Close Encounters was first released in 1977 and stars Richard Dreyfuss as Roy Neary, who works for a power company and whilst out working one night he notices a strange light in the sky, one that he’s never seen before and is determined to find out what it is, no matter the cost.
I know that this film has a large following, but I can’t say I was all that impressed with the film, Steven Spielberg writes and directs this film and although he does a good job at directing the film, I really wish the film had focused on Neary’s obsession with the bright light he saw whilst out on the job some more, it is a great idea and one that sadly isn’t used as well as it could have been.
But the film wasn’t all bad, the special effects on the spaceships were very well done, they move with a real fluidity and are very much in the frame rather than now where CGI effects dominate the scene and stick out like a sore thumb.
Out of 5 I’m going to give this a 3, it has good special effects but the story is too muddled.
