Pretty decent and imo hopeful movie with a message I can stand behind. Acting felt sometimes lacking, given the big shots in it, and a little vit too much cgi was used (without much spoiler the train scene as prime example). Superb music and classic mystery Spielberg vibes. I would recommend watching it if there is no better movie in your watch list.

**Spielberg’s fade to black** Daniel (Josh O'Connor) is a cybersecurity analyst who stumbles upon classified video files proving the government has been capturing and torturing non-human beings ever since the Roswell incident. After becoming a digital fugitive, he joins forces with Margaret Fairchild (Emily Blunt), a TV meteorologist experiencing strange perceptual phenomena. Together, they launch a race against time to expose the existence of alien life to the world, all while escaping the clutches of an implacable government contractor played by Colin Firth, who is hell-bent on stopping the uncontrolled leak of these files. "Disclosure Day" marks Steven Spielberg’s long-awaited return to alien-contact sci-fi—a genre where he previously gifted us absolute masterpieces like "Close Encounters of the Third Kind." Unfortunately, this piece of work feels way more like an exercise in self-indulgence than a fresh, modern take. The first hour of the feature film works quite well as a corporate conspiracy thriller. The protagonists' pursuit maintains a tense pace, and the cinematography is, predictably, top-tier (complete with its fair share of absurd details and inexplicable plot holes, of course). However, as the plot drags on, David Koepp’s script gets tangled up in pseudoscientific nonsense about childhood trauma and the main characters' psychic abilities, completely draining the urgency from their very escape. The film's fatal flaw lies in its high-and-mighty moral and philosophical pretensions. Spielberg gets so incredibly bogged down in emphasizing the importance of faith, communication, and humanity's place in the universe that he forgets to give the audience any sort of satisfying resolution. Deliberately cutting the climax short just to fade to black after the word "Listen..." is nowhere near a poetic, cinematic stroke of freaking genius—it’s just a cheap trick to avoid answering the questions we spent over two hours setting up.

**Score: 3/10 — A Fictional Misstep in a Moment Demanding Truth** For the average movie-goer, this film would probably gain a higher score. It has the Spielberg pedigree, a solid cast led by the fantastic Emily Blunt, and a chase-thriller structure that delivers some entertainment. But for those of us who sit where we do on the precipice of actual disclosure, deeply invested in the reality of UAPs and Non-Human Intelligence (NHI), this film is an extremely flawed and very disappointing experience. The most frustrating part is its premise. The film explores a "what if" scenario of a public unveiling of alien secrets, but given where we are in the world today, this is not the right time for a fictitious movie on this topic to be released. **Half the population of the planet believes that we are not alone, and are looking for answers.** The real world conversation is finally shifting, driven by congressional hearings, whistleblower testimonies, and a slow trickle of government acknowledgment. Releasing a heavily fictionalised, melodramatic thriller during this fragile moment feels not just unhelpful, but almost exploitative. I can watch a movie like *E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial* and be thoroughly entertained because it is very clearly a film made for entertainment, with an entertaining plot. *Disclosure Day*, on the other hand, is not just entertainment for many people. It draws directly on real world themes; the "Tic Tac" sightings, the Roswell narrative, the 2023 congressional hearings using them as a launchpad for a film that one critic called "flimsy" and "outdated". The result is a film that feels caught between wanting to be a serious meditation on the topic and delivering a generic chase movie that "has no ideas about aliens that we haven't heard before" . The plot is a mess. A whistleblower's plan to leak evidence depends on a local TV news broadcast, which feels like a plot device from the 1980s . There are seemingly pointless supernatural elements, such as "a crop circle magically forms around Daniel" with no explanation . The film's focus on the chase means the thought provoking elements are sacrificed for action that one review called "a drab X-Files episode" . The ending, in which Margaret delivers the one word message "Listen" to the world, feels more like a pretentious cliffhanger than a profound statement. The hope is that we can separate the real, unfolding history from this reductive, fictional placeholder . **The Verdict** *Disclosure Day* is a film that misunderstands its moment. For those of us deep in the rabbit hole of UFOs and NHI, you're better off not watching this movie. The real story is far more fascinating and unfolding in real time. This film is a hollow echo of a conversation that has finally started to get serious. **Watch if:** You are an average movie goer looking for an undemanding Spielberg thriller and can ignore the real world context. **Skip if:** You follow the UAP topic closely. The sub plots and storylines are extremely flawed and very disappointing. The search for truth is better served by documentaries and congressional hearings than this reductive movie.

Extremely dated. Like a movie from the '90s when Spielberg was in his peak, even the soundtrack. Except you're watching this as a sensible adult in the digital age. The acting was atrocious, the plot took too long to develop, all the characters are idiots and everything was just dumb and convenient. The entire plot centers around exposing the existence of aliens to the world. But instead of just uploading undeniable proof online, they think a TV station in Kansas city is their only option. One scene, where Bono's daughter was talking to the nun on the phone, she ask if the nun had a computer to look something up for her. Meanwhile, she's holding a smart phone in the year of our Lord 2026. Could she not look it up herself? What?

I feel like i'm rating this film lower if it wasn't a Steven Spielberg production. For the most part it features his usual polish which is above average in most cases. The camera movement and staging is as good as ever. There's even some car chase sequences thrown in to break up the pacing and give this film a jolt of energy and remind us of how much fun Spielberg's action can be. My biggest complaint is my disconnection with the characters. Everyone of the cast members do a great job with what they have to work with. Unfortunately there's not much to them. Perhaps Jane (Eve Hewson) is the character with the biggest arch but we don't get a lotta time with her. It makes the whole thing run like molasses at times in the middle as they just seem to be checking off the boxes of plot exposition. I also didn't like the cat and mouse play between Noah (Colin Firth) and our two main characters Margaret (Emily Blunt) and Daniel (Josh O'Conner). It's confusing at first, then it makes sense, and then they use it too much to the point it just drags. The film somehow manages to come together for a roller coaster finale. The sloppy and seemingly rushed threads come together for something that definitely hits hard and is more concentrated and developed than the early parts of the film. I found myself at full attention as the film began firing on all cinematic cylinders for it's conclusion. Overall I'm happy I saw it but it's probably gonna be my only watch for Disclosure. This probably would have worked better as a series so the characters and ideas could be developed a bit more. We do get what could be John Williams' last score, I made sure I stayed for the whole credits roll.

This is ET. If you saw ET in 82 or later when it came out on VHS, DVD, Blu-ray or streaming, then you know how this goes. This does not have the kids though, but replace them with less engaging and a lot less fun people, to make it more believable. It also gives a face to the villain, which is nice, and keeps the alien hidden and in the background for most of the movie. Much like in Starman (1984) there is a greater emphasis on what items the aliens have, and more about what they want, rather than the more straight-forward plot of ET. This isn't a bad movie, far from it. It is long, though, and if you have seen ET then you know how this goes, and this isn't quite as fun a ride.
