I don't know how those work, but if you read the actual audience reviews on RT it's getting torn to shreds. Then again, I feel like all that shit has been fake for a while now. IMDB for sure was astroturfed with fake reviews years ago, but since they locked their shit behind accounts I don't see them anymore.

Steven Spielberg Believes That Disclosure Day Will Greatly Shake The Faith Of Christians All Over The Globe

I mean if aliens did show up to Earth one day and had seemingly godlike abilities, you'd have

1) People who think they are gods/angels or demons literally and do what religious crazies do
2) People digging deep into millions of years of evolution that tells you to fear the unknown as a survival strategy, thinking the aliens are evil/going to destroy mankind and going full Warhammer 40k "xeno filth"
3) People excited humans aren't alone in the universe and excited for the future in space
4) "Monster fuckers" trying to figure out if reproduction is possible with the aliens

Good or not I can never forgive Spielberg for being so unable to keep his dick out of kids that his coffee girl accumulated enough dirt on him to destroy filmmaking

Is that what the movie is, God worship is the result of Aliens periodically involving themselves on Earth?

I haven't seen the film to see if that subtext exists, although I do know the aliens will disguise themselves as animals to observe people in it

You see stuff like that and the conspiritard in me says it's an awfully big coincidence that this movie lined up with the government release of UFO files, where they also convinced a bunch of people to repeat essentially that same line about how this would make people question God.

Almost like this is all a coordinated effort or something.

I guess sadly for them, the movie is apparently absolutely trash and no one cares about blurry FLIR videos of lights in the sky.

Read the synopsis its just a “the govt has been covering up the knowledge of aliens and some of their technology is responsible for the technology age” type of stuff, it sounds like. Literally nothing novel about it, no idea why there was a reference to people’s faith, just a marketing gimmick.

Just the Christian Faith? Why not the Jewish Faith? Oh, because that would be his religion and nothing can go wrong with their ideology. If it was truly disclosed that aliens actually did live amongst us, and possessed a kind of technology well beyond our own, it would shake the foundation of humanity. Every religion and otherwise would be affected.

I'm unconvinced alien technology would shake anyone - we're pretty good at incorporating new tech into our lives.

Case in point, less than a decade ago when I told my then preteen niece and nephew the internet basically didn't exist when I was their age, they literally did not believe me. The internet was so fundamental to how they lived they could not conceive of a world without it, even though it just existed as newsgroups and email (if that) when we were all born.

In reality, if wild alien tech showed up en masse, we'd spend the next 10 years rewriting our physics books and college research projects, the next 5 to 15 years monetizing the hell out of it, and the next 10 to 20 years awkwardly rewriting our legal codes to (badly) deal with the consequences. But in 25 years, kids could not even conceive of a world without it.

As to the religious aspects, Buddhism is still around despite Christianity, Islam, etc. arriving on the scene. Would some people adopt alien belief systems, if any, especially if said aliens had actual evidence for their validity? Sure. But all out existing religions would keep chugging along, albeit likely with less believers.

I’d think you’d primarily see schisms

Aliens unto themselves wouldn’t refute most religious dogma beyond the most extreme views. You’d probably only run into major issues if the aliens were like “lol it was us all along, we have proof!” or they had their own belief system that ran counter to established earth ones. And even then, you’d probably see most humans adapt and incorporate that new stuff into existing stuff

So Mormanism and Scientology and every other newer rebranded faith system... I find that plausible, actually.

The movie can't and shouldn't address every religion, it just is focused on that of the characters involved. It covers both of the crisis of faith it evokes as a common sense reaction as well as people of the same faith being accepting of the reveal.

To Phaz’s post, you can use history as a guide - the current major faiths haven’t existed forever, they supplanted other beliefs while simultaneously adapting some of those existing beliefs. If you dig deep enough, you can find some fossilized elements from far older belief systems buried in the whole judeochristian dogma

I do like when sci-fi explores this concept though. In the TV show Defiance, one interesting lore bit was one of the alien races, when they arrive on Earth, get really enamored with Buddhism because it had some parallels with their existing belief system and they merged both belief systems because in their eyes they saw it as validation of the overall belief system they held

Minbari soul thing in B5 also, although that obviously gets into time travel shenanigans
