Review: Disclosure Day is big on action, light on ideas
There’s nothing new or surprising, but it’s still an entertaining film from one of our greatest directors.
TL;DR
- Disclosure Day is Steven Spielberg's latest film about alien encounters, starring Emily Blunt.
- The plot involves stolen alien technology, a meteorologist developing alien abilities, and a government conspiracy.
- Emily Blunt delivers a luminous performance, anchoring the film with her portrayal of the evolving meteorologist.
- The movie blends political thriller elements with sci-fi, culminating in a mystical shift in the final act.
- While entertaining and well-paced, the film is criticized for its lack of originality and underwhelming reveal.
- The CGI animals are noted for their otherworldly, fairy-tale-like appearance, fitting the film's tone.
- Spielberg's return to the alien genre is competent but doesn't surpass his earlier seminal works like E.T.
