The typical Spielberg film we've come to expect from him, albeit this was one of his first great films along with JAWS 2 years prior. Great visual FX, a safe, broad, and heartwarming story that opens up to a family rather than an individual. Overall, I can appreciate the film but with this being the second time I've seen it, it just hasn't done much for me. Not one of the best Sci-Fi/UFO/or Spielberg films I've seen. 7/10
