Plot holes of Disclosure day that I need to air out
I'm seeing so many posts about why this wasn't a good movie, but I just wanna highlight all the plot holes that I had. Feel free to add your own.
When Daniel was at the farmhouse and the security was surrounding the house, he managed to run through a very clear fence, get to a car, and none of the security, not one, and it looked like there were close to 20–30 people, turned around to look for him?
He thought of all these things, like removing the names of the motels. So clearly he knew about the whole eye thing, but why didn't he think to cover Jane's eyes?
He gives Jane one of the most precious artifacts knowing that she can easily become possessed.
Of all the things they could have chosen to do, they made the aliens look exactly like the same aliens we've been seeing in every sci-fi movie since the '90s. They didn't think once to make them look a little different?broooooo
Why are these aliens coming to Earth? Like, why are they coming here all the time just to be harassed, killed and experimented on? If they are beings of higher intelligence, surely they'd have some sort of mayday signal, communication system, or even telepathy to tell the others, "Maybe don't keep coming to this awful planet where we getting abused!."
Are you seriously telling me that no one saw these sightings for so long? Where were they? Or did they conveniently only ever happen around naval bases where everything could be covered up?
The security company was so awful. Where was the military? If the military was involved in all of this, surely they could've done something to stop what was happening like maybe.. bombing the news centre ?
We know Hugo is somehow involved in all of this, but where is he getting all this money from to build this entire operation? What was his relationship with the aliens? There was just no context. I get they're probably setting up a second movie, but there was just no meat given. Maybe some billionaire in the backround?
Why couldn't Margaret use her empath abilities on that one villain ? She used them on literally everyone else, and at one point she didn't even make direct eye contact with some of the people she affected. But this one guy was suddenly immune?
When they attacked the motel, why didn't anyone think to surround the building before going in? If they had, they probably would've caught Jane.
If they always seemed to be ten steps ahead, why didn't they tap the nun's phone? They knew Jane had gone there, and they went to all the effort of tracking the location of the farm, but somehow nobody thought to monitor the nun's phone?
What else do those artifacts actually do? We only got tiny glimpses of what they were capable of and somehow they conveniently work EXACTLY the way you want them to.
They never explained who the "Experienced People" were or how they even came to be known by that term and are there other people around the world with these psychic abilities who can handle alien artifacts, or is it just this group? That whole concept was never explained.
The aliens had apparently been coming to Earth for around 70 years. What were they actually trying to achieve? They never explained their intentions again, I’m sure they were building for a second movie but cummon. I’m not watching number 2.
Hugo was clearly far more knowledgeable than Daniel. I get that he couldn't tell him everything, but he could've guided him a lot better. Daniel kept making terrible decisions, and Hugo just seemed to drip feed him information instead of actually helping.
And my favourite one... wheelchair alien finally comes out. this alien speaks so long to Daniel... and after all that buildup, all Margaret says is... "Listen." 😂 I genuinely burst out laughing.
Maybe there's a deeper meaning that I'm missing. Maybe the aliens knew humanity was broken and misguided, but still kept coming because they were actually trying to help us. If that's what they were going for, fair enough. But I just don't think the movie did a good job of communicating that.
For the first time ever, I actually replied to messages while sitting in the cinema because I kept checking the time wondering when the movie was finally going to get good.
