Close Encounters of the Third Kind

I usually start reviews with a plot description, but I can't here because there's no plot. Richard Dreyfuss encounters an alien ship, becomes obsessed with aliens, and then goes to see them land in Wyoming. That's the beginning of a plot, but not enough to warrant 137 minutes of people looking up in the sky. Maybe if something happened on the ship at the end, or if there were some significant obstacles to him getting to the ship, but that's not really the case. It has good special effects, although it looks like Spielberg got the E.T. costumes from leftovers from this film.
