This is the 40th Anniversary Limited Edition of the original classic and the third version to appear on Blu-ray Disc. "E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial" remains today an extraordinary film, one that will warm your heart with its wondrous entertainment and magic. Its a story about human values, understanding, compassion, and love is timeless as told through the perspective of a young boy's (Thomas) friendship with a visitor from another planet. Along with the superb performance of Thomas, the rest of the cast is just as natural and believable as the film's feeling of reality. Director Steven Spielberg digitally enhanced his Oscar-winning 1982 classic for the Blu-ray Disc released on October 9, 2012 with current technology that was not available to him at the time, then 40 years ago. This latest version has been re-mastered in 4K Ultra HD with HDR and a DTS:X Immersive Sound soundtrack. (Gary Reber)
