Review: Disclosure Day (2026)
By William Pattison
This time I got the latest film by Stephen Spielburg and
what I consider a sequel to Close Encounters…
A weather news anchor begins experiencing strange behaviors
and discovers she can suddenly speak various dialects--including what appears
to be an alien language. At the same time, a mysterious man with an unknown
past comes into possession of stolen government evidence proving the existence
of extraterrestrial life and is determined to make it public. For reasons
neither fully understands, the two are drawn together. If they can navigate
government agents, suspicious spouses, and others trying to stop them, they may
reveal a truth that could change humanity forever.
Well, it’s finally
happened, Stephen Speilburg has done a sequel to Close Encounters of the Third
Kind, even though he won’t admit it.
The reason he doesn’t admit it is because there are no
direct references to Close Encounter. In fact this film deals with the victims
of life long alien abductions and the stories of the non- government agency of
the modern UFO, Oh, how stupid of me. I mean UAP culture. But, Stephen being a
sneaky bastard put in one subtle reference that screams, THIS IS A CLOSE
RNCOUNTERS SEQUEL!!!! I’ll reveil it
later..
This is a wonderful harken back to the good ole days of the 80s
but with a dash of the modern. Shit, Stephen even dragged John Williams out of
the old files home in his wheelchair and got him to do the music for this “Not
Close Encounters Sequel.”
This film is not shy on the action and even has a scene
where the “non-government” agency tries to kill the two main characters.
Emiley Blunt does an outstanding job as Margaret, one of the
chosen ones. This poor girl had a lot on her plate because she had the entire
film on her sholders and she had to learn to deliver lines in multiple
languages, including alien.
In fact everyone in this film did outstanding jobs,
including the background people. But of course this is a Stephen Spielburg
film, it’s expected.
Now, to the proof that this is actual undeniable PROOF that
this is the sequel to Close Encounters. In a flashback, when Margaret goes to
the reconstruction of her family home, she relives her first abduction. During
it she sings a song to calm herself. Guess what song? The Jimmeny Cricket song from Pinochio. The
same song Richard Dreifus had the music box of in CLOSE ENCOÚNTERS. The fucking
music they played at the end of the movie!!!
So, is this a good sequel to Close Encounters? Fuck yeah. I
loved it. It gave me the tingles and brought me back to a world free of WOKE
and The Message. It reminded me of a time when Spielburg and Lucas were the
Titans of Hollywood and summer movies were truly magical. It is a time I sorely
miss and mourn.
So, what is my rating? What the fuck you think???
EIGHtIES AWESOMETACULAR!!!!
