Spielberg said for the next release on Blu-ray he will most likely include the original footage, seeing how Blu-Ray Discs hold so much storage he can easily put both versions on one disc/
I grew up with the original version of this masterpiece and i can honestly say that i didn't really mind the CGI changes in this version at all. Spielberg really knows how to effectively use digital effects as a storytelling device, unlike most filmmakers these days.The changing of the government agent's guns to walkie talkies was really the only change that i felt was kind of unnecessary. I saw this version in theaters with a packed audience and the picture and sound quality was utterly superb.
they Changed the Flying Scene from Elliot Ducking by the tree to him just keep going when he flies by the tree. Btw. Best Music at the Best scene @ 1:45 when i saw this trailer and i saw 1:45 i Smiled!
the audience doesn't need you to use that patronizing tone in a phony movie preview voice punk, even if the general hollywood audience is dumb and doesn't know anything about the world they're living in
I belong to 1990's generation (very far to E.T.), but, even borned 11 years later, I recognize a awesome film. In 2002, I has 9 years old and I could watch E.T. in the remasterized edition. Was a honor. I met Spielberg those year and then, I become his fan. E.T. it's a present to all generations of a director that never grows old and always renews his way of direct. A wonderfull work to all generations, 80' years or to this days!
LOL they took the guns out and replaced them with radio's. What are they trying to protect kids from? All they are doing is helping make guns more taboo. Spielberg Fail
Out of all the scenes in this movie, which ones were the saddest? Which ones had the most tension? Which ones were the funniest? For me, the saddest scene would be the one where ET 'dies' and everyone is crying. The one with the most tension would be, hands down, the bicycle chase scene (you know, the one where Micheal, Elliot, and their friends are trying to get ET to the spaceship). The funniest? For me, it would have to be when Micheal and Gertie see ET for the first time.
Don't misunderstand me : the new scenes are nice to discover as a bonus, but I just can't forgive Spielberg for having change ET with CGI in too many shots, since this also changed his personnality in some ways. And federal agents holding talkies instead of guns...? Come on ! They kbnow the kids are harmless but what about the alien ? He was dead and now is alive ! Of course they fezel him like a possible threat !
@yanndick I Like It when they use animatronics instead of CGIs because you can actually take a picture with animatronic instead of using Computer stuff to take a pic with The Smurfs or something that's CGI now!
@yanndick It was clearly stated that it was impossible at the time to do those certain scenes because they didn't have the technology yet. I'm glad he re-released it cause it was fantastic. I usually like updating my films once I have the experiance and technology which I never had before.
Added to this, they also remade the french dubbing and change all the dialogs with the new release. So, the only possible way we have here to rewatch ET as we discovered it when we were teens is to watch it on old VHS. On DVD, only the new dubbing is available (Even with the original cut) and it's not as fun as the one from 1982.

Dear All,
I have some questions about psychology:
(1) Why do children love flying?
(2) Why do children want to dream of riding a flying bicycle?
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE for your creative ideas and brainstorm!!! :)

@The3ninjakids And Spielberg always knew the right mix with using animatronics and cgi. Jurassic Park still looked great on AMC the other day.
