I've been watching Steven Spielberg's films since I was a child, and I must confess that this makes it difficult for me to be impartial or objective when writing a review of one of his productions. For me, Spielberg is synonymous with fantasy, entertainment, and wonder. His films have given me precious moments in the theater and at home, and have also deeply moved me, as in the case of "Schindler's List" (1993). He is the great magician of contemporary cinema.

His new film is titled "Disclosure Day," and in it he returns to the theme of aliens, with which he already made great films like "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" (1977) and "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" (1982). This time we find two British actors, Emily Blunt and Josh O'Connor, in the lead roles. Among the familiar faces are also Colin Firth and Colman Domingo.

This new film has details we already saw in the two mentioned earlier (I won't say which ones) that help create an enigmatic atmosphere surrounding the action. The film also has a significant religious dimension, very well handled, in my opinion, regarding the tremendous repercussions that the discovery that we are not alone in the universe would have for humanity. I found it to be an excellent film, but I only have one reservation: Spielberg is too optimistic in his ending. I think that in a world flooded with artificial intelligence productions, our capacity for wonder is diminishing considerably. Furthermore, the process of communicating an extraordinary event wouldn't be as quick as we see in this film, for the same reasons.

All in all, once again Spielberg has managed to make a long film (it runs for 2 hours and 25 minutes) fly by. He once again proves himself a genius of entertainment and imagination, and that's something I greatly value in all his films. I recommend it. Here's the trailer:
