This movie is too long. It bored me to sleep back in 1999 when I first saw it on tape. It kind of failed my expectations. This is more of a mood movie as E.T. The Extra-Terrestial is. So don't watch this (or E.T.) if you are tired. However, Spielberg was able to redeem himself with Artificial Intelligence - w/c, to me, is a classic as far space creatures are concerned. 3/1/12
500 years from now humans will probably be able to build a spaceship equivalent to the one in this movie and our heads won't be any larger than they are now just as they're not any larger than what they were 500 years ago.
I always laughed at the part where the guys in the orange suits think they are going to go into spaceship. Then the aliens are all like: fuck you, we choose who we want. and they choose Roy. Then the orange suits don't get to go.
I have to admit I thought of this scene when I first watched the tv series the 4400 and how the humans came back many years later without aging a day.

I'm surprised Disney hasn't sued John William over this score, or have they?

I think the jump-suited goggle-wearing people look a bit Devo meets Kraftwerk.

from 6:46 remind me some scenes from the X files, specially the episode "one son" just that the aliens aren`t friendly at all.
