the best Sci-Fi movies ever........2007-08-16
This is definitely one of the best Sci-Fi movies ever. Steven Spielberg has given us many Sci-Fi movies and his first is still arguably his best. The "Collector Edition" of Close Encouters of the Third Kind presents us with the third version of the 1977 hit.
This is an absolutely wonderful movie and DVD. It is presented in its original theatrical aspect ratio, although this edition was not the one originally in theatres. On top of that, it is a wonderful Two Disc Edition, with features that everyone could love.
It includes a feauturette, clocking in at 102 minutes, is a movie itself. It is entitled "Watch the Skies". It also includes a second feauturette and a beavy of deleted scenes, 11 in total. I suggest you pick this up. You could always wait for the Definitive Three Disc Edition, but if you're hard up on cash, I suggest this one. You will not be disappointed. It's an excellent film.
Great Family Flick.......2007-08-14
I remember watching this as a child with my family. I have continued this practice by sharing it with my children. They were fascinated by it!
When You Wish Upon A Star.......2007-08-14
When you wish upon a star, makes no difference who you are, anything your heart desires will come to you.
Close Encounters Of The Third Kind is the journey of Roy Neary. Roy Neary is a dreamer, stuck in the mundane craziness of everyday life. One night Roy sees something that changes his life, he has a Close Encounter with something unexplainable.
Roy's life goes into an tailspin. He loses many things that are dear to him in his search for truth, his curiosity becomes an obsession. Roy begins to see the shape of a mountain in pillows, in shaving cream, and seems to be falling apart at the seams.
This Close Encounter has changed Roy Neary's life, and that of those who are featured along his journey. This film has stood the test of time for thirty years, and is a testament to the talent of Steven Spielberg.
This film, along with Star Wars revolutionized not only special effects but blockbusters in general. I've never seen another film that weaves both music and special effects so beautifully.
If you haven't seen this classic and timeless film, please take the time to do so. It is an experience that you will never forget.
Like a bolt out of the blue, fate steps in and sees you thru
When you wish upon a star, your dreams come true.
Close Encounters Good Movie.......2007-08-11
I had seen this movie years ago but really enjoyed watching it again and sharing it with my grandchildren.

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

GOOD RIDDANCE TO A TOAD OF A HUSBAND.......2007-08-19
If I had a husband that lost his job, didnt look for new work to support his family, trashes my kitchen, argues with me in front of our three kids, runs off to passionately kiss a single mom, then hops aboard a UFO, GOOD RIDDANCE!
The ending of the film should have been the aliens harvasting his organs. They wanted to know what a lousy earth husband was made of.
One of the best Sci-Fi movies ever........2007-08-16
This is definitely one of the best Sci-Fi movies ever. Steven Spielberg has given us many Sci-Fi movies and his first is still arguably his best. The "Collector Edition" of Close Encouters of the Third Kind presents us with the third version of the 1977 hit.
This is an absolutely wonderful movie and DVD. It is presented in its original theatrical aspect ratio, although this edition was not the one originally in theatres. On top of that, it is a wonderful Two Disc Edition, with features that everyone could love.
It includes a feauturette, clocking in at 102 minutes, is a movie itself. It is entitled "Watch the Skies". It also includes a second feauturette and a beavy of deleted scenes, 11 in total. I suggest you pick this up. You could always wait for the Definitive Three Disc Edition, but if you're hard up on cash, I suggest this one. You will not be disappointed. It's an excellent film.
Great Family Flick.......2007-08-14
I remember watching this as a child with my family. I have continued this practice by sharing it with my children. They were fascinated by it!
When You Wish Upon A Star.......2007-08-14
When you wish upon a star, makes no difference who you are, anything your heart desires will come to you.
Close Encounters Of The Third Kind is the journey of Roy Neary. Roy Neary is a dreamer, stuck in the mundane craziness of everyday life. One night Roy sees something that changes his life, he has a Close Encounter with something unexplainable.
Roy's life goes into an tailspin. He loses many things that are dear to him in his search for truth, his curiosity becomes an obsession. Roy begins to see the shape of a mountain in pillows, in shaving cream, and seems to be falling apart at the seams.
This Close Encounter has changed Roy Neary's life, and that of those who are featured along his journey. This film has stood the test of time for thirty years, and is a testament to the talent of Steven Spielberg.
This film, along with Star Wars revolutionized not only special effects but blockbusters in general. I've never seen another film that weaves both music and special effects so beautifully.
If you haven't seen this classic and timeless film, please take the time to do so. It is an experience that you will never forget.
Like a bolt out of the blue, fate steps in and sees you thru
When you wish upon a star, your dreams come true.
