Disclosure Day Reviews: What Critics Are Saying About Spielberg’s New Sci-Fi Film
Steven Spielberg made an alien movie in 2026. John Williams scored it. Emily Blunt stars in it. It opens June 12.
The Disclosure Day reviews are already pouring in and they are, to put it diplomatically, a conversation.
What Is Disclosure Day About?
The film asks: if you found out we weren’t alone, if someone showed you, proved it to you; would that frighten you? It runs 145 minutes, is rated PG-13, and was produced by Amblin Entertainment with Universal distributing. The cast includes Emily Blunt, Josh O’Connor, Colin Firth, Eve Hewson, and Colman Domingo.
What Are Critics Saying?
The positive Disclosure Day reviews are genuinely glowing. SlashFilm gave it 9 out of 10, calling it “a whiz-bang chase movie” in the tradition of Spielberg’s great chase films like Minority Report and Catch Me If You Can.
One critic called Emily Blunt “utterly spectacular, guiding us through a wide display of emotions with a consistently surprising performance that ranks among her very best.” High on Films called it “aspirational” — a blockbuster with moral clarity that asks more of its audience than most summer films dare to.
The less enthusiastic Disclosure Day reviews focus on the script. RogerEbert.com noted that David Koepp’s screenplay “sometimes trips over itself trying to explain it all.”
Flickering Myth gave it three out of five, calling it “simultaneously spectacular, clunky, and syrupy.”
Should You See It?
If you love Spielberg at his most kinetic and you trust Emily Blunt to carry a film — and at this point you should — yes. The Disclosure Day reviews broadly agree the experience is thrilling even where the script wobbles. It opens in theatres June 12, 2026. John Williams scored it. That alone is worth the ticket.
