Spielberg's Purest and best Film next to Jaws!?

This is an all time classic in my opinion. Any serious film fan would already have this on the double disc dvd version, but if you really want one of the best visual discs on your full hd tv, buy this blu-ray version.
The transfer is astonishing crisp and sharp on this lovingly packaged BD. You get the theatrical release version, the special edition, and the director's cut of the film all in gloriously 1080P. You also get a lovely gatefold box set with these discs packed with an exclusive booklet and poster! Lovely stuff!
This was Spielberg at his purest, when sentiment wasn't overdone, but served a reason in his films. It's also interesting to note, that similar to E.T., there are no real bad guys in the movie, just a terrific sense of awe, wonder and innocence that have been sorely missed in Spielberg's more recent films.
Great film! blu ray not the best!

Before i start, i love this film and i know how old it is but there is some awesome scenes in this blu ray that look amazing! and then there is some that just look plain bad!
I understand its harder to perfect older films but i also own blade runner which just looks great in blu ray and has no faults in my humble opinion. So why such big differences, who knows?
The sound is amazing, its as though the aliens are landing in your home lol!
Its worth a buy but be aware the picture quality is grainy is some parts and amazing in others!
Movie 10/10
blu ray 7/10

You could not ask for a better HD set, the picture quality is great and the extras are well worth having if you are a close encounters fan!
