Disclosure Day

Disclosure Day isn’t really about the action, exemplary as it is; it’s about connection — human and otherwise — and about Margaret and Daniel slowly realizing what they know, and how they can use that knowledge for good.

Disclosure Day’s epic conclusion comes across as if Spielberg is sending the audience a message, begging them to use their hearts and heads too. The moment plays into every complaint that’s ever been lodged about this raging sentimentality; I loved every second.

It’s classic Spielbergian fare, given that it’s a movie much more about us than intergalactic beings.

This is absolutely a film to go to the movies for: original, confident and boldly entertaining. And, at its core is a powerful tenderness.

Spielberg’s vision in “Disclosure Day” suggests audacity, even recklessness, two qualities that have often been wanting in his movies. There’s a sense of freedom, of a work pulled from deep within, that in some ways seems even more personal than the memoir-like “The Fabelmans.”

While Disclosure Day doesn’t live up to the high standards he’s set, it’s still a thrill ride, thumbing its nose at authority and begging its audience for more empathy, not less. Even if not all the pieces snap flawlessly into place, Disclosure Day is a reminder of how much magic is still left up Spielberg’s sleeve, how much excitement he and Koepp can bring to a story about government conspiracy, how easily Kamiński can make an audience nervous with the smallest lens flare, and how exhilarating it feels to listen to new Williams score. But because this creative team has hit so many homers before, even a mild showing can feel like a letdown.

Spielberg’s West Side Story demonstrated that the old master still has exciting work in him when he chooses to tackle a genre that’s new to him. But like Ready Player One and The Fabelmans before it, Disclosure Day reveals an artist spinning his wheels when he digs back into his own past triumphs.

More than a nod to the 3 decades of work by the OG of ET disclosure: Dr. Steven Greer. Thank you Mr. Spielberg, for having the spirit and the guts. LOVE this movie!!

Steven Spielberg, the legendary filmmaker, returns to his beloved genre with a promising sci-fi, drama, and thriller. Based on trailers and promotional material, the movie seems to have a spy theme. However, unfortunately, it ends up being a modern-day Indiana Jones that falls short of expectations. It's not bad. It's sad.

This movie seemed like a Spielberg movie with the same format but a different group of actors and a slightly different script. He is a good movie maker in that the pace and action are always leading to a conclusion. Obviously this isn't one of his best ground-breaking movies but it is well made and the acting and tension is pretty classic Spielberg. Our view is: "give it a try, you could do a lot worse in the science fiction genre."
