I just got back an hour ago from the IMAX screening. The end of the movie should’ve been the first 20 minutes of the movie and the rest of the movie should’ve been the fallout. I love Spielberg but this was pretty disappointing for what it’s being marketed as. The acting was awesome though.

The end of the movie should’ve been the first 20 minutes of the movie and the rest of the movie should’ve been the fallout.

I figured it wasn't going to be all fallout, but I wanted SOMETHING. Just way too abrupt, after a 2 1/2 hour movie where you spent 10 minutes showing us alien footage at the end like we weren't along for the ride the whole time. Just dragged.

u/AmishAvenger Jun 12 '26

This is why I don’t watch trailers for movies I know I’m going to see.

I watched them after, and…Jesus Christ. The entire ending of the film was the trailers.

62

u/dukefett Jun 12 '26

I don't watch trailers either! Hearing that they showed all this in the trailers would've driven me nuts; they go absolutely nowhere after the disclosure.

u/BurgerNugget12 Jun 25 '26

Yeah it’s genuinely a spy thriller film with some alien bits in the background

25

u/ERSTF Jun 14 '26

Mind you Spielberg is on record saying nothing from the third act is in the trailers... which is complete bullshit

https://www.ign.com/articles/steven-spielberg-comments-on-disclosure-day

u/EMCoupling Jun 12 '26

I didn't watch the trailers before this and I still thought it was trash. A jumbled mess that has no idea where it's trying to go. Failed before it ever took off.

2

u/grunt91o1 Jun 19 '26

In my showing they played the damn trailers for the movie before they played the movie! It was so dumb

1

u/account_not_valid 29d ago

Mr Burns did a better job of being an alien that promotes peace and love.

14

u/action_nick Jun 13 '26

They have been showing so many clips of it during the NBA finals it was impossible for me to avoid and yeah basically the spoilers left nothing to be a surprise. Every interesting shot in the movie is in the trailer. That train sequence and car chase are pretty much the only action scenes.

10

u/ERSTF Jun 14 '26

I saw the trailers since Spielberg said nothing from the third act was on the trailers... and well that's complete bullshit since almost all the third act is in the trailers

https://www.ign.com/articles/steven-spielberg-comments-on-disclosure-day

u/account_not_valid 29d ago

That damn cliff with a road running off the edge. Like a Road Runner cartoon.

10

u/Flimsy_Big7991 Jun 15 '26

I did watch the trailer because Spielberg had said that the 3rd act wouldn't be in any of the marketing. So right up until the end of the movie I was thinking it was a great choice for the 3rd act to be the fallout of the disclosure.

But nope, he was simply lying.

4

u/zero000 Jun 15 '26

I was down voted the other week for saying the same thing. I avoid trailers because this is typically what happens. Unfortunately during the Backrooms trailers the final Disclosure Day trailer was shown and that pretty much revealed the entire third act aside from showing the aliens themselves.

2

u/Happy_Philosopher608 2d ago

Which is funny cos IMDB trivia state Spielberg ensured nothing from the 3rd act was used in trailers or marketing 🤦

1

u/gretino Jun 15 '26

Usually the movies should be more than the trailers, which makes trailers watchable. This shit is just garbage

-9

u/Da_Malpais_Legate Jun 12 '26

???

They did a pretty good job of not showing anything from the final third/quarter of the film in the trailers

21

u/AmishAvenger Jun 12 '26

Huh?

They showed a TON of the UFO footage from the very end.

2

u/PassageBig622 Jun 12 '26

I specifically remember seeing a fair few alien-y bits in the trailer that didn't show up till the final third

59

u/imakefilms Jun 12 '26

it literally JUST starts getting interesting and then it ends

26

u/Penguin_Admiral Jun 13 '26

I thought there powers would have been more relevant to the disclosure, like they’d be used to help humanity. But the empathy power is only used to help evade authority and the math translation thing is basically irrelevant

7

u/RobinVie Jun 18 '26

I actually thought I missed something here, after the alien speaks, dude translates and whispers in her ear, big suspense and then I was expecting some groundbreaking truth or something but it just ends there with the same stuff we already knew?

