E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982, Dir. Steven Spielberg)
Story
Elliot is your normal boy, until one day, when he meets a little lost alien. Elliot decides to keep the alien, in which he gives the name E.T. Elliot works with E.T. in trying to find him a way to get back home. Elliot must make the difficult sacrifice. Whether to help his new friend or to lose him? Whatever the decision is, Elliot must keep him hidden, as someone else is out to look for him.
Actors
The actors are perfectly chosen for this film. Henry Thomas fits into Elliot and acts as if he is actually Elliot. The rest of the family played by Dee Wallace, Drew Barrymore and Robert MacNaughton, all are so emotionally played that they seem to actually be related. They all act and react around ET as if he is actually there.
Music
Like many of Steven Spielberg's film, the films composer is John Williams, and like always, John William creates an emotional soundtrack which adds to the viewing experience. There is simply nothing bad you can say about this soundtrack, there are so many beautiful themes and heard, and defiantly one of John Williams's best work.
Special Effects
For a film released in the early 80s, the special effects seen are actually very decent. The spaceship looks amazing, especially when it is taking off into the school. The ET puppet is also amazing and looks so realistic. Even to today, the effects look amazing.
Conclusion
E.T. the Extra-terrestrial is a classic Spielberg and should bring a smile to anyone's face. It's the perfect film to watch as a family, and not that frightening for the younger audience. To put it plain and simple, this is amazing.
