Are we supposed to like the main character of this film? At the beginning he has a wife and 3 kids, by the end spoiler I didn't experience as much wonderment watching this film as I expected. I much prefer the swashbuckling space adventure flick that came out the same year.

This is a movie to talk about after seeing it.

Love Spielberg's vision.

Although the graphics are impressive for the time period it was made, this movie failed to impress me. The characters were mostly unlikable, it was too chaotic and noisy, and it was irritably slow-paced.
Also, most annoying kids. EVER.

This is not my cup of tea.

I feel like there's no spielberg-esque characters here to make this a truly memorable flick. Rewatch value definitely suffers from this. Kind of drags in the middle as well.
On the plus side, the technical aspects were stunning. Many scenes were mesmerising due to the score and the visual setup. Editing was top notch as well. Where the story fell flat, the photography carried.
Kinda forgettable but technically enjoyable.

Not one of Spielbergs best imo. It had some pretty good scenes and jaw-dropping effects for 1977, but I didn't really enjoyed it as a hole.

Hey! Just like real life, where Richard Dreyfuss is a huge dick and abandons his wife and 3 children!

I cringed when that alien smiled. It's movie designed for small kids but I'm sure there are 100x better movies for kids out there.

Hadn't seen this movie in at least 25 years. Watched the Original version on Blu Ray. Entertaining, but not as good as I remembered. STill great effects, music and direction.

The third act is spectacular. It is the only reason I love this movie.

The first two acts suffer from the "Temple of Doom" syndrome of having repeating annoying, loud, and grating sounds, as well as characters screaming at each other constantly. It really hurts my enjoyment of this movie as i am constantly having my nerves frayed by what's happening on screen.

For some reason I don't like the Spielberg movies about aliens how I like other stuff from him.

If you hardly tolerate ufologists and guys who believe in goverment conspiracy this is definitely not your movie. Redneck ufologists' cornerstone.
