Close Encounters of the Third Kind: The Complete Edition

We watched the V1.03 LIGHT NU CUE version last night and thoroughly enjoyed it with all of the scenes from the different cuts put into one cut.
Once again wraith has shown he is one of the best at fanedits , fabulous audio and video and the joins from the three cuts were awesome.
i own the 4k collector's edition which includes the 3 versions, but this edit from wraith will be the one i go to as i prefer everything in one place - my favourite spielberg film just got better - thank you

I had heard about this fan edit and have been seeking it out. This is how I came to this wonderful site.

My wife and I sat down and watched this glorious movie fully intact! I would have never known this was a fan edit if I didn't already know. Everything is seamless. No disruption in quality and the audio rocks.

Very good job!

All the previous fan edits I've watched I've done so in standard definition, but I bought an external blu-ray drive specifically so I could see this cut in HD.

I'm glad I did!

I first saw CE3K on its original release and have been a big fan ever since. The differing versions have always fascinated me and my opinion as to which one was definitive was (a bit like Spielberg's) always changing with time. What really attracted me to Wraith's edit was the restoration of the blazing light finale. This was a crucial aspect of the visual feel of the film and it was very welcome to see it this way on my home cinema screen.

I believe the mark of a great movie is just how often you can re-visit it with satisfaction and this 'Complete Edition' delivers in spades. Technically excellent, Wraith has made the extended experience work and done the story proud. No matter how many times I see it, I'm always amazed at how much new things there are to discover, especially in that highly cinematic final act.

Full marks. Well done, and thanks Wraith.

One of my next stops (when I have three and a half hours to spare!) will be this editor's Roadshow Restoration of John Wayne's 'The Alamo.' I'm not a huge Wayne fan or even a Western fan particularly, but there' something about those old Roadshow presentations that make me wish I could have visited a picture house in the fifties and sixties.

An absolutely top notch edit! It was everything I wanted and more. The editing was seamless and the movie flowed perfectly. Visually fantastic, audibly fantastic and the definitive way to see this movie.

I cannot give it any less than 10 on all fronts.

I just watched Wraith's edit of Close Encounters, This edit is just fantastic, I found that the scenes flowed smoothly and seamlessly so you can't tell where they have been added. If you you show this to someone who has not seen it, they would not know if this film is the official edit or not. Wraith, is a masterful editor, and this is not an edit that has been slapped together, this edit has been put together with love and care and attention to detail. From now on this will be my go to version!
