Close Encounters of the Third Kind - Communicating with Aliens

Science fiction movies are as numerous as grains of sand. Whether they are about aliens, spaceships or a dystopian future - we have 10 recommendations for you on MeinMMO. Among them is the classic Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

  • Released: 1977
  • Directed by: Steven Spielberg

Several years before E.T. , Spielberg dealt with aliens once again. However, in a different, more grown-up manner. This film tells the story of family man Roy, who has contact with extraterrestrials and subsequently decides to rethink his life.

As alien sightings increase, people attempt to establish communication with them. This is to be achieved through a specific sequence of five tones, that is, through music.

Close Encounters of the Third Kind tells of the fascination humans have for aliens, but does not view the foreign visitors as enemies. The dialogue with them is central. Those who find the topic interesting should also check out Arrival by Denis Villeneuve, which also deals with communication between humans and aliens.

Bonus: A Trip to the Moon

Finally, one of the oldest, yet certainly one of the most important science fiction films of all time should be mentioned: A Trip to the Moon by Georges Méliés from the year 1902. Perhaps some recognize the famous image of the moon with a rocket sticking in its eye.

In less than 15 minutes, the film tells a creative and charming story full of imaginative images. It is a gem of early cinema and shows that science fiction has been an important genre from the very beginning. You can watch the full film on YouTube.
