Steven Spielberg’s Disclosure Day First Reactions Are Officially In

The reactions to the next Steven Spielberg movie have finally arrived.

The filmmaker’s Disclosure Day is less than a month away from opening in theaters, and members of the press are finally sharing their early reactions to his latest Hollywood entry. Check them out below:

Bill Bria stressed that the sci-fi installment “is the weirdest movie Spielberg’s ever made (complimentary). Breathtaking compositions, David Koepp’s X-FILES-meets-The Bible script is one big high-wire act, Emily Blunt’s most accomplished performance, John Williams’ best score in years. Riveting, moving stuff.” Bria also added how “it’s just so invigorating and refreshing in this day and age to walk into a sci-fi thriller and have some idea of its topics and themes but no clue where it’s going. I was hooked from minute one and it never let go.”

Germain Lussier loved the film, sharing how it is “a dense roller coaster ride blending chase film, love story, & mystery, all wrapped in sci-fi wonder. It’s Spielberg’s best film in 20 years, filled w/ all the magic that makes his films so special, plus an all-time character/performance by Emily Blunt.”

Steven Weintraub commented how “in a shock to absolutely no one, Steven Spielberg has delivered another towering home run with #DisclosureDay.” Weintraub added how “I could go on and on about what I loved, but I was lucky enough to see the movie knowing almost nothing, and I strongly recommend you do the same. Stop watching the trailers. The one thing I will say: Emily Blunt is incredible. I know big summer movies aren’t usually the kinds of performances that get awards-season attention, but once people see what she does in this…”

Drew Taylor stressed how “I can’t remember the last time I loved a Spielberg movie as much as #DisclosureDay — thrilling, funny, deeply emotional and impeccably acted (Emily Blunt, in particular, is astounding). Full of mystery and wonder, it proves that nobody does it quite like Spielberg. Just great.👽”

Jim Hemphill called the 2026 film “top tier Spielberg, as exhilarating as RAIDERS but with the emotional texture & increased ambition of his post-9/11 work. Right from the opening Spielberg lays down the gauntlet and reminds you that he does this stuff better than anybody in the history of film.”

The sci-fi drama, which is currently one of the most highly anticipated 2026 movies, stars Emily Blunt as Margaret Fairchild, Josh O’Connor as Daniel Kellner, Eve Hewson as Jane Blankenship, Colman Domingo as Hugo Wakefield, and Colin Firth as Noah Scanlon. The Disclosure Day Cast will also feature Wyatt Russell, Elizabeth Marvel, and Elliot Villar.

Disclosure Day marks one of the big projects for Blunt, as the British star reprised her role as Emily Charlton in The Devil Wears Prada 2, which has already become a box office hit. The UFO-centric film was penned by David Koepp, based on a story from Spielberg, and was shot back in 2025.

With the early reactions already being very positive, it remains to be seen if Disclosure Day will become one of Spielberg’s best sci-fi movies of all time. Hopefully, audience members will also respond just as well to his latest Hollywood entry.

Disclosure Day opens in theaters on June 12.
