Nothing will top the sheer visual noise and ugly, shallowness of Ready Player One. It was Spielberg completely and utterly cashing out and just making something deeply disgusting. Didn't care for The Fablemans either. Way too schmaltzy and emotional. I get its autobiographical, but at the same time, it felt too indulgent. I don't think I've liked a Spielberg movie since Tintin.

I've read some reviews of Disclosure Day, so my expectations are very tempered now. If it's even a 5 or 6 outta 10 for me, I'd call that a success based on Spielberg's current career. Gonna see it on Friday afternoon.
Down to 82% critic, and I'm hearing it's really slow, nondescript score, and not great payoff.

I hope some on here give irl reviews soon.

Some like Chris Gore who I usually agree with hate and says the critics are being nice. Jeremy Jahns was pretty like 'it's good' generically.

All the Ufologists I follow, who'd been really optimistic about early footage they'd been personally shown, saw it early and now are also saying that it's probably not *the* UFO movie that people were hoping for. I'm sure it'll be pretty okay. Which I guess is a big step up from unwatchable like the last Spielberg movies.

I think it will be too. It won't have sudden 'omg real alien footage' in it. But it seems like it might be a more thought out UFO/emotional movie which is probably good enough.

Chris Gore basically says the final trailer is showing the deer-alien transition which is the 'reveal'. And the animal CGI does look pretty mediocre in the trailers. I'm not sure why they still can't do fully good animal CGI now with this budget.

ETA: There's very weird X reactions on this, from it's the best ever to worst ever. I want some damn real people reactions.

Same. I've seen reactions that are very spotty. None of the reactions say it's outright dogshit, but pretty much everyone says the third act and the finale is a big disappointment. Avoiding any out and out spoilers, but I sort of expected that. You can't have a "realistic" movie if you actually take a stand and say anything or posit an opinion.

It sounds like early calm, then the moment we've in trailer of the weather stuff, lots of church nuns talk, then a train race scene, then finale with the aliens revealing to the two in the trailers that were abducted early. With probably some shots of ufos in and out. That's my guess now. I hope it's good, but we'll see.
 
It may just have been the Williams score and the great acting clouding my judgement but SHEEEEIIIIIIIIT that was some good shit. It definitely requires a rewatch.
I don't think I've seen a movie lately with this much divisive reaction. I doubt I'll bother to go to a theater for it now because a lot of reviewers I like are saying mediocre or downright bad.

Really seems a love or hate one.

75% audience isn't too bad I suppose with the super mixed reactions I'm seeing all over Twitter.

I'm going to see this for free this weekend. That's about the right price to pay for this.
 
Spielfaggot said he thinks this movie will cause Christians to question and give up their faith.

This bomb is only going to make me question why he was popular in the first place.
 
I saw it earlier today. It's thoroughly okay. Not his best, not his worst. Not utter dogshit like pretty much every 2010s movie he did. It was actually pretty intense at some parts. But very overly sentimental. It had some very goofy-looking CGI animals and it spends a little too much time doing what's essentially just a long car chase. And all the cool shit just comes in spurts. It's sort of a less good retread of Close Encounters. Good acting though. Everyone was pretty solid. The ending leaves a lot to be desired. Very abrupt and saccharine. It really loses a lot of good will in its third act and I think if it had a better resolution.

I feel like the premise of "shady quasi-government agency using hijacked ayy tech to do remote viewing and psychically control people" would have been a cool plot in and of itself, but Spielberg is really horror averse. I don't like the "ayys are here to do good" angle either. I've listened to enough abductee testimony to know they're bad, whatever they are. Movie uses the more currently approved term "experiencer" for abductees too, which I've never liked.

A few people actually got up and walked out during my showing.

My UFO autism activated during a part where they show footage of the Kecksburg retrieval operation. But, the craft they show doesn't actually look like what the testimony described. So, that bothered me. I did appreciate that it showed a few different flavors of greys though.

I'd probably give it a 6/10.
 
I haven't seen the movie yet but I've read the synopsis and I have some inquiries:

So this cybersecurity dude gets info about aliens and he wants to show it off to people but he has to run the fuck away from the government.
Why won't he just post it on 4chan and Kiwi Farms?
How about spread it all over Telegram?
Or maybe send it to every political content creator he can think of?

Once something is online, the government can try to get rid of it completely but it ain't happening.

Is that ever addressed or is Spielberg just a fucking geriatric who doesn't understand how easy it is to spread information these days?

He suggests that but then his all-knowing cool black guy superior just says "No don't do that".

Spielberg is a boomer who thinks that truth can only come from the news I guess. Which, I get it. From a visual storytelling perspective, the broadcast is cooler than just "Oh here's a bunch of alien footage on twitter". The reasoning is very contrived and it is one of the weakest aspects of the movie.
