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.

Close Encounters of the Third Kind

Now this is a piece of history, I enjoyed it very much.

Me personally, I’m not the biggest Spielberg fan, but that’s just personal

One thing I can say about Spielberg, is that he never fails to create magical moments and environments, and that’s why he’s one of the greats, he brings ideas to life like no other.

Story wise I’m not the biggest of fans but it was great nonetheless

And the visuals? Amazing for the time and still amazing now.

visually stunning with cool special effects but man I just didn't like this movie.
