It’s officially Disclosure Day. The legendary Steven Spielberg‘s return to sci-fi has felt a long time coming, and the wait, it seems, has been worth it. “As a Spielberg devotee, Disclosure Day gave me exactly what I wanted from his return to the alien movie,” wrote Collider’s Nate Richard in his review of the movie, with this one of many glowing critical responses. On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film boasts an 84% approval rating, with most gushing over an Oscar nomination-worthy performance from Emily Blunt(The Devil Wears Prada).
But Blunt is far from the only performance receiving praise in Disclosure Day, with other Hollywood favorites gracing the sci-fi spectacle, including Josh O’Connor (Challengers), Colin Firth (The King’s Speech), Eve Hewson (Bad Sisters), Colman Domingo (Rustin), and Wyatt Russell(Monarch: Legacy of Monsters). Truthfully, simply having a Spielberg sci-fi back on the big screen would be enough for most, without it being one of his best movies in recent memory. In fact, so excited are fans for the icon’s return that his last sci-fi effort has returned to the streaming charts.
After joining HBO Max earlier this month, Ready Player Onehas officially placed as one of the ten most-streamed movies in the U.S. Based on the Ernest Cline novel of the same name, this Academy Award nominee for Best Visual Effects boasted an astutely assembled cast and some typical Spielberg magic, helping it achieve both critical and commercial acclaim. Against a $150 million production budget, the movie returned just shy of $600 million worldwide and was one of the highest-grossing projects of 2018.
Collider Exclusive · Sci-Fi Survival Quiz Which Sci-Fi World Would You Survive? The Matrix · Mad Max · Blade Runner · Dune · Star Wars
Five universes. Five completely different ways the future went wrong — or sideways, or up in flames. Only one of them is the world your instincts were built for. Eight questions will figure out which dystopia, galaxy, or desert wasteland you’d actually make it out of alive.
💊The Matrix
🔥Mad Max
🌧️Blade Runner
🏜️Dune
🚀Star Wars
01
You sense something is deeply wrong with the world around you. What do you do? The first instinct is often the truest one.
02
In a world of scarcity, what resource do you guard most fiercely? What we protect reveals what we believe survival actually requires.
03
What kind of threat keeps you up at night? Fear is useful data — if you’re honest about what you’re actually afraid of.
04
How do you deal with authority you don’t trust? Every dystopia has a power structure. Your approach to it determines everything.
05
Which environment could you actually endure long-term? Survival isn’t just tactical — it’s physical, psychological, and very much about where you are.
06
Who do you want in your corner when things fall apart? The company you keep is the clearest signal of who you actually are.
07
Where do you draw the line — if you draw one at all? Every survivor eventually faces a moment that tests what they’re actually made of.
08
What would actually make survival worth it? Staying alive is one thing. Having a reason to is another.
Your Fate Has Been Calculated You’d Survive In…
Your answers point to the world your instincts were built for. This is the universe your temperament, your survival instincts, and your particular brand of stubbornness were made for.
The Resistance, Zion
The Matrix
You took the red pill a long time ago — probably before anyone offered it to you. You’re a systems thinker who can’t help but notice the seams in things.
You’re drawn to understanding how the system works before figuring out how to break it.
You’d find the Resistance, or it would find you — your instinct for spotting constructed realities is the machines’ worst nightmare.
You function best when you have access to information and the freedom to act on it.
The Matrix built an airtight prison. You’d be the one probing the walls for the door.
The Wasteland
Mad Max
The wasteland doesn’t reward the clever or the well-connected — it rewards those who are hard to kill and harder to break. That’s you.
You don’t need comfort, community, or a cause larger than the next horizon.
You need a vehicle, a clear threat, and enough fuel to outrun it — and you’re good at all three.
You are unsentimental enough to survive that world, and decent enough — just barely — to be something more than another raider.
In the wasteland, that distinction is everything.
Los Angeles, 2049
Blade Runner
You’d survive here because you know how to exist in moral grey areas without losing yourself completely.
You read people accurately, keep your circle small, and ask the questions others prefer not to answer.
In a city where humanity is a legal designation rather than a feeling, you hold onto something that keeps you functional.
You’re not a hero. But you’re not lost, either.
In Blade Runner’s world, that distinction is everything.
Arrakis
Dune
Arrakis is the most hostile environment in the known universe — and you are precisely the kind of person it rewards.
Patience, discipline, and political awareness are your core strengths — and on Arrakis, they’re survival tools.
You understand that the long game matters more than any single victory.
Others come to Dune and are consumed by it. You’d learn its logic and earn its respect.
In time, you wouldn’t just survive Arrakis — you’d begin to reshape it.
A Galaxy Far, Far Away
Star Wars
The galaxy far, far away is vast, loud, and in a constant state of violent political upheaval — and you wouldn’t have it any other way.
You find meaning in being part of something larger than yourself — a cause, a crew, a rebellion.
You’d gravitate toward the Rebellion, or the fringes, or whatever pocket of the galaxy still believes the Empire’s grip can be broken.
You fight — not because you have to, but because standing aside isn’t something you’re capable of.
In Star Wars, that willingness is what makes all the difference.
‘Disclosure Day’ Will Battle Two Viral Horror Favorites at the Box Office
Ahead of this weekend, Disclosure Day is projected to open to $35 million, which is considerably short of what many pundits expected. Given the film’s hefty $115 million budget, this gives cause for concern for those behind the project. This projected underperformance is perhaps in part due to the huge success of both Curry Barker‘s Obsession and A24’s Backrooms, a pair of horror movies that boast the visions of young, ambitious directors. Disclosure Day is sure to outperform the pair, but there’s no doubt that Obsession and Backrooms will take a noticeable bite out of the sci-fi movie’s opening weekend haul.
Ready Player One is available to stream on HBO Max. Stay tuned to Collider for more stories.
