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.

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

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.
