I recently got a hold of a copy of E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial 40th Anniversary 4K Ultra-HD Blu-ray combo set from Amazon, and it appears to be one of Steven Spielberg’s foray into family adventure films from a far away planet to our own home: Earth!

I do know that I have the 1996 and 2002 VHS and DVD releases of E.T., two of them actually being the 20th Anniversary edit that everyone, even Spielberg himself, did not approve. The 4K Ultra-HD Blu-ray combo set has the correct version, and contains a DTS-X track for both discs. The 4K transfer from the original 35mm film prints is a highlight of this release; you can see every little detail of film grain compared to the earlier releases where it’s a blurry mess. A perfect match for my Sony UBP-X800M2 and my HiSense U6 4K Dolby Vision Roku UHD HDR TV! The Standard Blu-ray would also be great for my MacBook Pro Retina (Catalina) with the Verbatim USB 3.0 drive so that I can watch E.T. wherever I go!
