Disclosure Day

Check out my full review @ https://www.manuelsbento.com/disclosure-day-2026-a-breathtakingly-human-paradigm-shift-in-modern-sci-fi/ Rating: A- DISCLOSURE DAY is a fascinating, deeply hopeful return to sci-fi for Steven Spielberg, beautifully championing the concept of truth as a fundamental hu...

Director Steven Spielberg’s filmography is legendary, to say the least. Movies like “Jaws” (1975), “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” (1977), “Raiders of the Lost Ark” (1981), “E.T.: The Extraterrestrial” (1982), “Schindler’s List” (1993) and “Jurassic Park” (1993) have gone down as classics in th...

If this film was released in 1979-85 I probably would have loved it. Now that I'm 61 instead of 14, I see the world much differently. I really wanted to like this, since CE3k is one of my all-time favorite movies and Spielberg has never let me down so far. The production was terrible. JJ Abrams styl...

**A Movie Made by Dinosaurs, for the Dinosaurs** I wanted to like Disclosure Day. The premise—a government agent racing to expose classified alien contact—should be tense, urgent, relevant. Instead, what we get is a film so divorced from how the actual world works that it feels like it was writte...

The filmmaking aspects of Disclosure Day are impressive, and they should be, considering Steven Spielberg’s illustrious career and the people he continues to work with, but the story feels so elongated for no reason, with no real conclusion, and the dialogue and humor are so awful when there is so m...

So.... the disclosure is an information dump and really is nothing. Everyone is an idiot. The special effects are poorly done CGI which is disappointing for Speilberg. It misses all the conspiracy theory beats that Close Encounters had. Everything that the movie should show you, that you want to...

I blame Christopher Nolan: this film is far, far, too long. The concept is quite interesting and complex, and the first half hour tees things up intriguingly but thereafter it just disappoints with a surfeit of dialogue and very little menace before delivering a conclusion that for someone who worke...

Spielberg still has it. Blunt delivers a career-best turn as a meteorologist whose encounters spiral into a paranoid conspiracy chase that splits the difference between Minority Report and Close Encounters. Williams' score soars, the blocking is gorgeous, and the back half genuinely got me. Loses ha...
