This is a real movie, with all those elements that have proved sure-fire through history; Laughter, tears, involvement, thrills, wonderment. Steven Spielberg also adds a message: Human beings and spacelings should learn to co-exist.

Director Steven Spielberg knew we’d all fall in love with E.T. for one very good reason: he embodies what we hope all aliens will be like when they finally visit our planet.

Spielberg has crafted with warmth and humor a simple fantasy that works so superbly on so many levels that it will surely attract masses of moviegoers from all demographics.

Steven Spielberg’s E. T., The Extra-Terrestrial is the best cinematic fairy tale since The Wizard of Oz.

E.T. …comes to a beleaguered industry like a gift from the gods. Not only does it get bums on seats but it encourages the kind of shared enjoyment that suggests the cinema still has something unique to offer.

The marvel of this extraordinary movie is that it captures for even the most jaded grownup that pleasurable state of innocence and awe that only children are fortunate enough to experience.

Spielberg works well with children, but never before has he directed them with such reticence or such appreciation of their humor, intelligence and decency.

It lifts you into its make-believe in the wonderfully enriching way that only movies can do. I wouldn’t be surprised if ‘E.T.’ eventually turned into the kind of durable classic that can be revived indefinitely for future generations.

It’s connection, its life, and it’s about feelings of love that tends to transcend species and stars.
