E.T. THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL was a very relatable movie to me going to see it the first weekend it premiered at movie theaters as I was the same age as the child who befriends an alien on the silver screen. It still seems like yesterday that I was sitting in a theater seater snacking excited about snacking on the newly introduced movie tie-in candy Reese's Pieces and seeing the kids save the day by riding dirt bikes through their neighborhood just like all me and my friend's spent our summer afternoons. Wow! Was that amazing excursion to the movies really forty years ago?!
Now, my daughter is the E.T. fan in the family! She loves E.T. THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL. I can't count the number of times she has watched the movie on a DVD we own. We can't go to Orlando without stopping by Universal Studios theme park so she can go on the E.T. ride; she has an Extra-Terrestrial plush to snuggle at bedtime; and her favorite Halloween costume was of Elliot with the alien from the iconic bike ride scene. So, you know my little girl is going to be geeked about the movie being remastered to be shown in 4K Ultra HD!
Captivating audiences of all ages, this timeless story follows the unforgettable journey of a lost alien and the 10-year-old boy he befriends. Join Elliot (Henry Thomas), Gertie (Drew Barrymore) and Michael (Robert MacNaughton) as they come together to help E.T. find his way back home. The movie with a runtime of approximately one hour and fifty-five minutes is rated PG by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) for language and mild thematic elements.
