Its critical acclaim has gathered large numbers of people to mark this as a classic great movie. Close Encounters to me isnt a great movie but satisfying. Ive seen way better by Spielberg although the large number of people will class this as one of the very best of Mr Spielberg himself.

, I find that questionable. Yes I did enjoy the special effects, costume designs and the well created models it has and maybe the plot about humans interacting with aliens, I found that intresting and good storytelling, however I felt it dragged and it felt longer then its duration, the ending is understandable but kind of dissapoints.

Quite enjoyable though before the end and felt confort most of the time, some good stuff, but indeed something was missing to piece what in my mind noted as a masterpiece, but isnt.
