Steven Spielberg’s new film ‘Disclosure Day’ is a classic adventure that invites viewers into its world with a thrilling opening sequence. The movie follows Daniel Kellner, played by Josh O’Connor, as he becomes embroiled in a mystery involving a private cybersecurity firm and the discovery of life elsewhere in the universe.
A Spiritual Element
The story, conceived by Spielberg and scripted by David Koepp, has a spiritual element, with characters questioning the utility of the information they uncover. The film features a strong cast, including Emily Blunt as a local broadcaster and Colin Firth as the malevolent leader of the company seeking to keep the information under wraps.
The movie’s set-pieces are old-fashioned, tactile, and delightfully sane, with car chases and a thrilling sequence involving a train. The John Williams score is unmistakably his, with a very undeniably John Williams sound that may produce goosebumps.
While the emotional trajectory of the characters may not be especially compelling, the film itself is a profoundly emotional experience. Spielberg’s last three movies have all felt like farewells in some way, but ‘Disclosure Day’ is a classic, big-hearted adventure that reminds viewers of the power of his storytelling.
