The little boy is named Elliott, who brought the creature to his California home in the suburbs. Eliot introduces the creature called ET - as he is called a foreigner - to his little brother and sister, Gerti. Children decide to keep their existence secret.

What makes the movie a masterpiece is the intensely visceral way in which Spielberg conveys these children feeling adult emotions for the first time.

What's perhaps most amazing about E.T., what distinguishes it from many of the other fantasy films of its era, is its ability to put an audience under a spell of childlike wonderment without infantilizing it.

Spielberg's direction and Melissa Mathison's script never lose sight of the realistic, low center of gravity world of childhood, in which such marvelous adventures happen every day.

E.T. is essentially a spiritual autobiography, a portrait of the filmmaker as a typical suburban kid set apart by an uncommonly fervent, mystical imagination. It comes out disarmingly funny, spontaneous, bighearted.

There are many big moments in E.T., but also plenty of magical small ones that make it work after all these years.

My heart still soars as Elliott goes airborne and pedals across the face of an impossibly full harvest moon on his bike.

Spielberg would seem to be groping towards a virtual theology of space, space as Heaven, offering solace to a world which has foolishly renounced its traditional God but still aches to extend its own spiritual frontiers.

Without a doubt, I can say this is a masterpiece. [Full review in Spanish]

The movie is emotionally tumultuous and evenhanded and serene.

Captivating, endearingly optimistic and magical at times, Steven Spielberg's fantasy about a stranded alien from outer space protected by three kids until it can arrange for passage home is certain to capture the imagination of the world's youth.

Though marred by Spielberg's usual carelessness with narrative points, the film alternates sweetness and sarcasm with enough rhetorical sophistication to be fairly irresistible.
