Steven Spielberg's 1982 hit about a stranded alien and his loving relationship with a fatherless boy (Henry Thomas) struck a chord with audiences everywhere, and it furthered Spielberg's reputation as a director of equally strong commercial sensibilities and classical leanings. Henry Thomas gives a strong, emotional performance as E.T.'s young friend, Robert MacNaughton and Drew Barrymore make a solid impression as his siblings, and Dee Wallace is lively as the kids' mother. The special effects almost look a bit quaint now with all the computer advancements that have occurred since, but they also have more heart behind them than a lot of what we see today. --Tom Keogh

Format:DVD
This 2 disc special edition set is a masterpiece of presentation, it's beautifully laid out and even comes with a very nice 8 page booklet. The extras disc is packed with extras, in addition the picture and sound quality is of a high standard. It would seem that this DVD set cannot fail? Unfortunately, certain scenes in the film have been edited, and this is a shame for an otherwise very nice DVD. The fantastic scene where Elliot and ET, whilst riding a bike have to face an armed road block has been changed, which in my opinion is a shame because it was perfect as it was. I fully understand that the film has been revamped, but prehaps it could have been handled just a little bit better. For that reason I'll give 4 out of 5.

its in german?!
v confused as to why all of the versions of E.T. on here are so unclear as to what they are, it should not be this hard to find a normal E.T. DVD of the original film in English. Read more

Still Works!
On a modern high-end LED TV (Samsung UE40ES7000) this looks OK, but if you watch it on a TV that's a little cheaper it's noticeable less sharp. The grain is there, but it's ok. Read more

Unrealistic
An alien comes to Earth. Although fun, this story is too far fetched and that's why I'm giving it two stars
