Does anyone know what the story is on Close Encounters of the Third Kind? The DTS tracks on DVD and Blu-ray get univerally good reviews, but having never seen/heard the film theatrically I just wondered if the original 6-track mix had been significantly tampered with in its transition to home theatre (a la Jaws).

Jaws was mono. CE3K was 6-track.

Sorry, I should have been more clear - I was referring to the tampering rather than the type of mix. Not really a la Jaws in that respect.

Thanks for the info, it's good to know that the studios occasionally get these things right. It seems unlikely we'll ever hear the 70mm mix of Superman, unless someone decided to do a Hairy Hen style restoration (and even if someone were interested, what would the reference be?)
