Disclosure Day Was a Hit with Critics
Steven Spielberg's latest sci-fi thriller was a hit with critics. On Rotten Tomatoes, Disclosure Day received mostly positive reviews, holding a Certified Fresh 80% Tomatometer score based on critics' reviews. Similarly, the film holds a 70% Popcornmeter score based on audience reviews. On IMDb, Disclosure Day has a 6.6 rating with over 80,000 mixed-to-positive reviews.
Richard Brody from The New Yorker wrote, "Spielberg’s vision in Disclosure Day suggests audacity, even recklessness, two qualities that have often been wanting in his movies. There’s a sense of freedom, of a work pulled from deep within." Meanwhile, Brian Tallerico at RogerEbert.com said that blockbusters like Disclosure Day "can be morally and thematically complex while they’re entertaining the hell out of you."
But not all reviews were positive. In a more negative review, Nicholas Barber at BBC.com gave the sci-fi thriller a 2 out of 5, saying, "A flimsy, outdated car-chase thriller with no ideas about aliens that we haven't heard before." Justin Chang from The New Yorker said that "Spielberg struggles to split the difference between paranoid-thriller cynicism and his usual mode of emotional uplift."
Disclosure Day was still a hit in theaters. This was the highest-opening for a Spielberg and Amblin Entertainment original title not based on any previous IP, and Spielberg's highest-grossing film since 2018's Ready Player One. Emily Blunt received particular praise for her performance and was nominated for a Critics' Choice Super Award for Best Actress in a Science Fiction/Fantasy Movie.

The film is now a hit on PVOD, and it might even become a bigger success on streaming, winning over audiences. For now, fans can watch Steven Spielberg's latest project on the Apple TV Store in selected countries.
