The Close Encounters Of The Third Kind BD review thread

[goodstuff]

Damn, this is looking to be a sweet-ass BD

[Neo65]

It's a serious scifi that belongs in any collector's shelves. But it's not a heavy action laden blockbuster that will please most people. I predict that serious movie collectors (how ever many or few there are of us) will find this one irresistible.

Actually, I found this to be one of Bracke's very best reviews so far, regardless of the star grading.

It should be in the collection of any serious Sci Fi buff or Movie lovers. IMHO... of course The pace in the 70 was different that today, this is very realistic look at the alien phenomenon...

[Digital Filmmaker]

I cant imagine any serious Blu-ray Disc collector not wanting a copy of CE3K.

I don't really care about the pace as much as making movie that are intelligent. CEotTK is a smart film as is 2001 and that's why both are sci-fi classics that any collector should own.

Nice Review Josh, I ve never seen Close Encounters before, but now I just might have to get it because there is so much hype around it.

Excellent review.

As my avatar implies, this to me is one of the most important releases on Blu-ray. It's a joy to read Sony has hit a home run.

Sony, Dinsey and Fox are playing a beautiful game of one-upmanship for us. I haven't had this much fun with releases since LaserDisc special edition days.

Great review Josh. Can't wait to pick this one up, it's one of my all-time favorites.

[Fred333]

Looks like a great addition to my collection. Can't wait.

Hey Josh, does the fold-out thing showing the different edits have a repro. of the orig. one-sheet on the other side?

The insert has the timeline with differences on one side and the original (at least, I think its the original) movie poster on the other.

Another thing I didn't note, because no one will get them except reviewers (I think), is that I got a pair of Aviator sunglasses with a printing of the landing scene glued on the lenses.

Never seen it before? Damn, how old are you...like ten or something?

[Dave Hull]

HA HA HA

I was ten when I first seen it (1977) and have pre ordered it

[Agent23]

I haven't seen this movie in a looong time. And, honestly I hardly remember it. I was a kid when I saw it...



But, I will definitely be purchasing Close Encounters on Blu-Ray on Tuesday and hopefully watching it later that night.

[Caligula]

My wife have never seen it before? I asked her if she was kidding becuse its one of the best movie ever! Unfortuately that she replied "No, what was it about?" I said nothing because she needs to see it... Well, I downloaded trailer on ps3 few days ago and she said we will be buying it on tuesday.. Got any idea how much it would cost at best buy? I expect 34.99

[Blu Titan]

Bracke seem too like it a lot too
