This is a truly great film directed by Steven Spielberg, the one that is remembered decades after its release, just like many of Spielberg's other works like Jaws and Jurassic Park. No matter how many times you see it, it never gets old or boring. This movie has been on my watchlist since around 1988. I watched this on 4K and was amazed by how good it looked, the visuals being amazing for its time. The plot of this movie is perfectly written, and I haven't found a single flaw in this movie yet. The aliens, like the shark in Jaws, aren't shown until the near end of the movie, and instead of being terrified of them, we are amazed by them. The characters are played perfectly, and the whole film is interesting and not a single part of it is boring. The ending with the huge mothership is a scene I will always remember, and has a reference to Jaws in it which I only noticed the second time I watched it. The discovery of planes and ships which have disappeared is so good to see, and the alien crafts look amazing. This is how you make a good film.
