Close Encounters of the Third Kind is unquestionably a great movie.

TV Guide Magazine - Unnamed
Steven Spielberg proves decisively that a special effects-dependent film need not be cold, mechanistic, or simpleminded.

The Hollywood Reporter - Unnamed
The visuals here...are never less than stunning in their impact, yet always seem well within the realm of possibility. It is also to Spielberg's credit, however, that despite all of this visual opulence, his actors are never dwarfed.

The New York Times - Vincent Canby
Steven Spielberg's giant, spectacular Close Encounters of the Third Kind...is the best—the most elaborate—1950's science fiction movie ever made, a work that borrows its narrative shape and its concerns from those earlier films, but enhances them with what looks like the latest developments in movie and space technology.
