It's a "really terrific story" few people want to see because of sports and weather.

Spielberg’s comments about Christians forsaking their religion probably didn’t help either. I love SciFi of all kinds, but since those remarks, I am absolutely not going to see this one.

The trailer did not draw me in.

He should have stuck with vacationing with the likes of Tom Hanks and Moochie Obama.

Hollywood need to learn how to make 90 minute movies again (and not spend 100 million for film thats mostly talking heads)

Go see Masters of the Universe instead. An entertaining summer popcorn movie that’s a lot of dumb fun, plus a great message (about men stepping up to fight for their families).

Lots of obvious truths never get said in this society.

One is that most directors lose their touch as they get older.

For one thing their “art” starts to take over from compelling characters and stories.

Spielberg characters were always rather cold. That got a lot worse.

This has even happened to Kubrick,Scorcese. Clint Eastwood stayed pretty loose late into life.

That movie that was so hyped, but turned out to be a complete dud, and I think most everyone knew it.

Maybe his desire to poop on Christianity got in the way of his ability to make a good film.

I might have paid for a ticket but after hearing he wanted to shake my faith, no thank you.

It probably would’ve gotten better attendance if it was a film about real estate transactions.

I saw it last night.

My wife’s review: “It was the worst movie I’ve ever seen in my life.”

Mine was not as harsh. But it was a solid 6 of 10. Surely a Netflix movie for a Saturday night.

Imho, Spielberg, who is 80, is no longer the director he once was.

The entire “this movie will shock Christians” was to get some buzz for a movie that is a dud.

But no amount of shock can cover up a bad story and a bad movie.

Steven ought to retire

Timing is everything in the movie release world, and this is not a great weekend for a hit. The weather is stormy. (An ironic problem since Emily Blunt plays a metereologist.) The World Cup has begun in soccer. And tomorrow night, the NBA finals with the Knicks and Spurs will draw maybe 25 million viewers.

Or… maybe it just sucks.

The really terrific story of UFO info finally being divulged to the world went over as a dud last night at the box office...

Kind of like the actual 'disclosure'.. Which went over as a dud.

There are no aliens folks... Get over it!
