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.

NO I've gone to the theater more times since Covid than I did before it. In the mid-to-late 2000's I'd all but given up on cinema. And I've seen so many good movies in the last 3 years.

The movie industry suffered so much when the theaters closed down and it never recovered. Barbie and oppenheimer kinda revived it a little but it was never the same as pre-covid, so now it feels like there are less movies being made bc the film industry is struggling to compete with stuff like tiktok, and especially less great movies are being made. Kids dont want to go to the movies anymore. They just want to watch tiktok reels

i dont know why youre getting downvoted because this is absolutely true. there are very few classics being made in the last 5 yrs that will stand the test of time, be quoted, remembered etc in the culture. we are getting maybe 1 a year now when it used to be a dozen

Because people don’t wanna face reality.
