Close Encounters of the Third Kind

I didn't mind the slow boil, and was intrigued, but I didn't really buy into the characters or enjoy journeying with them. Roy's character development and motivation for his choice are absent or unconvincing. I liked the air traffic control scene and the overall air of mystery at the beginning. The ending was really good and had some truly amazing shots (but also a bit creepy and uncreative in the alien designs). I appreciated the craft but not all of it worked for me... so it'd be between like and meh for me if I could.

If you want a movie that will leave you wondering how much time is left until you realize the slow pacing and poor writing will eventually lead to nothing…Look no further! The middle of the film is hard to watch and ultimately pointless.

All the positive reviews = nostalgia
5.5

After Jaws Spielberg made this wish was an flop then but I really had a good time watching this.
The effects was kind of impressive for being made in the 70s and the score was just incredible. But the first half was not so great as the second half.

8/10

rating: 🛸🛸🛸.5

imagine your dad running away and abandoning you to go live with aliens

very fun, very well paced, spielberg is just so whimsical i love him for that

This is a long long movie BUT I truly enjoyed watching it I really like the story and how insane the characters get towards the end. The hysterica.
