The entire film is imbued with a sense of wonder. Conveys a sense for a hopeful future. I left the theater in 1977 in awe and peace.
Vintage Spielberg…crafts a great story without the need for heavy dialogue
Nicely filmed with a great last scene for 1977 (my favorite is Barry getting kidnapped). Could not really click with Dreyfuss tho
A great looking, evocative film, but the fanatic nature of Dreyfus’s character made it hard to completely engage.
Engaging with a lot of tension, mystery and creativity. Beautifully done.
Good movie, creatively shot, the third act is way too long though. Like i get it, there are aliens.
No words to describe this. Instant Steven Spielberg classic.
Fills you with a sense of wonder. It’s aged remarkably well, from pacing to special effects.
I think this is one of Spielbergs lesser known gems. It’s a GREAT movie. Highly recommend to anyone. It’s got great special effects.
I've lost count how many times I have seen this movie. When it first came out the special effects were outstanding.
