The man that brought Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977) and ET (1982), returns to the Alien theme with Disclosure Day. Do beings from outer space actually exist? Are we being watched? From the universe of incredible storytelling comes another film that will make you think, are we not alone. The fantasy beliefs are about to be revealed, as the strange sightings we have all heard about might just be true.

On the run with his girlfriend, Jane Blankenship (Eve Hewson), after stealing sensitive information, cybersecurity expert Daniel Kellner (Josh O'Connor), is searching for a way to connect to the underground group. What he has can destroy what the head of the Wardex Corporation, Noah Scanlon (Colin Firth), has been protecting from the world. With help from Wardex defector, Hugo Wakefield (Colman Domingo), he must locate the other key team member to possibly save the planet.

Working as a television meteorologist in Kansas City, Margaret Fairchild (Emily Blunt), discovers that she now has the ability to understand and read people's thoughts. With this new ability she senses that she must warn and assist anyone she comes in contact with. Putting her on a path that she will find herself following a direction she cannot prevent herself from heading toward. Reluctantly getting assistance from her boyfriend and musician, Jackson (Wyatt Russell), their future location appears in Margaret's head, as many outcomes occur.

As usual director and writer Steven Spielberg puts together an entertaining storyline that leads us on a path of enlightenment. Like always he develops his journey through many different situations and brings us all over God's creation. This time it was a little hard to keep track where everyone was, but it does not ruin the narrative. Spielberg does an excellent job with the special effects and includes outstanding stunt work, mixed with amazing computer-generated imagery (CGI). As for the talent, the performance was magnificent, especially from our main stars, Emily, Josh, Colman, and Colin.

Having a feeling that this was his intention to finish where he left off with Close Encounters and throwing in a few familiar instances of a few other movies. I still feel that he got his message across and displayed it in a wonderful way, even though it is possible to miss some of the symbolism used.

While watching the movie, I noticed a few odd things that happened. For a serious drama there were quite a few instances to chuckle at, of course I kept thinking there was one thing that was left out? The one person that says, “I knew it!”. Nonetheless, this tale was very fun and worth seeing in your local theater.
