[Movie] ‘Disclosure Day’ Steven Spielberg’s UFO Movie

If it’s anything like close encounters, which looks highly probable, good movie, but a slow crawl to a happy reveal. My prediction. Basically the same movie.

 

Not even close, this movie was a major dissapoitment. Some aspects were old school Spielberg but for the most part it was very meh with terrible cgi and action scenes. Emily Blunt was probably the only real positive, she was good...

 

Steven=washed?

 

Not getting a good vibe -- audience response seems pretty tepid.

 

2026 Spielberg:

 

Interesting premise. Awful storytelling.

 

...

 

Anyone actually seen this? Is it worth sitting through for 2.5 hours?

 

I did. I can’t imagine I’ll ever sit down to watch it again, even if it’s on a streaming service I’m already paying for.

 

I've never seen you use such harsh language before -- I hope everything is okay.

 

The excitement of watching was more fun than the actual watching it, it was just bad overall....

 

This is what I was afraid of. The only recent science fiction movie that I can sit through multiple times is interstellar. The rest are too campy for my tastes.

 

Interstellar was awesome, so was Hail Mary. I really wanted this to be good, I love Speilberg and Emily Blunt

 

Not good. Just a slow, plodding story that doesn't explore any new territory. They could have made a much better movie that focused on the back story to this one. A movie about employees of a secretive tech company that is suppressing/exploiting information about alien visitation and their journey to making the decision to reveal this information. Basically the 20 years prior to these events. And I want to see a plausible/compelling treatment of the aliens' motivations and plans.

 

I agree, it would have been so neat to see this movie start on the night of the Roswell incident.

 

absolute garbage; the first couple of minutes it felt like I came in late to the movie or something and missed some background information

 

Man I couldn't disagree more. Does he tread familiar territory, sure, but you definitely get classic Spielberg vibes here. He's a master class filmmaker and continues to show us why. Does it reach the heights of his best movies, no, but he brings the suspense, adventure, and wonderment that are his trademarks.

 

Your brain just isn't wired to be super creative when you're 80 years old. At that point ts just trying to lean into reinforcing the things that won't get you killed.

Even Steven Spielberg is subject to the laws of human biology.

What's the most exciting, creative bold movie vision auteured by someone 79 years.old, or older?

I'm guessing the list isn't very long.

He has such skills that I'm sure its a technical wonder, but I'm not suprised that it doesn't quite have that "spark" that ET or Close Encounters brought.