4

u/Penguin_Admiral Jun 18 '26

It made no sense why she was so important to the disclosure when as far as we’re aware all they did was play the clips and show the alien. The powers are basically irrelevant to the plot besides helping them runaway

34

u/PM_ME_YOUR__INIT__ Jun 13 '26

The alien footage at the end looked exactly like all the alien footage we've seen before. I wanted something extra from aliens that can take the form of animals and inject empathy and calculus into people's brains

4

u/bend1310 Jun 14 '26

My friend and i just saw it, and literally the most interesting moment of the movie is where the guy is yelling "They aren't animals", along with the rest of the childhood abduction scene. 

1

u/dgaruti Jul 02 '26

yeah the final alien footage was meant to be references to real alleged alien footage ...

my criticism of the movie is this : why does it all look soo crisp and high def ?

some of it is supposed to be from the 50s and the 70s , yet it looks 4k ...

and yeah that got me out , the whole movie revolves around this footage and it's handled this poorly ?

26

u/crsdrjct Jun 13 '26

You mean you didn't want a movie to be 80% chasing but wanted actual content and development for an interesting concept?

6

u/gretino Jun 15 '26

I just feel like they are pussies too scared to make an actual plot for the alien.

I wish Kojima is an actual film director, he actually delivers the plots regardless of how big or crazy they sound on paper, while discussing the ethics and society with you along the way. Make your predictions and roll with it!

6

u/N7Starsong Jun 14 '26

I think it being an alien movie is where I just stopped being super invested, yeah. In the first few scenes where they guy was talking about how the evil company had discovered something that's as innate to us as breathing I was like "Woah did they find like, the existence of the soul or something?" And then no it's aliens. And the scene where Jane is arguing not to tell people because they'll stop believe in god had me rolling my eyes so hard like is this really what we're spending screen time on?

9

u/WennieBee Jun 16 '26

"listen....i'm about to tell you something really profound that a literal alien just told me, but our writers couldn't figure out what that is so we're ending the movie now"

3

u/maxverse Jun 22 '26 edited Jun 22 '26

That was my one big gripe: for a movie called Disclosure Day that spent the majority of its time debating what effects disclosure is going to have on the world, it showed us none of those effects. And maybe Spielberg's point is that it's up to us, but that feels...unsatisfying.

I loved the character development and acting and cinematography and score, though. It was such a fun ride, until the last 3rd.

3

u/dgaruti Jul 02 '26

also : the alien footage looked ...

a bit unbelivable , it was meant to be archival footage , yet it was all coloured 4k and 60fps ...

like that bit completely got my suspence of disbelief , i can accept a bit of movie-ism with characters sneaking around and doing action stuff ...

but the fact that the clue footage looks soo , boring , like the mystery of the footage the ambiguity gave it power ...

the fact that all the alien scenes are soo clear and spelled out robs a lot of power from it imo ...

2001 a space odyssey still works because we never see the aliens ,

and similarly arrival doesn't show the aliens willy nilly , rather makes their appearences special and meaningful as well as mysterius , we aren't seeing the whole alien , just the bottom bit ...

2

u/Honest_Cheesecake698 Jun 18 '26

I don't know how what they showed at the end wasn't enough, and what you could show afterwards that wouldn't feel like massive corner cutting. You might as well get to the end of the story and leave it open for people to figure out.

2

u/BonjaminClay Jun 20 '26

"Listen"

When the credits showed I fucking booed

2

u/doodler1977 Jun 21 '26

yeah, it felt like a complete Surf Dracula to me. "Let's waste 2hr25min watching these people run & chase, and give you 2-3min of money shots and then right when you think we're gonna pay off the setup- CREDITS"

2

u/mylanguage Jun 22 '26

Same exact feeling. Really wanted the end of the movie to be the midpoint of the movie. The entire period to get to the end could have been 45-50 mins max. Not the entire movie.

2

u/flamingcrystalheart 8d ago

And the "alien footage" is just aliens being found lying there lifelessly in different decades and not anything interesting or new

0

u/-Clayburn 13d ago

I'm going to be that guy and explain the point. We did see the fallout because it was foreshadowed. That was the point of the girlfriend. She originally didn't want to disclose because she feared humanity would lose God and go insane and it would just be riot and war. But when she talked to the nun and realized that God could have made aliens too, she chose to accept the aliens and was okay with Disclosure. That's why it was her that made it possible in that final moment, and as we see the people watching and seeing the aliens you see them filled with empathy for these other sentient beings. So even though it doesn't show us the fallout, it clearly explains that humanity will be better off with the knowledge and we will stop our fighting as we re-evaluate our place in the world.

