A MUST SEE, WATCH THE SKIES!!Review created: 10/08/08

IF YOU LOVE SPIELBERG FILMS AND IF YOU, LIKE ME, THINK CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND IS HIS BEST THEN THIS IS A MUST SEE.
NOT ONLY DO YOU GET THE COLLECTORS EDITION AND THE DIRECTORS CUT BUT YOU GET THE FANTASTIC THEATRICAL EDITION AS WELL. THIS VERSION HAS PREVIOUSLY ONLY BEEN RELEASED ON THE LASER DISC.
IF YOU ARE LIKE ME AND YOU WATCH THIS FILM AT LEAST THREE TIMES A WEEK THEN THIS IS THE VERSION TO BUY.
A THREE DISC FOLD OUT DVD SET WITH A 30TH ANNIVERSARY BOOK AND PROMO POSTER THIS IS A MUST FOR ANY SPIELBERG OR CLOSE ENCOUNTER FAN.
ENJOY AND WATCH THE SKIES.

CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THIRD KIND-SPIELBERG AT HIS BESTReview created: 12/03/08(updated 17/03/08)
by:
STEVEN SPIELBERG HAS PLAYED WITH THIS MOVIE OVER THE YEARS-3 VERSIONS, BUT ONLY IN 1997 DID SPIELBERG FEEL HE GOT IT RIGHT.
THE MULTIPLE VERSION RELEASE THAT GOT RELEASED OVER THE XMAS PERIOD IS A TREASURE TROVE FOR SPELBERG FANS CONTAINING:
1,ORIGINAL THEATRICAL VERSION-RUSH RELEASED BY SPIELBERG TO MEET HIS RELEASE DEADLINE.
2, VERSION 2-ROY NEARY(RICHARD DREYFUS) GOES INSIDE THE SPACESHIP-THIS WAS FORCED ON SPIELBERG BY COLUMBIA STUDIOS TO PAY FOR FURTHER SHOOTING, AND A SHIP FOUND IN THE GOBI DESERT.
3, NEARY DOSENT GO INTO THE SPACESHIP, MANY DOMESTIC SCENES RECUT AND FINE TUNED.
THIS WAS SPIELBERGS LAST GOOD FILM BEFORE "1941" NEARLY DERAILED HIS CAREER-THIS THOUGH IS THE GENUINE CLASSIC SPIELBERG-STUNNING USE IF CINEMATOGRAPHERS-CEOK IS CREDITED WITH MORE DOPS THAN ANY OTHER MOTION PICTURE (BEFORE OR SINCE), AND ITS EXTENSIVE-IN INDIA AND THROUGHOUT THE U.S.A SHOOT, AND THE STUNNING FINALE.
SPIELBERG BUILDS TENSION AND HUMOUR THROUGHOUT THE MOVIE, WITH ROY NEARY SEEING UFOS, AND NOT EVEN HIS WIFE BELIEVING HIM,HE IS VERY MUCH THE BLUE COLLAR HERO (TYPICALLY IN A SPIELBERG MOVIE), HE IS IN THE WRONG PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME.
THE GOVERNMENT ARE ALSO INVOLVED IN COVERING-UP THE UFOS, AND TO ARRANGE A MEETING WITH THE ETS (NO PUN INTENDED).
SPIELBERG ALSO REINS IN A LARGE CAST OF CHARACTERS-NEARY , HIS WIFE ,THE INTERPRETER, LACOMBE(THE FRENCHMAN) PLAYED BY FRANCOIS TRUFFANT, AND VARIOUS MILITARY TYPES.THE MOVIE IS LITTERED WITH FUNNY SCENES-TRASHING THE GOVERNOVERS "GLOBE", ROY TRASHING HIS AND THE NIEGHBOURS GARDEN, A GREAT (AND CLASSIC )VISUAL JOKE INVOLVING CAR HEADLIGHTS.
