The Stupid Dislosure Day Plot

Another blockbuster movie I will skip is Disclosure Day.

I do not expect space alien movies to be realistic, but this is too silly. The whole movie is about how space aliens secretly invade Earth, subjugate some humans, and announce there presence by having a couple carry out a plot to show some video clips on a tv weather broadcast.

None of it makes any sense. The aliens could just show themselves, or some of their advanced technology. No one watches tv, and no one would believe some pirated video clips.

That's it. The 145 minutes ends with the disclosure, and a suggestion that the aliens might have a message for us. I guess the message itself was saved for a sequel, as it is not disclosed.

This is not really a spoiler, as it is all revealed in the trailer, which goes further and has Director Steven Spielberg saying:

How will disclosure change us? I believe for the better. It will remind us of our capacity for empathy.

And that there is something bigger out there. Than just ourselves.

But the movie ends with the disclosure of the space aliens, so we do not find out how the disclosure changes humans.

Spielberg is promoting this movie as if there really is a space alien coverup. He says:

The witnesses have been coming forward ever since Roswell.

He also acts as if it is a good thing to have human puppets who are mind-controlled by space aliens.

He said one of his favorite movies was The Day the Earth Stood Still, a 1951 movie where a space alien flying saucer makes a dramatic and forceful appearance, and enslaves humans to be under robot domination, so that we will live in peace. Spielberg obviously thinks that would be a good outcome.

I realize that this Spielberg movie is just entertainment, but it is being sold as a documentary, and as subjugation by aliens being a good thing.

I question the sanity of people who believe this stuff. Based on what science we know, I think that other-world intelligent life in our galaxy is unlikely. If there is such life, the idea that they have been secretly visiting us in a few places like Roswell is absurd. And the abduction stories are absurd.

And of course the idea that space aliens will use telepathy to teach humans to have more empathy is crazy absurd.
