I somehow missed this while growing up, so it was time to remedy that. Unfortunately, the film hasn't aged well. For 1977, the effects were both terrifying and mesmerizing, but now they look like a lot of lights. As a kid, I wouldn't have cared that the father figure really is an unsympathetic character (all adults are crazy). And who knew some French film director would be in charge of the music selection to speak to the aliens?

Speilberg's own personal favorite work. I cannot deny the quality here and its original approach to the alien invasion genre. Richard Dreyfuss shows pure obsession to prove himself right about the UFO he saw and goes so far as to abandon his family to find it creating an emotional atmosphere to the film. The climax was personally underwhelming, however that does not detract too much from a very solid film

we're introduced to dreyfuss extolling the virtues of PETER PAN to his agnostic family. soon, that family is long forgotten as he leaps into (or invents) an adventure that could only be the product of the silver screen (no coincidence that the triggers for this obsession are audiovisual). it plays as subversively in the jaded, ironic '10s as i imagine it did in the cynical, paranoid '70s, earnestly locating the face of god in the process of creating and consuming art.

Certainly has some very memorable images and novel ideas, none of which makes a lot of sense. I'm getting the vibe that Spielberg really wanted to make something deep and philosophical in the vein of 2001 but with really, really annoying kids instead of homicidal AIs.

My opinion, richard dreyfuss gave much better performance than he was in Jaws. And also this is much better film. I'm fan of Arrival, and I think its a good film for the same reason as Close Encounters; they both are about alien and both are so real and logic

Spielberg's original take on the Alien topic is a finely crafted and truly though provoking work. With amazing special effects and a story worth telling to make it all work. Richard Dreyfuss also brings humor and demonstrates the pains of obsession in his terrific lead performance.
