In 1982, E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial became the biggest blockbuster of the year, and the world fell in love with a strange little creature, and the family who took him in. 30 years later, E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial is being brought to audiences like never before… on a 30th Anniversary Blu-Ray.
Nominated for nine Academy Awards® including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Cinematography, Best Writing and Best Screenplay, the film took home four statuettes for Best Visual Effects, Best Sound Effects Editing, Best Sound and Best Music for John Williams’ (Jaws) memorable score. The unforgettable cast includes the adorable Drew Barrymore (He’s Just Not That Into You, Charlie’s Angels), Henry Thomas (Dear John, Legends of the Fall), Dee Wallace (10, “Sons and Daughters”) and Peter Coyote (“Law & Order: LA,” Jagged Edge).
Recently, I got the chance to sit down with Dee Wallace and speak with her about the film. Check that out here:
E.T. THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL ANNIVERSARY EDITION BLU-RAY
Oh E.T., you haven’t aged a day! As for the Blu-Ray, the 1080p/AVC-encoded video transfer looks superb. You can’t really ask for anything better, especially when it was approved by Steven Spielberg himself. The DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1 surround sound audio has been cleaned up as much as it can be for a 30-year-old movie. Still, the film has never sounded better. Check out how great this film looks in the clips below.
