Some CGI in Disclosure Day still looks rough despite good overall effects — Opinion (50/100)

Personal taste call — finds Bigfoot more fun than Roswell 2.0.
Eve Houston and Colin Firth's characters have the most compelling arcs — Opinion (50/100)
Classic critic move — calling out the side characters as more interesting than the leads — but whether that's true depends on what you value in a story.
Emily Blunt and Coleman Domingo's scenes feel like lazy exposition — Opinion (50/100)

Disclosure Day offers no new ideas about aliens or first contact — Opinion (50/100)
He's comparing it directly to Nope and saying it doesn't recontextualize the alien concept the way that film did — a pretty high bar.
The third act gives too much away and falls flat — Opinion (50/100)
