Disclosure Day on the film's premiere's day.
What can I say? I expected more. But it's ok. Just that it's old news, the disclosure has been made my Spielberg in 1977 and in 1982 (E.T. phoning home ;).
This is really a Close Encounters of the Third Kind 'cos it's beeen done now the third time.
I woun't count the War of the Worlds which I hateted masivelly when it came out, called it War of the Tripods.
My most peoblematic aspect is the casting. Absolute no charisma between the leads, boyfriend-girlfriend, could be way better with another actors, Josh O'Connor and Emily Blunt didn't convince me one bit. What about the old Richard Dryfuss type, even the claasical Tom Hanks Spielbergian James Stewart type? The supporting bit was clockwork, Colin Firth and Colman Domingo all serious handeling.
Then, the duration. 2h25 could've been way shorter. Scenes repeat, chases repaeat, peril repeat, mind scanning repaet, like it's a TV series.
Also the deja-vu from the telekinesis/paranormal age of late 70's, 80's, from Fury, to Scanners, via Firestarter. Just add aliens, but it's the same chase, same plot gimmicks.
John Williams did a serios job scoring it, coming out of retirement again for his buddy Spielberg, At 94 he still rocks !!!
The camera work, I have a problem with the design, moving in every shot, some cool tracking shots, 180 degrees to 360. Colors too.
3 out of 5, 6 out 10 !!!
