## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Iconic Sci-Fi Movie Probably best left alone.
            
*by S***R on 27 March 2019*

Spielberg was always unhappy with a) the original version - wanting a later release so he could have another 6 months to edit it to perfection... and b) the 2nd version (studio version) because he so disliked the shots inside the mother ship at the end.So finally, years later, we end up with this. Supposedly what Spielberg always wanted.Is it perfection?No. No it's not.Some parts no longer flow - editing for editing's sake.It has the look of a movie, and I stress... only in parts, where the vision has been lost.I must confess, the studio's version was perfection for me. I was more than willing to be sucked into the glitz of the mother ships interior.Having said all this, Close Encounters is a spine tingling and astonishing beautiful work of art no matter which version watch.
  

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One for the SF Enthusiast's collection
            
*by R***S on 18 November 2016*

The first time I saw this in the cinema the sound was awful and the number of people all around eating popcorn and crisps talking and slurping all through the film completely ruined it for me.  What a mistake on my part.But then I saw it on TV in the peace of home, and knew I had to buy the DVD, and fortunately in 2003 this was long enough after the initial release to be able to buy this two disc Collectors Edition with almost all the cut/restored/edited scenes somewhere in the package if not in the film itself, and here the film has the correct ending.The surround sound is excellent (especially when turned up loud) and the imagery in the superb photography is captivating.  The acting is excellent supporting the story brilliantly.If I did not already own this DVD I would be buying the Blu-Ray version now, because that offers even more in the way of extras and restored scenes with a genuine improvement in the picture quality.
  

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ CLOSE ENCOUNTERS 2 DISC SPECIAL EDITION 2007 BLU RAY
            
*by A***N on 2 March 2019*

Some of the reviews here on Amazon are confusing to say the least. Different versions of the BluRay, and reviews for a book about "Game of Thrones". To be clear...This review is for the BluRay 2007 release with the silvery front cover, not the "mother ship" multi coloured front page from 2012. I have to say that for a BluRay for such a classic well known film the quality is disapointing. Yes, it is very good in a good DVD kind of way, but, somehow I expected better. Perfectly acceptable and a good Panavision transfer, bars top and bottom, good sound and variable subtitles (not always clear when on a bright background, but my wife managed). I watched the Theatrical Version, so can't comment on "Special Edition" or Director's cut (tho I have seen Director's Cut on DVD and prefer the theatrical version). Loads of extras but, sorry, not seen yet. On seeing this back in it's original Cinema release, I was left genuinely speechless. The whole film had a profound effect on me, but watching it now some 40 odd years later it wassn't quite so wonderful. My problem was Dreyfus and the way his character was written especially the "Devil's Horn" sequence in his house. Terri Garr, who I love, seemed to be half asleep, but the rest of the cast were all good. I still find the appearence of the "Mother Ship" to be mindblowing, and this last 30 minutes or so make the whole film still well worth watching. After all, it was, then, a hit, and it still is a classic of the genre, and it is a good VFM price.
