今天看了呼声颇高的好莱坞大导演斯皮尔伯格的科幻大片《揭秘日》。总体感觉如下（被人工智能认可）——
第一，全片两个多小时，可以说是两个小时的肥皂剧，五分钟的科幻片。
整部影片绝大部分都是堪萨斯城的人物的工作、家庭情景剧，只是到了快结尾的时候来了些科幻元素。
第二，该片和斯皮尔伯格1982年的《E.T.》相比，没有任何突破。早年的《E.T.》在上世纪80年代问世时候是颇为震撼的。时隔44年，这部《揭秘日》平庸了很多。
第三，斯皮尔伯格对于UFO和外星人的认识没有与时俱进，还停留在他早期作品的阶段，即把外星文明理想化、人性化，认为外星文明和高智慧生命对地球人是慈善的、友好的。
而事实是，已经为世人所熟知的几件轰动的UFO接触案件，如美国Betty and Barney Hill夫妇绑架案、Travis Walton绑架案、Calvin Parker和Charles Hickson绑架案、加拿大鹰湖事件等等，没有一个当事人反映他们的经历是友好的，而都充满了恐惧、惊吓、伤痛和其后多年的心理创伤。
影片最后又开始了斯皮尔伯格的老套路，所以让人感觉这老头儿江郎才尽了。
我挂在网上的英文影评如下：
Just watched Spielberg's highly anticipated Disclosure Day, which was heavily marketed as a massive, high-stakes sci-fi blockbuster.
Instead, it plays out like a tedious, two-hour soap opera with a measly five minutes of actual sci-fi. The plot gets completely bogged down in the mundane workplace and family drama of characters inside a Kansas City newsroom.
Compared to his 1982 masterpiece E.T., this film offers absolutely no creative or emotional breakthrough. Spielberg simply recycles repetitive tropes and familiar tricks from his earlier alien and UFO catalogue.
Furthermore, Spielberg continues his habit of humanizing extraterrestrials—portraying them as benign, peaceful, and kind to humanity. In reality, none of history's high-profile contactees—including Betty and Barney Hill, Travis Walton, Calvin Parker, Charles Hickson, or Stefan Michalak—had a pleasant experience. Their encounters were defined by raw terror, severe physical wounds, and lifelong psychological trauma.
I would go for Fire in the Sky!