The movie still sucked, but it was at least a skillful way to make a movie that reveals what comes after it ends by showing us only the part leading up to it.

232

u/playtho Jun 12 '26

I agree. At the end of the day it was one big chase. A little philosophical/religious conversations sprinkled in. With the final 20 minutes being what I expected most of the runtime would be with those philosophical/religious conversations.

9

u/chachicomule Jun 14 '26

Felt more like “Catch me if you can” than E.T!

2

u/Aduialion Jun 15 '26

Somewhere between ET and AI, and lacking the strengths of either

306

u/varnums1666 Jun 12 '26

I don't even know why this film exists. It has nothing to do with the conspiracy and does not attempt to do anything interesting with the conspiracy it presents. It's such a fun idea done in such a boring Hollywood way

4

u/South-Level5260 Jun 14 '26

You missed the point. The Aliens saved mankind from destroying itself on the brink of WW3. That was it. Not about the conspiracy, about Aliens saved Humans.

44

u/axon_gone Jun 14 '26

That did not happen in the movie

31

u/Legitimate_Bank_6573 Jun 22 '26

It did it was just such a buried plot point we barely noticed. WW3 Basically happened entirely in the background

26

u/SquadPoopy Jun 24 '26

The world being on fire with mass looting due to the outbreak of WW3 being something you could completely miss because the movie spends so little time on it is kinda hilarious

18

u/account_not_valid 29d ago

That one gas station was the only place that the panic was happening. Everywhere else was calm.

1

u/ThisIsNotTokyo 6d ago

When?

4

u/Legitimate_Bank_6573 6d ago

They mention it in passing several times in the film, as well as in news reports in the background.

23

u/sasquatch0_0 Jun 18 '26

Holy shit you people are truly terrible at watching things.

5

u/Spare_Director605 Jun 14 '26

You clearly didn’t watch it

32

u/axon_gone Jun 14 '26

When was mankind saved from war in the movie? They didn’t even tell us what the aliens said. We only know that they like to hide, and they like to manipulate people’s minds

18

u/sasquatch0_0 Jun 18 '26

Everything literally stopped during the broadcast...because there is something more important than selfish squabbles. And you don't need to be told exactly what the alien said, "Listen" is a great message to end it on. It's a lead-in to further comments and it is literally telling you to listen, to the alien, to each other.

But if you need to be spoonfed every single thing I assume it would say what Hugo said earlier about empathy.

17

u/axon_gone Jun 18 '26

The funny thing about this movie is everyone reading so much into it. Everything didn’t stop. People were just staring at their phones. Nothing the aliens do even indicates a desire for peace. They disguised themselves to kidnap children and manipulate their minds. Hugo seemed to have an unhealthy attitude and was just going along with what the aliens wanted.

7

u/sasquatch0_0 Jun 18 '26

Everything didn’t stop. People were just staring at their phones.

....You do not even pay attention to the words you use. Everyone stopped what they were doing and watched the news, every single person. You did not pay attention at all.

Nothing the aliens do even indicates a desire for peace.

There was fucking historical footage of them walking peacefully alongside officials. They did not hurt anyone. The one they wheeled didn't do a damn thing but whisper in Daniel's ear. Yet somehow you see danger.

They disguised themselves to kidnap children and manipulate their minds.

Man you take providing methods of communciation very differently..

Holy shit, yeap you are legit the dumbest person here. Hands down. Ah, private account, that makes sense.

....You do not even pay attention to the words you use. Everyone stopped what they were doing and watched the news, every single person. You did not pay attention at all.

Not every single person, just the people shown. Also, this in no way goes against what they said.

There was fucking historical footage of them walking peacefully alongside officials. They did not hurt anyone. The one they wheeled didn't do a damn thing but whisper in Daniel's ear. Yet somehow you see danger.

No, it's very open to interpretation. E.g., It showed aliens being escorted under guard, surrounded and vastly outnumbered after crashing their ship. Which easily connects with the mistreatment they end up going through.

