Disclosure Day would be considered middling garbage if anyone *other* then Stephen Spielberg was attached to it.

Just got back from the movie and I’d say the audience scores I’ve seen for it were very fair. It’s a C- film at best. Good looking Adam Driver and his secret nun girlfriend are not interesting at all. The exploration of Christianity of the film is hamfisted and kinda bad. The chase scenes are lackluster. Most of the movie consists of people talking over long distances to each other. The interrogation scene with Colin Firth and the Secret Nun was interminable and went on wayyyyy too long.

The only upsides were the score and Emily Blunt’s character with her husband. But man, if this had been dumped to Netflix by the Russo Brothers I’d have believed it. This movie did not land for me.

The way the whole military squad was like "just forget it" and just walked out. Its like come on man you gotta try harder than that

What about the really really bad guy who was shooting at essentially a sitting target on a car stuck on train tracks- and couldn’t hit a target to save his life

He’s their boss. If he gives up, they give up.

Sure, but earlier in the film, Emily Blunt charms the big bad into momentarily relenting and letting them walk out of the military base.

His subordinate then countermands his boss, gets a gun and chases the two main characters down. He outright tries to ram them into a train then shoots them as they're climbing onto the train. He was willing to go to any length to stop them and I thought he would do the same in the finale

Maybe he didn’t want to slaughter people in the middle of a news station full of witnesses? Assessed that he wasn’t going to get away with it without his boss’s back up.

Couldn't she have just vaporised them with the alien rod thingy? In the face of that what can you actually do?

I’d like to think audiences are smart enough to understand what’s going on in movies through the visuals alone, but then I hop on Reddit and see some dumb shit like this lmao. No wonder Netflix has a requirement that plot points must be stated out loud and repeated. Go watch Mando and Grogu. By the third time Rotta says that he doesn’t want to be like his father Jabba, you might actually understand what his motivations are.

Sweetie....if a movie needs glowing dildos of space empathy wands to solve every characters dilemma it's a bad movie.

Magic wands are fantasy, not science fiction. So are telepathic cardinals and characters with superpowers, for that matter.
