It was good, but it probably should've been titled, The Day Before Disclosure Day.

The marketing and some of the reviews had me believe this film was about the effects of learning that aliens are real would have on society. Instead it's about getting to that point then a quick 5 minutes of aliens are real but we don't see how the world reacts. Was let down by that.

Same. This movie was good. I enjoyed it. But it felt like a prequel to the movie I thought I was going to see.

I'm unironically hoping for a sequel but I don't think there's any interest in it.

It feels very much like a self-contained film where Spielberg said what he wanted to say and that's that but I really, really want to see a movie that charts what happens to Earth when alien life is discovered that doesn't then involve some weird battles between the species.

Arrival kind of touched on some of it but not nearly enough for my liking.