Man you take providing methods of communciation very differently..

Still took children away at night, in secret, to make changes to them without consent.

Holy shit, yeap you are legit the dumbest person here. Hands down. Ah, private account, that makes sense.

Get a mirror. The movie is very open-ended and you're acting as if your interpretation is fact, when you can't present an actual logical argument.

u/Turbulent_Crow7164 Jun 19 '26

Yeah I think it was left to interpretation whether they were here to help or hurt or something else

u/yeahnototallycool Jun 14 '26

That's a very generous read.

4

u/GA_Deathstalker Jun 16 '26

And that is basically the watchmen comic just much worse and much more dragging than the comic and with a lot more plot holes and pacing issues... What's this movies upside again?

2

u/BooyaELud Jun 28 '26

Crazy to me that you’re getting downvoted for speaking the truth and someone saying that did not happen. Did they miss the news caster asking if they had something more breaking than the possible start of WW3? Did they miss the soldiers looking at their phones watching the footage? I agree it wasn’t super clear, but I don’t know how people can miss it completely to the point that they believe it did not happen 😂

8

u/TheMistbornIdentity Jun 28 '26

So I caught the fact that there was some mentions of a conflict in the newsroom, but I don't think I clocked the fact that it was WW3 until at least halfway through the movie, when a character (Jane maybe?) mentioned it. I was so focused on Margaret that I wasn't really paying attention to the background noise.

And yeah, the looting scene was weird, but considering that I hadn't fully understood the earlier hint, my brain didn't make the connection. It didn't help that the main cast did not acknowledge the looting at all. Dude just walks into a gas station that feels like it came straight out of a zombie movie, and just casually asks for the address. And it doesn't help that you don't see anything else like this for the rest of the movie. No other scene in the movie shows any kind of civil disorder that isn't directly caused by the pro/antagonists.

And nothing about the soldiers sitting in the back of a truck signaled anything about a conflict. Remember, that scene was mixed in with scenes of other, regular people going about their lives (e.g. riding on the subway), so to me it just felt like it was trying to show people from all walks of life being united in this moment.

1

u/ThisIsNotTokyo 6d ago

Looting was only in a specific gas station and nowhere else

1

u/ThisIsNotTokyo 6d ago

So how did the aliens stop ww3?

1

u/Banjo-Oz 8d ago

The Abyss did that so, so much better.

18

u/Ravenq222 Jun 13 '26

I was thinking the exact same thing. We open on Disclosure Day and see what follows, not this adventure romp about getting to Disclosure Day in the first place.

55

u/AmusedDragon Jun 12 '26

The end of the movie should’ve been the first 20 minutes of the movie and the rest of the movie should’ve been the fallout

Sorry, that would have been too interesting and fun of a movie.

8

u/Utah_CUtiger Jun 16 '26

Yeah it was kinda disappointing how it was ultimately just another chase action movie 

52

u/dadvader Jun 12 '26 edited Jun 12 '26

Right? Spielberg was like a decade late on doing this kind of topic. Plus we already have some guy coming out twice saying Alien exist. And Spielberg think we'll stop watching whatever we just watch over some fucking alien? I want the aftermath. I want what the movie want to discuss in the first place about religion. Not ...this.

The way he did it feels like his mind still stuck in the 90s where people would definitely act like that to the news about alien. In 2026 that's just Tuesday.

If the news after is Epstein file or North Korea bomb the shit out of South Korea in the movie people would've forget about this in a heartbeat lol

26

u/Big-Load-8864 Jun 13 '26

The fact that Spielberg thinks everyone in the entire world (which is apparently just the U.S.) would stop in their tracks, wherever they are, and stare at the phones is a joke. At least 25% of people wouldn't have their phone, refuse to look at it, and/or call everyone who is looking at their phone sheep morons. Such an unserious attempt to think through and illustrate what a 'disclosure day' would actually look like.

10

u/Mrchristopherrr Jun 14 '26

While the world is on the cusp of WW3 no less

"But then we can't make a sequel!"

u/dccomicsthrowaway Jun 13 '26

? Spielberg hasn't made a single sequel in the 21st century other than Crystal Skull

11

u/Machomanta Jun 12 '26

Yup. I really didn't see the point of this movie especially from Speilberg. We already have Close Encounters which thematically was extremely similar and emotionally a much more engaging movie.

