Overlong, but visually striking
30 March 2002
Steven Spielberg first entered the world of extra-terrestrials with CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND. With great visual effects, from those pint-sized UFOs to the mammoth motherships, CEOTTK's is eye candy to the fullest. The acting is top notch as well, with Richard Dreyfuss playing considerable torment as Roy, a once easy-going man who becomes obessed with the idea of visitors from outer space after a close encounter. The only downside to this great movie is the tremendous length of time the movie takes up to tell the story. And with long length, tedium rears its ugly. No matter; with the

movie's stunning FX, and the great acting by the cast helps the viewer rest easy and enjoy CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE 3RD KIND with no problem.
