Disclosure Day 2026
For a Steven Spielberg movie about aliens, there has been a lot less hype than I would have expected for this movie, but it has still gotten respectable reviews. I enjoyed it, kind of a similar movie to Close Encounters, but not a remake or even anything close. It doesn't have as good a sense of humor as some of Spielberg's early greats, but the movie has some good philosophical elements to it, even a little bit of religion. Like with Close Encounters there are some people who start doing things and they don't really know why. Other people have more information and there some bad guys from the government. I don't want to say more about the plot than that because I had absolutely no idea. It is mostly a chase movie with details of why parsed out steadily. It has a definite Hitchcock feel to it. There are some dumb or implausible things that characters do that would be easy to pick apart like when FBI agents swarm a house and the guy they are looking for is walking through an open field across the street and nobody sees him. There are a few good action scenes though it isn't really an action movie. There are a number of big acting scenes, but the cast handles it well. At least two of the principle cast members are British/Irish and putting on American accents, which is a pet peeve, though it is neat to see Bono's daughter in a big role. I found it to be thoroughly entertaining with strong characters.
