- Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2025ET is a timeless classic for the family. Bought this because the copy i had was on VHS and the tracking was wearing out pretty bad. This BD version is really nice, with a good crisp video and audio quality. Great to pop out and watch with the family on movie nights.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2012ET the extra terrestrial is one of the all time greatest movies in my book besides Jaws. The fact that they are restoring this movie from it's original film elements makes me want to praise Steven Spielberg. I am so happy that the original film version of this movie will live on and hopefully push the 2002 crap version into a deep dark hole where it will never see the lights of day.Hopefully somebody will burn that hole and turn it into a gaping crater with no parts of the 2002 version left. I remember when I was a kid a couple of years ago and my Uncle brought a whole box of old Vhs tapes to my house for us to watch. I watched it so many times the film wore out and I had to dump it. Ever since then I wanted a new better looking original upscaled print of the 1982 version. Go to hell 2002 version. Sorry for my language for a few of you out there who don't like hearing swear words. But, anyway this film is a masterpiece. It racked up ticket sales for the rest of the summer and became the biggest box office hit of its time. Until Jurassic Park came out 11 years later. Here is some trivia; Mars candy company was originaly asked to put there M&Ms candy into the movie for promotional reasons, but they declined that offer and the hershey candy company got to put in there candy called Reeses's Pieces. There sales shot up by 65 percent. I bet who ever declined for the Mars company was banging there heads for years to come after that. I cannot wait for this blu ray release. I want October to come right now! I love this movie to much to wait until then.For a restored picture and sound and hours of bonus features this blu ray sure looks like it will fly off shelves and be talked about for a while. I feel the same way about the jaws blu ray coming out on August 14th. ET the extra terrestrial is a masterpiece that will live on for many generations!

- Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2025As advertised, great condition. Good price.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2012It looks like the finest 35mm print of E.T. you've ever seen, with Allen Daviau's cinematography of images straight from Steven Spielberg's imagination and heart lush and crystal-clear.
John Williams' out-of-this-world music is astronomically, extraordinarily spectacular!
On the sound track, there is the occasional added sound-effect...a cricket here, a bird chirp there, the pizza guy (Get it? Huh?) driving off down the street exactly in surround left after delivery, the sound of the gas-guzzling government van's engine running when we're inside with Keys, who is listening to Elliott and Michael discuss "What WOULD make a radar?" for E.T. to phone home...subtle touches that add just a little more atmosphere to completely immerse you in the story we've grown to know and love!
Watching this classic cinematic gem brought me right back to 1982, to a time when my family (I'm the oldest of 3, formerly 4, siblings; my younger brother, sadly, died of cancer in 2007) was intact and together...when my brother and I used to ride BMX bikes, like the boys in the film...and when our sisters were little, like Gertie. Pure delight. Pure Spielberg!
Thanks a million, Steven, for going back to the 1982 version...the print that shows the government guys carrying GUNS (yes, government agents carry guns, and, pray tell, perish the thought, sometimes have to use them; they would certainly be brandishing firearms during something so monumentally earth-shattering and such a potential threat to national security as a visit from an extra-terrestrial!), that shows E.T. in all his superbly-operated anamatronic rubber puppet glory, for allowing us to hear Mom telling Michael "You are not going (for Halloween) as a TERRORIST!" comment, and Michael saying, uncensored, in his shoulder pads, at the fridge, "...nothin' but hell-shIt!"
