Close Encounters Of The Third Kind is director Steven Spielberg's mesmerizing movie about Earth's encounter with spaceships and alien beings as experienced by one ordinary man.

Richard Dreyfuss is Roy Neary, a man who, after encountering an unexplainable phenomenon one night, becomes obsessed with discovering more, to the dismay of his wife (Teri Garr) and family.

Legendary French filmmaker François Truffaut plays the head of a government agency hoping to attract the aliens to an isolated mountaintop in this unforgettable sci-fi thriller.

where do i begin when describing how great this blu-ray version of the movie is?!!! how about the fact that in the original version..when it originally was released i could not even read license plates yet in this version i can do just that AND read the name tags on the miltary personnel! this was and still is one of the best blu-ray titles i own...i would thoroughly recommend it to anyone.

I have bought the Region 1 version as it comes with a poster and tells you what as been edited on the 3 versions of the film.

The Region 1 version is a bit more money but worth every penny and its confirmed as Region free.

If you have a great surround then check out the scene where Roy Neary first encounters a UFO in his pick-up truck it delivers some of the most intense low bass I've ever heard on a home theater mix.

 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

 Spielberg at his best and great packaging!

Close Encounters Of The Third Kind came out the same year as Star Wars: New Hope in 1977 and two years before Alien which was in 1979. Out of the three films I feel Close Encounters has aged the most and isn't such an enjoyable film but, still is fantastic in it's own right. The U.F.O.'s look great for when the film was made over thirty years ago especially the Mothership. 95% of the Blu-ray transfer is spot on and the other 5% is a little bit grainy. The amount of bass from this film in surround sound is defying!
The packaging for Close Encounters is most excellent which is in a nice slip case with a large booklet and a poster too. There are three different versions of the film on the first disc and on the scond disc lots of interesting bonus features to do with the making of Close Encounters. All in all worth buying if you love Si-Fi and the ending is so terrific it's worth it for that alone!

 Great Film and even better extras

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!
