This is pretty good, but you should have not used the scene where E.T. and Elliott meet in the corn field, actually showing the alien in the trailer kinda takes away it's scare appeal in the theater. Especially with E.T. looking as scared as Elliott was. Music might be a little too much for the tone, I probably would've have used sounds from the first parts of the actual movie. Overral, this was well done though.
@CaptainConnorsaurus DVD's were invented by Philips, Sony, Toshiba, and Time Warner in 1995. and the first dvd's were released in 1996. i don't know the name of the very first dvd that was released but i do know that Twister was released on dvd on March 26, 1997. dvd's weren't that popular in the 90's because the vhs format was still around and people clung on to it until it disappeared in the new millenium when they were forced to rent and buy dvd's. this is when dvd's became popular.
@CaptainConnorsaurus Also the original version of ET is on dvd. I bought it a year ago on amazon right after i posted that comment which i just deleted just now. The 2 disc limited collector's edition dvd which was released on october 22 2002 has the original 1982 version on the second disc. believe me i would know. like i said i own this set. it contains lots of bonus features as well along with the 2002 release on the first disc which i hate. i only watch the original.
this scene (orignal 1982 version) used to scare me when i was a kid. this version definitely doesn't scare me at all. if anything its stupid because of the stupid CG ET.
Dude, i had dreams where I would sit in my room, and my door would be cracked, he would run by... Then i would walk down a long hallway, and I would see him running at me from a distance and couldnt get away. then he would just pick me up and run with me... SCARY!
I figured the way i would kill him. His neck would shoot up and be long, and i would take a bat and hit him right in the middle, and his neck would collapse.....
You stupid! Good job! You didn't help me any in getting rid of my fear of this stupid alien! That one quick scene when he walks fast over to Elliot REALLY didn't help...maybe if I watch it enough...
Don't look in the bushes,don't look in the bushes,don't look in the-- AHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thx a lot for re-creating my horrible fear of the past!!!
I remember as a kid seeing Close Encounters of the 3rd kind and crying to sleep with my Moms that night. That end scene to this day still creeps me out with all the little big head dudes. Imagine them in your bedroom at night standing there staring at you.
well, if you do decide to redo it, use the original, non CGI version, it does make him look kinda scared when the flashlight shines on E.T., in the original it doesn;t.
no, don't cut his reaction at all. Just use the original 82 version, that one doesn't make him look scared. Also, use a scream at the end, that should spice things up a bit.
Yeah if I had a redo I would have thought of another way to word it so that I could avoid contractions. I'm glad you liked the shuffling scene- some people thought I should have removed it, but I fought to keep it in.
Nice stuff, especially at the end. E.T. already freaked me out enough when I was little (I know he was nice, I don't care). This just added fuel to the fire!
it dosen't feel like an Alien Invasion movie. it's the little things, for example: in the 56' second of the recut you need to skip over e.t's reaction and in the end, cut to the E.T.'s "logo" earlyer (in 01:09)

I own ET on DVD and I used a DVD ripper to extract the scenes onto my computer. Then I used Windows Movie Maker to edit it together.

Punctuation - they are = they're. You forgot the apostrophe.
I liked the bit with the heart beat where ET shuffles forward quickly.

I agree with cutting off ET's reaction because he looks scared.
But I think the ending works well.
