E.T. Ratings & Reviews
- Eric BakkeOctober 13, 2024Movie magic accompanied by one of the greatest music scores in film history.
- Rowan KrzysiakFebruary 13, 2025There are good moments in the early 'discovery' parts of the film and the concept still has a bold sense about it but it all just felt a bit too ragged for me, even stupid at points. Some people probably find that to be part of its charm.
- stefienApril 25, 2025Still a solid movie, even after all this time! Absolutely holds up
- Ross Duff4d agoClassic!
- .LAGMay 4, 2025The story of a boy and his dog... except his dog is a sentient creature from outer space, left behind by his family who have come to Earth to peacefully harvest plant samples, who wants to go home. The special effects may be a little dated at the time of this re-review--May 2025--but the storytelling, and the movie magic woven into every shot, is timeless. It is a film that every member of your family can enjoy and relate to, which in our modern age of targeted and programmatic advertising is rare. I think this is Stephen Spielberg's best cinematic tale, in his rather large catalog of accomplishments.
- mickerdoo4d agoAn iconic 80s sci-fi. Fun family movie with some cutting edge effects. I like how it makes the agency guy look like the monsters.
- Crypto knightJune 27, 2025An 80s time capsule. Great movie that never gets old.
