Review 4K Movie

I love movies about conspiracy theories, and I grew up watching *The X-Files*, where Mulder and Scully were my childhood heroes. That’s why Spielberg’s new movie intrigued me from the very first trailer, from the very start of the marketing campaign, which promised something at the intersection of a paranoid thriller and a classic Spielberg-style encounter with aliens. In reality, it turned out to be a very bad, thoroughly formulaic movie.

The cases that FBI agents investigated in the ’90s still feel relevant and unsettling today. Spielberg, however, simply rehashes everything we already know and have seen a hundred times about aliens, and doesn’t even attempt to breathe any freshness into the subject.

The plot revolves around former cybersecurity employee Daniel Köllner, who goes on the run with classified documents proving contact with extraterrestrial life, while the Wardex corporation tries to stop him by any means necessary. At the same time, weather anchor Margaret suddenly gains the ability to read other people’s minds and speak languages she’s never studied.

The beginning is truly intriguing. The first half-hour builds tension and promises some kind of mystery worth sticking around for until the end. But by the middle of the film, none of this leads anywhere. The script is punctuated by a couple of decent action scenes—the chase on the train roof looks spectacular—but after that, the film literally stops saying anything. And the ending leaves you frankly baffled. What was the director trying to say in the end? That there are things we don’t know and will never know? Thanks, we understood that perfectly well without him.

The themes of faith, the appearance of crop circles, the clichéd classic alien design, and the strange gadget that allows one to infiltrate another’s mind and control a person—all of this is presented so superficially that not even the nostalgia typical of Spielberg’s work comes through. Usually, his films about contact with other civilizations managed to captivate audiences with a childlike sense of wonder, but here all we feel is a tired repetition of his own tropes, devoid of any new ideas.

The film’s only real strength—and a significant one at that—is its cast. Emily Blunt, Josh O’Connor, Colman Domingo, and Colin Firth, who rarely plays villains, seem to have been assembled here specifically to salvage the disastrous script.
The actors are truly magnificent, and it’s clear that each of them is trying to make the most of their role. But it seems that even they don’t fully understand what they’re playing. Their characters lack development, their actions lack internal logic, and there’s certainly no catharsis to justify the two-and-a-half hours of screen time. Blunt flits between fear and epiphany without any psychological coherence; Furt clearly wants to play a sinister antagonist, but the script doesn’t give him a single full-fledged scene to do so; and Domingo exists on screen more as a plot device than as a living character.

“Disclosure Day” leaves a strange aftertaste: it seems like an expensive, technically competent film with an excellent cast, yet inside it is hollow. Spielberg, who will turn eighty this year, deserves far more respect than he has shown himself with this film. I can’t recommend it because it offers the viewer neither intellectual stimulation nor emotional impact. It simply passes you by, leaving behind only a slight irritation at the realization that even the great Spielberg sometimes gets it wrong. Want a good movie about conspiracies? Re-watch the old episodes of *The X-Files*. At least there, you can sense that the creators themselves believe in what they’re talking about.
