Close Encounters Of The Third Kind

I'm a little ashamed of myself for not having watched this movie sooner. I know its far from new, in fact it is a classic. I am a huge fan of aliens, UFO's, and government cover-ups. This is like the grandfather of X-Files, which in my opinion is the best TV series. But that's not what I'm reviewing now is it. I thought this movie was great. Between showing the psychological stress that humans would go through when involved in such a situation and the effects of having been aboard an alien vessel for so many years. I like the way they use music as a common ground and basic form of communication. Though I feel that it would be more likely they would understand mathematical diagrams more so than sound. But that's just me. The movie clocks in at just over 2 hours which feels a little lengthy but its totally worth it. The design of the space crafts are astounding considering the time period the movie was made. It was a light hearted alien movie whereas most turn to horror stories once our race comes into contact with theirs, this one remained peaceful. Overall I would probably give this movie a 4.5 out of 5. I think it was a nearly perfect movie all things considered, but the story tends to make unnecessary jumps to topics not relevant to the story line. Cutting those would have strengthened the movie overall.

I was excited about this movie as it looked like a couple dudes sat down and wrote down what would make a sweet movie, hot girls in school uniforms, ninjas, robots, guns, dragons, etc. The works. So i took it at that. Just a good time movie. Which didnt leave me disappointed . The story line is alright, but a little unclear. Upon first viewing of the movie I'm not sure i understood all that happened. So dont expect it to be that simple. However, the music was brilliant. There was an obvious theme of detachment from reality present in the song choice. Including things like "Where is my mind" by the pixies. A personal favorite. But they have their own twist on the music to match the tone of the movie. Overall the movie gets a 4 out of 5 with me. Plus the main actor is the girl from series of unfortunate events. Which I had a huge crush on back in the day.
