About this movie

Richard Dreyfuss stars as cable worker Roy Neary, who along with several other stunned bystanders experience a close encounter of the first kind - witnessing UFOs soaring across the sky. After this life-changing event, the inexplicable vision of a strange, mountain-like formation haunts him. He becomes obsessed with discovering what it represents, much to the dismay of his wife and family. Meanwhile, bizarre occurrences are happening around the world. Government agents have close encounters of the second kind - discovering physical evidence of extraterrestrial visitors in the form of a lost fighter aircraft from World War II and a stranded military ship that disappeared decades earlier only to suddenly reappear in unusual places. Roy continues to chase his vision to a remote area where he and the agents follow the clues that have drawn them to reach a site where they will have a close encounter of the third kind - contact.

a bit drawn out, but strong actors with roles that fit their acting abilities. remember seeing this at the theater. and the lead scientist is based on j.allen hynek. who consulted on the film while in charge of project blue book. so, maybe some truth mixed in with the movie.

A fairly decent movie I give it three stars but it deserves more as a drama it's a very good movie it has good computer graphics and I can't say it's a bad movie I don't like it but I don't love it.

I saw Spielberg's 30th anniversary upgrade E.T. also ... not much has changed especially no frequency matching like you use Winamp frequency modulator
