reDiscover - Spielberg Season: Close Encounters Of The Third Kind (PG)
Advertisement
Tickets are just £5.50 for Members, £9.50 general admission (£8.50 if you book online).
Steven Spielberg’s genre-defining masterpiece returns to cinemas in a dazzling 4K restoration to win over audiences all over again.
This brilliantly paced tale follows two groups of people driven by the prospect that humans are not alone in the universe.
The first is a team of scientists on a trail of mind-boggling evidence that leads them to the eventual landing site of alien visitors; the other a group of ordinary people who gravitate to the same spot, plagued by strange visions after close encounters with extra-terrestrial life.
The opening sequences masterfully evoke a sense of foreboding, but as the film builds towards its stunning climax, fear gives way to wonder.
It’s a tone shift that set Spielberg’s idealistic vision apart from all other big-screen alien encounters at the time, and raised the bar for every first-contact film that would follow.
Film duration: 137 mins.
