Disclosure Day feels like a Steven Spielberg movie from thirty years ago, in fact, it feels a lot like E.T. Except this time the action is loud and long beginning with a cage match where we find Josh O'Connor watching while waiting for instructions. He has something the bad industrial complex guys want. Soon the chase begins and the movie begins to look like One Battle After Another. Colin Firth, good old Mr. Darcy, plays the bad guy whose touch of an English accent gives him a proper Snidely Whiplash effect. Meanwhile, Emily Blunt, finding success as a wacky weather girl in Kansas City switches gears one night and begins forecasting in space talk. She and O'Connor meet and the chase doubles with a train encounter right out of a dozen other movies, many of them Spielberg's. Finally, the day arrives and our heroes reveal the secret of aliens among us. Disclosure Day is very commercial, with lots of big scenes and a ease of a sci-fi plot. Because I started watching Spielberg fifty years or more ago, nothing feels new here. Maybe younger people will disagree. Knock yourselves out.
