- Rafael Santos Bezerra10. juni 2026E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial has been pretty much the blueprint for the movie magic adventure ever since its original release, yet somehow the magic was lost on me this time around. Maybe it was the visual effects, which look extremely dated by today's standards, or maybe it was the actor who plays Elliot, whose stilted performance took me out of the film almost instantly; I can't really tell. Whatever it was, Spielberg was still conjuring up some really inspired compositions here, so he's definitely not the one to blame.
- Jon Westwood24. oktober 2025Even after 40+ years, E.T. remains one of those rare films that can melt even the coldest, diesel-soaked trucker heart. Spielberg’s tale of a stranded alien and a lonely boy still hits with that perfect mix of wonder, humor, and lump-in-the-throat nostalgia. The effects may show their age, but the emotion sure doesn’t — it’s pure, timeless magic. A heartwarming classic that reminds you to keep your feet on the ground but let your heart phone home.
- RipLinesMan30. desember 2025Honestly, Event Horizon (1997) is a masterclass in how a movie earns its mood through consequence, and that makes E.T. the Extra Terrestrial feel a lot more engineered than mystical on a rewatch. Spielberg’s craft is immaculate, but the film is constantly cueing you toward a specific emotional response with glow, music swells, and repeated beats of awe, until the experience can feel less like discovery and more like being guided to the exact spot where you are supposed to tear up. Henry Thomas is genuinely affecting as Elliott and Drew Barrymore is the best kind of natural as Gertie, with Dee Wallace grounding the family’s reality, yet the story keeps sanding the world into a moral binary where childhood wonder is pure and most adults are reduced to faceless menace in keys and hazmat suits. Peter Coyote’s Keys hints at nuance, but he is written more as a symbol than a person, and the government pursuit often plays like manufactured turbulence designed to keep the sentiment machine running. When the plot shifts into the clinical lab stretch, the movie turns oddly sterile and mechanical, replacing lived-in tension with ritualized suffering, and the end result, for all its iconic imagery, can register as expertly produced emotional compliance rather than truly earned complexity.
