Included on the CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND: Special Edition DVD, this very lengthy documentary chronicles the making of the film, from conception, to production, to post-production. The cast (mainly Spielberg on the set of Saving Private Ryan) offer their recollections.
The movie itself disappointed me. I have to say that I found it extremely overrated and not very fascinating at all.
The documentary, on the other hand, is quite well-made and informative. I've seen better (much better actually) but still...compared to some this is quite good and I can't complain.
Whether the film deserves such a decent making-of is another question altogether.
3.5/5
