"This 79-year terror campaign of lies has to end." - Hugo Wakefield

Why watch this? It's a serviceable sci-fi entry about possible extraterrestrials.

Plot Summary: A cyber-security expert becomes a high-profile whistleblower after uncovering heavily classified data that details a multi-decade government cover-up of extraterrestrial life. While on the run from a powerful, relentless corporate entity determined to suppress the truth, he aligns with a network of fellow defectors. Their mission converges with a television meteorologist who has begun experiencing unexplainable phenomena and manifesting extraordinary cognitive abilities.

  Dad's Preview: Mr. Spielberg loves making films about the awe associated with aliens: Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977), War of the Worlds (2005), and the beloved, E. T. (1982). Here, he adds another entry, but in 2026, the plot feels very been-there-done-that. This is disappointing for me, an avid fan of the director. The film is a gallant effort, and you will be hard-pressed to walk away without anything to contemplate. The special effects are stellar, the acting is very good. It covers a ton of conspiracy theories. However, it ran too long, and I just didn't feel the magic I expected. It's very much like peeking behind the curtain, and realizing that the wizard is just some guy from Iowa. I need some mystery to remain in my life. That makes things much more interesting.
