It'll be news to no one that Steven Spielberg has directed several of cinema's defining sci-fi movies: Close Encounters, E.T. and Jurassic Park among them. With this track record, an original sci-fi blockbuster from Hollywood's greatest living commercial filmmaker arrives burdened with expectations few movies could hope to reach. Well, Spielberg is no ordinary filmmaker, and Disclosure Day is an extraordinary movie.
Shrouded in the kind of pre-release secrecy typically reserved for comic-book fare, Disclosure Day has remained something of a mystery right up to the eve of release. Speculation around the movie has ranged from the idea that it's a stealth sequel to Close Encounters of the Third Kind, to the deeply conspiratorial prospect that Spielberg is working with the US government to reveal the truth about aliens to the world via the medium of cinema.
