I just don't get the love for this movie. It doesn't work for me at all having recently retried it for a third and probably last time. Almost all the characters, especially Dreyfuss, are annoying dickheads. I really had no interest in what happened to them. The scientific discovery sections of the movie is what appealed personally, and the soundtrack is iconic for sure, but a lot of the effects really look dated and unimpressive so there's just nothing here for me in this movie anymore.

While still holds up on a technical level, the whole narrative too clumsily told to be memorable beyond the scene where a guy builds a mountain out of mashed potatoes. Which was the scene my parents mentioned every time they talked about the movie. Now I know why...

Spielberg does a good job portraying the large scale of these events, as well as the awe it inspires in the people, but for large parts this movie plays more like a special effects tech demo (they still hold up remarkably well!) than a narrative feature. The characters range from somewhat interesting (Balaban and Truffaut) to annoying spawns of hell (all kids), and the ending is way too long and disappointing.

Cricker predicted I'd score this film 86%, which is a close guess, but the film has aged a little bit with the visuals, and there's not much individual importance for any of the characters, not even Richard Dreyfuss's character, who at the end of the day, is kind of hard to like because he's a deuche to his family. That being said, it IS still Spielberg, who is able to weave his magic into this film and turn it into one of the most famous alien films ever made.
