Synopsis:
Close Encounters of the Third Kind is Steven Spielberg's
extraordinary film about a man named Roy Neary (Richard Dreyfuss)
who becomes obsessed with meeting extraterrestrials after
encountering a UFO on an abandoned road one night. Against the
wishes of his wife (Teri Garr) and children, Neary, along with
another witness to the sighting (Melinda Dillon), travels to a
mysterious mountain where the government has built a landing strip
hoping to attract the aliens. Director François Truffaut co-stars as
Claude Lacombe, one of the organizers of the project. Spielberg
hoped to follow up the huge success of Jaws with a low-budget film
that would be an easy shoot, but, thanks in part to the complicated
special effects, Close Encounters quickly snowballed into being an
expensive endeavour but a commercial and artistic success. No one
who has seen the film has ever looked at a plate of mashed potatoes
the same way again.
Editorial Review:
The first Steven Spielberg film to arrive on a high definition
format, there’s something fittingly comprehensive about the Blu-ray
release of Close Encounters of the Third Kind that befits such a
strong, high-profile disc.
The reason for that is that three
different cuts of Close Encounters are presented in this terrific
set; there’s the original cinematic version that debuted in 1977,
the different cut that surfaced in the 80s, and Spielberg’s final
take on the film from the late 90s. It’s arguable that each of the
three has its highs and lows, and there’s something fascinating
about comparing the trio too.
As for the film itself? Close Encounters is the terrific tale of
Richard Dreyfuss’ Roy Neary, who discovers a UFO in the middle of
the night. Co-starring Teri Garr, Francois Truffaut and Melinda
Dillon, the film then follows the attempt to bring the aliens to
Earth, and--coupled with terrific special effects, particularly for
the era--Close Encounters is rightly regarded as a deserved classic.
The Blu-ray release is also spectacular, partly for the
comprehensive nature of the package, but also down to the gleaming
audio and picture quality. It may not be the highest profile
Spielberg movie, and there’s certainly a deep back catalogue calling
out for the high-definition treatment. But don’t let that blind you:
Close Encounters is an absolute treat, and this is the best way
outside of a cinema to enjoy it. --Jon Foster
