I went and looked because I was like, man Spielberg makes good movies, right??
Last one I've even seen was Catch Me If You Can and that was 24 (!!) years ago.
I'm a sucker for UFO movies so I'll probably see this but it looks weird and I'll probably regret it.

My guess on plot: Aliens revealed themselves in the past but the governments sabotaged / hid this from the planet because it would have resulted in a loss of power or control. Or maybe the aliens realized humans weren’t ready and peaced out for a bit. So aliens are patient and decide to do some long game thing that will reveal them when humans are more receptive
It’s definitely going to be framed as a human greed or lust for power holding civilization back sort of thing

Trailers for this were horrendous, but my buddy saw this at a critic screening. He LOVED it. I guess Spielberg + Aliens = always entertaining. Im goin this weekend. Probably avoid professional reviews, the third act was completely hidden on purpose in marketing and I guess this isnt a movie you want spoiled.

Most of the reviews I've seen are as expected - it's Bridge of Spies-era Spielberg combining Close Encounters with Minority Report.
Which is definitely better than another Ready Player One or Crystal Skull, but that's not necessarily causing me to race to the theater.

I feel like a chance was missed here.
So,
Surely the idea of Close Encounters of the 4th kind could have had merit.
So,
- 1st Kind: Simply sighting a UFO.
- 2nd Kind: Observing a UFO that leaves physical evidence (e.g., burned ground or broken branches).
- 3rd Kind: Observing "animate beings" (aliens) piloting or associated with the craft.

Dunno man, Spielberg seems like one of those (all of them?) who people assume makes good movies, but then you realize no, he was a product of a time period and after that time period he either got in his own head, or it just didn't work anymore. Has he made a truly great movie in the last two decades?
Yeah, there have been movies that are enjoyable or watchable, but he really fell off after the 90's. I'm not saying he's a shit director, as he made some of the most memorable movies of our youth. But he's not the same guy who gave us the classics.

Kind of weird that this comes out the same year that we have all this UFO stuff being declassified. One of those things that makes me think that everything is just a big farce and string-pullers are laughing at us.
Wasn't: Spielberg supposed to be outed as some sort of Weinsteinesque super creep?

I don't necessarily know if he was hit with some sort of Epstein allegation type stuff, but who nose regarding the alien hullabaloo as a good distraction whether it be from the government or Hollywood.
I mean he was married and banging Kathleen Kennedy after Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, so I'm sure he's a controlled media apparatus as much as Disney is by those creative and industrious Kabal of filmmakers and artists. I mean Schindler's list won best picture, as did The Pianist, but that was filmed by the pedophile being fled the country and is still celebrated by Hollywood. But Holocaust movies will always Bank that Oscar gold...
