Review of Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977) by David L — 23 Jul 2015
It has so-so characterization and it is very slow and way too long for such a simplistic story, but close Encounters of the Third Kind largely does succeed mostly thanks to its stunning visual effects for the time, aliens' peaceful nature which was very original (if the design is anything but), very good directing, fine music and one of the most memorable, powerful and iconic endings for the genre.
It is very flawed, but it is still an entertaining and even moving film that is one of my favorite movies from the director I am usually not a big fan of.
