The last movie of Spielberg's I've seen more than once was Catch Me If You Can, as minor as it was, nearly a quarter century ago.

Since then he's had a wide variety of movies that didn't quite grab me, from big budget misfires (War of the Worlds, Ready Player One, Crystal Skull), likable enough trifles (The Terminal, Bridge of Spies, Tintin - I should really rewatch that), obvious Oscar-bait (Lincoln, The Post, Munich), and a pile of movies I haven't even gotten around to seeing (The Fabelmans).

To be fair, even Spielberg knows he's on his way out, and all(?) of his movies in the past decade were made because he wanted to make them (even Ready Player One and The BFG, which he made because of his sons). If he still has aliens and surveillance states on his brain, I'm not going to begrudge him one more movie on his way out the door.

War of the Worlds had some uneven parts, but it had some great scenes. The first Tripod attack and the US military going all out as they try to buy time for the civilians/the ferry boat scene were some great cinema.

Reading a couple different synopses and seeing that this has a 2.5 hour runtime this thing has to border on torture.

War of the Worlds had some uneven parts, but it had some great scenes. The first Tripod attack and the US military going all out as they try to buy time for the civilians/the ferry boat scene were some great cinema.

The good parts are really good. I'll never understand why we spend most of act three hanging out in a cabin with Tim Robbins.

And no, your son is not alive for the happy ending. He's dead. You can't have a scene where he abandons his family to claw his way up a hill to see a battle between humanity and the invaders to then pop back in right before the credits. He's super, super dead.

I don't know why, but after I saw the first teaser months ago I thought this was going to be more about what happens during/after the actual disclosure. This sounds really boring.

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.

I told my friend he was a faggot for tricking me. This shit ain’t good. Go see Obsession instead.

Even Oliver Harper says it's a stinker. One thing I didn't realize that he points out is the guy who wrote the script wrote a bunch of other crappy movies, like the dial of destiny and that Tom Cruise mummy bomb that killed that whole dark universe franchise before it even got off the ground.
