Disclosure Day (2026)

A cyber security specialist (Josh O'Connor) steals a piece of extraterrestrial technology and related files from a secret arm of the U.S. government and goes on the run with his girlfriend (Eve Hewson). Simultaneously, a television meteorologist girl (Emily Blunt) suddenly begins to speak in foreign languages and has psychic ability. Unaware of the other, they are both connected. Directed by Steven Spielberg (JAWS). With a few exceptions, Spielberg's output in the 2000s, hasn't interested me. I've skipped a few and those I've seen haven't impressed me much. They've ranged from good (THE POST) to mediocre (LINCOLN) to bad (INDIANA JONES AND THE CRYSTAL SKULL). The last Spielberg movie I really loved was WAR OF THE WORLDS (2005). This one is a return to top form for Spielberg. No, it's nowhere near his masterpieces (JAWS, CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND, E.T.) but honestly, he'll never get there again. Like Orson Welles and CITIZEN KANE or Spike Lee and DO THE RIGHT THING, he created great cinema early in his career and nothing he (or they) has come close to achieving the same result. But this one is wonderful and I won't discuss it much because the less you know about it, the better your experience will be. My only disappointment is the John Williams score which is serviceable at best. Emily Blunt is really terrific here and good enough to be considered when the year end best actress awards get handed out. With Colin Firth, Colman Domingo, Wyatt Russell (son of Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell) and Elizabeth Marvel.