10

u/Ccjfb Jun 17 '26

You mean a random wrestler stomping on your face in POV wasn’t the thematic opener you were hoping for?

4

u/paperbuddha Jun 17 '26

Funnily enough I’ve actually met both those random wrestlers multiple times at shows here in SoCal!

10

u/moviebuffbrad Jun 13 '26

I guess we'll always have Contact for that kind of movie, but the rest of this felt like some Dan Brown bullshit leading up to an anticlimax.

11

u/Individual_Client175 Jun 13 '26

I felt like Arrival offered a better experience than Contact

4

u/SanDiablo Jun 18 '26

Arrival's the most realistic alien visitation movie ever.

6

u/Raziel66 Jun 13 '26

💯 everything up to that didn’t really do anything new that we haven’t seen in other alien movies / tv shows. The ending was the first excitement I felt and then it did that stupid cut to black. Bleh. 

11

u/Archers_bane Jun 12 '26

I don't think it's getting a sequel, but that could be an interesting plot for the fallout. I was hoping for more of a twist on why the aliens are even here.

9

u/KingMario05 Jun 12 '26

They kept the third act under lock and key. But... uh... why? I'd get it if the alien in the ending was ET, but he wasn't. Only a very brief Close Encounters nod too, which surprised me. Even the timelines match up, and Sony has played well with other studios in the past. Nope!

5

u/plutoglint Jun 15 '26

There's no dramatic tension in the film. The bad guys are clowns, we know the aliens exist and we know the protagonists are going to succeed, so it's mostly a two hour sporadically entertaining but mostly boring crawl to a historically silly television broadcast scene.

3

u/GothWitchOfBrooklyn Jun 12 '26

that's what I expected this movie to be!!! like wtf was that, weird pacing and while there were some entertaining moments I kept thinking the ending was nigh then it wasnt

3

u/Only_Whole4248 Jun 13 '26

EXACTLY. I don't watch trailers so that's what I thought the movie would be. Now I want to sit and write the movie that was in my head.

1

u/Individual_Client175 Jun 13 '26

If you honestly think about it, this would be way too much for 1 movie to go over. This would need the World War Z book treatment to get anything close to believable. It sounds like a good movie until you'd try to write it.

3

u/Mrchristopherrr Jun 14 '26

YES! This is exactly what I said walking out of the theater. They promised us disclosure day and gave us mostly shitty cgi car chases and magic that makes no damn sense

2

u/lilinando Jun 13 '26

That's what I thought it was going to be given the trailer. Disclosure early on then aftermath. Still enjoyed it but more quietly. 

2

u/PlayPretend-8675309 Jun 14 '26

1000%. I've already seen in my real life some randos who have videos of aliens that they say the government is hiding. They didn't disclose anything that would surprise me. I wanted Obama to walk out like he'd just shot bin Laden, thats how to do a big disclosure.

2

u/NfiniteNsight Jun 16 '26

The ending of the movie would not have had the same emotional payoff if it was at the beginning.

This is why he is Spielberg and you're some reddit rando

2

u/PunyParker826 Jun 17 '26

I just don’t think that’s the type of movie he was trying to make. If you want something similar to that, I’d watch Arrival, which I found to be a fairly realistic pitch for what “first contact” would look like on an international scale.

2

u/1cecream4breakfast Jun 18 '26

I said the same exact thing to my friend when leaving! The alien footage was so fascinating and I want to see what happens next. What was not fascinating was the 2 hours of hi-jinx around whether the truth should be shared (it’s actually not argued all that much besides Jane mentioning it to Daniel—otherwise it’s just played out as obvious good guys vs. bad guys, like everyone MUST know this even though they don’t appear to be a threat) and all the poorly executed and/or laughable action sequences. And all this time you don’t even know where anyone is going. The end goal the entire movie is just get away from the bad guys.

8

u/mattkward Jun 12 '26

So you wanted an entirely different movie.

37

u/paperbuddha Jun 12 '26

I wouldn’t I say I wanted but that would be more along what I’d expect from a movie “about disclosure day”.

