Disclosure Day is the worst movie I’ve ever seen.
If this movie was the only evidence of human existence, aliens would immediately cease all studying of human life out of a sobering mix of boredom, pity, and disappointment.
I literally left the theater thinking it was the worst movie I’d ever seen. I’ve seen this sentiment expressed elsewhere and to call it an exaggeration is truly disingenuous. My expectations were already low, but it really was that bad.
I had seen Obsession and Backrooms already, both of which were amazing and good, respectively. But this, this was truly agonizing. I’ve never seen multiple sets of people leave a movie and virtually the whole rest of an audience go on their phones.
Seriously. I had read all of the reviews and still did not think Disclosure Day could be AS BAD as everyone said. It was every bit as bad and then worse. It felt like 3 bad 90s movies with unrelated plots mashed together into a 2 and-a-half hour lifeless and uninspired disaster. The trailer is literally the whole movie.
Do anything else with your 2.5 hours—Scrabble, watch paint dry, go to the DMV—but please, I beg you, do not see this. If I can spare one person from watching this movie perhaps my (and my family’s) sacrifice was not in vain.
Lastly, there will of course be someone to downplay how bad this movie is. After all, that’s why I saw it. But please—have some empathy for others and do not be the reason someone has to sit through this.
You’ve been warned.
EDIT: For the Spielberg burners who say I must not have seen many movies—I’ve seen Cats, the Monkey, and Terrifier 3. Those were all better than this.
