    hard for me to do rankings since he got wayyy too many bangers (and i don't really believe in ranking art) but AI would be in top 10 if i were to make one

    I’d put war of the worlds and Munich in my top 10 Highkey. Fabelmans prob gets in at 10 for me too

    I also genuinely disagree with this being all action chase set pieces. There’s only 2 chases and most of the movie is conversations. If anything there’s more chases in OBAA

    Also I hate the notion that because a movie is trying to be fun, it can’t be criticized as hard as a movie trying to be serious and humanist. Between the two movies, disclosure day is taking far bigger risks and delivers far less exposition but yall gonna d***ride Obsession because it’s “fun”? FOH

    Definitely more than 2 chases. at the match, the farm, the motel, the train, the warehouse and that made up majority of the runtime for the film.

    There's nothing inherently wrong with a chase, but the chases in this movie werent all that interesting until maybe the warehouse

    As for the fun movie part. Fun movies can be criticized and they are often. While a movie that sets out to take more risk should be applauded if it doesnt stick the landing it dont mean that much

    Outside of the farm and train these aren’t really sequences. And the things happening in those scenes are more about the plot or something else beyond a chase. That’s why I say there’s only truly 2 chase scenes which are actually about the spectacle of the chase (and both are exceptionally well done)

    watched Munich for the first time as a part of a series i was doing where i was catching up with all the theatrically released spielberg films that i hadn't seen yet before watching Disclosure Day and that might have been the best one that i saw. probably the most morally complex of his films

    I mean I get what you mean, they're not really action set piece style of chase but narratively they're chases and I think thats what he meant

    Comparing to OBAA, the chases in that movie were compelling on a technical and character development level. I really dont think we get much of that in this movie besides train & warehouse

    I mean by that logic, the whole movie is a chase. But like the warehouse || scene for example is so completely different to the other chase scenes and it ends up being more fun compared to the tense chase with the || farm || scene. The || motel || chase isn’t even really a chase because ultimately it’s mostly there for plot progression and || splitting the two characters up

    Idk I can’t say this movie is just all chase scenes when much of it is ultimately a mystery and thematic conversations

    The only character who actually gets character development in the chases is the daughter tbh. Everyone else is very much a static character besides Teyanas character but she doesn’t develop in the chases tbh

    And Chases development requires you to believe that a 16 yo girl is out smarting a trained hit man which is a gigantic plot leap and far more egregious than anything going on in Disclosure Day

    Movie really felt like get away from bad guys, rinse and repeat, but at least it was interesting to say the least

    I feel like the train scene could have had a longer dialogue scene between Blunt and O’Connor cause they don’t really get to bond outside of the alien stuff. There’s the car convo before but I think it needed more to lead up to the house scene to make their shared trauma about some ominous thing feel more worth it

    I mean yea lol. Its one thing for them to just be on the run narratively but the antagonists catches up to the protagonists multiple times and the protagonists has to find a way to get away. This happens several times

    And only time they really standout on a plot driven level is the warehouse || and on a technical level || the train

    Ehh I would argue chase, leo and Teyana characters all get development thru their chases to varying degrees.

    i dont think chase getting the best of tim is all that far fetched in the context it was presented as. She was trained by revolutionaries to a degree since adolescent

    Ya that’s the only thing I didn’t like about it, the generic being chased by bad guys thing but I found the rest very original

    I wish the chase parts were cut in half . Because every time the villain caught up to them and they got away again I wasn’t thrilled I was eye rolling thinking it’s wasting time with it’s premise

    Also it feels very unclear what the aliens did to the kids. O’Connor’s reaction “NO THEYRE NOT ANIMALS” felt like some dark twist would give the story a bit more juice