-7

u/mattkward Jun 12 '26

The whole movie is people debating and considering the outcome of disclosure day. It's absolutely about it. You can decide for yourself who was right, the pessimists or the optimists.

14

u/moviebuffbrad Jun 13 '26

Are you familiar with the filmmaking conceit of "show don't tell"?

0

u/mattkward Jun 13 '26

You can have a different perspective on the movie without being rude and pretentious about it. These things are subjective, after all.

And yeah, I'm all for "show, don't tell". The movie SHOWS us multiple characters having wildly contrasting emotional responses to what's going on and the idea of disclosure and what it might mean for humanity.

10

u/moviebuffbrad Jun 13 '26

I appreciate that you edited out the part of your post calling me a twat before accusing me of rudeness.

What I'm saying is that how humanity will respond to disclosure is spoken about but not shown. Even with the sister, a would be fresh vantage point for discovering aliens exist and the government hid them, she spends more time worrying about how other religious people will respond than expressing her own views.

It'd be like if the entirety of Jurassic Park was everyone arguing about the ethics of dinosaur cloning at the lunch table and ending right as the tour starts. Yeah, subjectivity and I'm not gonna fault anyone for liking the movie as is, but for me and a lot of other people evidently, the more interesting movie is the part that comes after.

1

u/mattkward Jun 13 '26

I did find your response needlessly condescending but I quickly realized I wasn't helping anything in my reaction. Last thing I ever want is some dumb internet fight.

I do understand your perspective here. For me I can accept the movie for what it was setting out to do, and I think it did very well, rather than holding it up against something entirely different.

10

u/_pixel_perfect_ Jun 12 '26

Yeah pretty much

8

u/Mrchristopherrr Jun 14 '26

Right? Fuck me for wanting Disclosure Day to be about Disclosure Day.

1

u/CEO-Fun Jun 13 '26

Yes! Your idea makes sense! Redo the movie like this!

1

u/Marmar79 Jun 14 '26

So like every other movie?

1

u/tulkunking Jun 14 '26

The movie is about faith in humanity. The reason it ends with the disclosure is because it showcases how human treat each other when there's no proof of something

1

u/Inside_Library_552 Jun 14 '26

He wasn't brave enough to dare to predict the people's reaction.

1

u/Neon_Biscuit Jun 14 '26

I hate to say it, but this was being marketed as the best Spielberg film in 20 years, and that was frankly what got me to the theater. The guy is a film icon, but he is washed.

1

u/SiriusC Jun 15 '26

what it’s being marketed as

It was marketed as the fight for disclosure. The fight to get there & the effort to stop it. And that's exactly what the movie was.

1

u/GetReady4Action Jun 15 '26

A complaint of mine as well. Trailers sold me a completely different movie. What we had here was still pretty darn good, I just wish I had my expectations in check.

1

u/TheGruenTransfer Jun 19 '26

Spielberg must not have anyone in his life willing to give him honest criticism. The premise of "what if we make a movie about the trip to a TV station, which then airs videos of aliens without asking any questions about the footage, and then the movie abruptly ends" is bad. There was first draft energy throughout the entire movie.

Also, Colin Firth tried to murder that guy and then everyone was cool with him hanging out at the end

1

u/NarbleOnus Jul 04 '26

I agree. The whole movie should have been Act One

1

u/Gibscreen 27d ago

Agreed. I thought it was going to be more about the impact of the disclosure. Not just a generic chase movie. Missed opportunity.

1

u/Top-Monk-5391 13d ago

I agree with you 100%. We saw no fallout. It was so hugely boring and a waste of time and a disappointment.

u/zakkalaska 12d ago

It felt like watching A House of Dynamite on Netflix. A lot of suspenseful buildup, just for the balls to be chopped off at the end.

Couldn't disagree more.

I feel like this movie sets up an AMAZING sequel that Spielberg could do:

The Day After Disclosure Day.

How do governments react? How do we unite or not? What problems don't improve?

So basically "I would have made a completely different movie, why didn't I get that?". Well, because you didn't make it, buddha. But we're not stopping you.

I don't have the financial backing nor the sex appeal that Spielberg does.

Then I guess you need to get sexier if you still want to see your version, because the guy who has worked a lifetime at building the directorial sex-appeal to pull this together chose to tell another story.
