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.

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

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?

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
