Not long ago, a new movie by Steven Spielberg was cause for celebration. But to the extent that the film world was talking about nothing else. Sadly, after the unjust failures of The Fabelmans and West Side Story, it cannot be said that expectations for The Day of Revelation are very high, but they should be because, honestly, it looks like it’s going to be the blockbuster we all needed to see.
The day has arrived!
Although, in general, we should trust very little in the first reactions (after all, these are people who have attended an exclusive event, and the feeling of exclusivity always adds extra points), even taking this into account, the reactions to The Day of Revelation are being excellent. Germain Lussier from Gizmodo considers it to be “a dense roller coaster ride turned into a chase movie, love story, and mystery, all wrapped in wonder and science fiction. It is Spielberg’s best film in 20 years“. Quite something.
Steven Weintraub from Collider is on the same page: “In a shock to absolutely no one, Steven Spielberg has hit another incredible home run. I could go on and on about what I’ve loved, but I was lucky enough to see the movie knowing almost nothing, and I strongly recommend you do the same. Stop watching the trailers. The only thing I’ll say: Emily Blunt is incredible“. Among people comparing it to a cross between The X-Files and the Bible, and those who think it has more of The Twilight Zone or something completely new, it’s rare to find dissenting opinions.
There are those who believe, in fact, that it is “one of Spielberg’s best, as exciting as Raiders of the Lost Ark but with the emotional texture and increased ambition of his post-9/11 work. From the very beginning Spielberg reminds you that he does these things better than anyone in the history of cinema“. It’s impossible not to be eager for June 12 to arrive.
