CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND Returning To Theaters
- Thread starter CessnaDriver
- Start date
I don't think it'll hit the drive-in's (least, not here) but I'll be sure to catch this in the theaters. The last 30 minutes still make me tear up.
Also, love the film but didn't care for the "modern" trailer for this. Makes it seem like something that it's not.

Close Encounters I saw when it first came out in 70mm...so-so film, but I would see it again if it was projected on film.
Seems like all of the rereleased movies are all digital..digital=no depth

Raiders had a 1-week IMAX re-release in 2012.
Yeah that trailer didn't work for me either.

i too found it odd. What I never understood is why there seemed to be three very different types of aliens.
The purpose was to convey they had different races like us. So super tall, the short little ones, and the guy that likes to make hand gestures all represented a different race.
But it seemed to cause more confusion than it was worth.
Also the 'Berg mentioned the special edition was a mistake showing the interior, so this should not have that included. It was totally unecessary but he was dealing wth studios and making deals at that time.
I think another point of confusion was that Neary was chosen, he heard the cosmic call, that is why the aliens walked past all the others and they were rejected, they came and chose Neary alone, he was the only one that made it that far passed the government stopping everyone else. Jillian I guess could have gone too, but she didn't want to, so there was some choice involved I think and she just wanted her kid back.

I saw Raiders on the big screen with live Orchestra last year, it was excellent.
Very much looking forward to seeing Close Encounters on the big screen. Easily my favorite Spielberg movie.
My whole thing for me is, you left your wife and kids to go off with a giant spider alien and little alien baby's?
Came off really sick lol
Well how I see it, it was a cosmic calling larger than everything else, he wasn't an astronaut seeking it like maybe a Dave Bowman, he didn't ask for it, he was just a Joe Everyman, and the stars called him home, he did try to fight it, but slowly he was changing. Perhaps it was part of an inevitable next step in human ascendance, the literal higher calling. The aliens there to guide him, that this was how things happened all around the galaxy. His family would be looked after I'm sure. And he could return to his family as we saw the others, but now he would guide the rest of humanity to the stars.
