E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial 30th Anniversary Edition Blu-ray (PG)
Movie: 4 out of 4 stars
Disc: 4 out of 4 stars
Landing just a small notch below "the Wizard of Oz" as the most beloved fantasy film of all-time, the most lasting effect of "E.T." was not just to make sci-fi welcome for mass audiences but more to paint an alien as the premiere protagonist amidst an array of shortsighted and thuggish adult humans. This timeless masterpiece hasn't lost a lick of appeal with the new Blu-ray transfer is immaculately clear and crisp and the bevy of bonus featurettes provides a veritable treasure trove for fans new and old.
Technical specs: aspect ratio: Widescreen (1.85:1/1080p), audio: English (DTS-HD-MA 7.1), French and Spanish (DTS Digital Surround 5.1), subtitles: English, French and Spanish.

8 featurettes

Additional DVD disc
