Steven Spielberg‘s “Disclosure Day” has been unveiled to members of the film press ahead of its June 12 release date, and first reactions are calling the sci-fi UFO-focused movie “Spielberg’s best film in 20 years,” with high praise for star Emily Blunt.
Gizmodo senior entertainment reporter Germain Lussier took to X to share his reaction, writing, “I loved ‘Disclosure Day.’ A dense roller coaster ride blending chase film, love story, & mystery, all wrapped in sci-fi wonder. It’s Spielberg’s best film in 20 years, filled w/ all the magic that makes his films so special, plus an all-time character/performance by Emily Blunt.”
Collider’s Editor-in-Chief, Steven Weintraub, agreed with Lussier’s sentiments, saying, “In a shock to absolutely no one, Steven Spielberg has delivered another towering home run with ‘Disclosure Day.’ I could go on and on about what I loved, but I was lucky enough to see the movie knowing almost nothing, and I strongly recommend you do the same. Stop watching the trailers. The one thing I will say: Emily Blunt is incredible. I know big summer movies aren’t usually the kinds of performances that get awards-season attention, but once people see what she does in this…”
Film reporter Bill Bria also spotlighted the film’s “breathtaking compositions, David Koepp’s ‘X-FILES-meets-The Bible’ script is one big high-wire act, Emily Blunt’s most accomplished performance, and John Williams’ best score in years,” calling the movie “riveting, moving stuff.”
Tessa Smith, a film and TV reporter at Rotten Tomatoes, says she “shed a tear at the end.” “‘Disclosure Day’ is ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL! Truly something special,” Smith wrote. “I was hanging onto every word, captivated by the story as it all played out. The score perfectly elevates every single scene. Part mystery, part Twlight Zone, something new entirely…WOW.”
The film’s official logline reads, “If you found out we weren’t alone, if someone showed you, proved it to you, would that frighten you? This summer, the truth belongs to seven billion people. We are coming close to … ‘Disclosure Day.’”
Blunt plays a Kansas City TV meteorologist who is suddenly overcome by a mysterious extraterrestrial force while taping a weather segment live on air, and is joined by Josh O’Connor who stars as an alien life believer, determined to reveal the truth about life outside of Earth to the rest of the world. Colin Firth, Eve Hewson, Colman Domingo, Wyatt Russell and Henry Lloyd-Hughes round out the cast.
Spielberg developed the story with screenwriter David Koepp, who he previously collaborated with on the films “Jurassic Park,” “Jurassic Park: The Lost World,” “War of the Worlds” and “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.”
“Disclosure Day” marks the 37th film that Spielberg has directed. The auteur’s filmography is packed with high profile sci-fi titles, including the “Jurassic Park” movies and “War of the Worlds,” in addition to “Close Encounters of the Third Kind,” “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial,” “Minority Report,” “A.I. Artificial Intelligence” and “Ready Player One.”

DISCLOSURE DAY is top tier Spielberg, as exhilarating as RAIDERS but with the emotional texture & increased ambition of his post-9/11 work. Right from the opening Spielberg lays down the gauntlet and reminds you that he does this stuff better than anybody in the history of film. https://t.co/Q8ZAWAZE0J

I can't remember the last time I loved a Spielberg movie as much as #DisclosureDay — thrilling, funny, deeply emotional and impeccably acted (Emily Blunt, in particular, is astounding). Full of mystery and wonder, it proves that nobody does it quite like Spielberg. Just great.👽 pic.twitter.com/COlDCJlILZ
