Review of Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977) by Joshua "Lf" M — 13 Aug 2012

I loved this movie, I was half way threw it and I thought that it was the greatest speilberg movie ever...until the ending. I didnt like how they had dreyuss go on the mother ship so willing. I loved how they had it play into the unknown and the pariniona by dreyfuss character and how he drove himself crazy and his famly away over this unkonw thing.

I like how they had made mother ship and the humans make contact threw the colors and sound. I hated how you saw the aliens and how they became like friends with the humans in a sense.i felt that seeing the aliens was just for the true sci-fi fans, which is ok, which I had some fun out of.

I thought that at the end the mother ship should have left and the humans would have been left with nothing more then the knowing that there is something else out there and that they made contact. after that I though that dreyfuss should have been driving home and had the feeling of the unknown and the parinoia and that feeling of never knowng and having to live with it.

or the mother ship should have taken him well he was driving but he would be so frigtened and scared to go, because just like real life we want to know so bad about the unknow but were so scared of it.

I felt that the movie was amazing the special effects dazzled me same as the acting by the entire cast escpessially the little boy and dreyfuss. speilbergs directing was amzing for a few moments and scences of the devils tower you felt like you were watching a cecil B demille film.

I loved his directing but found his writting to be weak at the ending. overall I wil give it 5 stars but feel it could be a better movie the way I saw it. even though it is still a classic.
