#DisclosureDay hits the silver screen - but its far from Spielbergs best movie - review by DSCENE Editor
@zarkodavinic
Steven Spielberg returns to sci-fi with Disclosure Day, a film that arrives with all the weight of a cultural event and, at its best, earns some of that anticipation. Scripted by David Koepp from a story by Spielberg himself, the film centers on Margaret Fairchild (Emily Blunt), a cybersecurity expert unwittingly drawn into a decades-old government cover-up surrounding extraterrestrial contact. She is pulled into the orbit of Dr. Daniel Kellner (Josh O’Connor), a scientist-turned-whistleblower who has uncovered a seismic truth while working for the shadowy Wardex Corporation, and together they race to expose it, chased by Wardex’s calculating leader Noah Scanlon (Colin Firth) while aided by an underground network of truth-seekers helmed by scientist Hugo Wakefield (Colman Domingo).
The premise is classically Spielbergian: ordinary people caught in extraordinary circumstances, forced to confront what the powerful have chosen to conceal. And for stretches, Disclosure Day is genuinely thrilling. Koepp‘s screenplay moves with precision, the cinematography is rich, and John Williams‘ score, as ever, does the emotional heavy lifting that the script occasionally neglects.
