Rating this high because it reminds me of Spielberg's miniseries "Taken" and how this movie feels like a continuation or a companion piece to that show; it wasn't difficult for me to understand and appreciate this movie because of it. Most viewers who probably never saw that miniseries may have some struggle understanding Spielberg's passion for making this movie and of course would left anyone clueless. As a viewer, Taken was a journey, a story that takes place between 1944 to 2002, detailing the story that started at the Roswell crash, the cover up, the intergenerational experience and trauma involving three families, and the extraterrestrials maneuvering to create a human-alien hybrid from the two families that manifests both analytical strength and empathy to further understand humanity. Disclosure Day have the same DNA but coming from a completely different multiverse (and some sparkle of that TV series, Fringe). If you're coming into this movie without an idea of those two series I mentioned then it would be really difficult to derive joy and appreciation, and would make you believe that this is the worst movie ever made. But I'm telling you, it isn't. The only problem here is Spielberg not realizing that it may isolate some of his audiences because they're just coming in with an empty plate (while Spielberg was probably assuming his viewers know them by heart before they saw this movie). So I would urge everyone to go out there and watch Taken (and Fringe as well, although it's not really by Spielberg) then go back to this movie—and I promise, you would like Disclosure Day the same way that I did.
