RAVING REVIEW: <\/strong>I mean, come on, it’s E.T., what am I supposed to say here that hasn’t been said before? That’s not a knock on the film, just the reality of the classic status of the film.<\/p>\n

\n

Being born when I was, this is 100% part of my zeitgeist, so much so that even many years after its release, I still wore one of those terrible plastic face masks and smocks with the name on it for a Halloween costume.<\/p>\n

One of the most amazing things about this release is that I hadn’t seen the film in a long time; I would be willing to say it was probably on DVD (maybe even VHS) when I saw this last. So to see it in 4k was a new experience; the colors, the depth, the detail, everything about it felt fresh.<\/p>\n

There are so many iconic moments in the film you don’t realize how deeply ingrained this film is in the world around us until rewatching it with a fresh set of eyes. From countless timeless quotes to scenes you “remember,” it even has STAR WARS references.<\/p>\n

If you either haven’t seen this, or it’s been a long time, you should run out and get this and watch it for the “first time.” I can’t wait to dive further into all the amazing extras; that alone will be a blast.<\/p>\n

This special anniversary release includes over 45 minutes of all-new bonus features.<\/p>\n
