Disclosure Day reviews
Published public reviews
esta palomera pero no me gusto que no explican que esta pasando hasta los últimos 10 minutos
This movie was solid but I’d be lying if I said I thought it follows through on the hype it was getting. Emily Blunt delivers her best acting performance to date and the effects and film work were top tier - but a good majority of this movie you have no idea what’s going on and when it all finally comes together I’m not sure the pay off is quite worth the ride… But depending on what your expectations and sci-fi preferences are - your thoughts may vary - @{user:7A9E03D4-76C6-4E4B-BE2A-B0C9C45378C8} 7.2/10 Honestly the acting from Emily Blunt completely carries this one. I was a bit worried when they revealed the alien in the trailer leading up to the movie, and in my opinion it had a negative effect on the reveal. Also, we spent 15 mins on the sctual Disclosure Day which was the best part of the film. I wish we got that in the front end and moved on to the effects on society afterwards. - @{user:8FC6C06C-3C2A-4D74-8226-FF0B9C3F1F59} 7.7/10

Buena escena al final, pero todo lo demás muy goofy. La música y dirección parece 1970.
Palomera para una vez. La mayor parte de la película me la pasé intrigado. Llega al punto en que le empiezas a agarrar el hilo pero aún así considero que no se profundiza lo suficiente como para empatizar con los personajes. Aún así, se disfruta el misterio y las escenas de suspenso. Puede ser lenta en algunos puntos. Las actuaciones fueron impecables. Pobre de los aliens.

Fun and entertaining popcorn movie. Fell slightly short of being the massive Spielberg epic I perhaps (unwisely) expected. The plot felt unnecessarily convoluted throughout for what was ultimately revealed to be a relatively simple story. Lacked the gut punch effect of the enormity of such a story of the discovery of extra terrestrial life. The cgi effects really weren’t great and took me out of the movie at parts. Had the potential to be much more impactful than it was ….
You jump right in. The first act left me feeling very intrigued, but the pace of action left characters feeling flat. Emily Blunt’s character is definitely what kept me engaged. The second act was a cat and mouse “run away from the corporate / government bad guys” game that, although enjoyable and mysterious, I think lasted a bit too long. There are some laughable decisions within the writing that feel like something to perpetuate the chase rather than being interesting plot points. The story forgets about the modern news media experiencence, but once we actually get to the disclosure, it felt very touching. It was emotional watching the reporters’ reactions… right up until the very last second of the movie that will piss off viewers, even though you’ll see it coming.
The biggest highlights were Emily Blunt and Wyatt Russel. The other two main characters Jane and Kellner, I felt like had very little on-screen chemistry and their line delivery sounded off or forced to me. Honestly, almost the entire cast came across as this way with their line reading. Emily Blunt makes this movie a “watch” but truly, this comes across as a straight to streaming, Netflix, put this movie on during Thanksgiving or Christmas with the family kind of film. Also for some reason, I don’t know why I feel this way, but this movie reminds me of movies like Home Alone? Lol, maybe the score? This felt like a modern 90’s film? But main standout is probably the ending and certain emotional standout moments from Emily Blunt.
