The Earth is at risk of starting WWIII. A few professionals discover extraterrestrial information. One of them, Dr. Daniel Kellner, is at greater risk, and must go into hiding.

Meanwhile, a woman named Margaret Fairchild is talking to a nun and reflecting on her faith. She also has a boyfriend called Jackson.

The next day, while Margaret is on her way to work, she is pulled over by a cop. But she successfully convinces him not to penalize her.

However, while on the weather channel, Margaret blanks out. Then, all of a sudden, she starts speaking a strange language.

It turns out to be an extraterrestrial language. Even worse, Margaret gets hurt and has to go to the hospital. Yet she gets Jackson to help her sneak out and hide.

Simultaneously, Daniel reveals certain files to this lady, Jane, He also adds that the company, Wardex, is experimenting on alien captives.

But the biggest surprise is that Daniel is the only person who can understand Margaret’s bizarre language. However, Wardex CEO Noah Scanlon makes Jane go insane and try to kill Daniel. This leads to chaos.

Margaret’s peculiar skills are also developing. That includes “seeing” Daniel – which leads both Jackson and her into danger, including trying to avoid getting run over by a train.

Later, the two are rescued by some Wardex employees, along with their leader, Hugo Wakefield. Despite how he seemed before, Hugo turns out to be a good guy. He actually shows Margaret a reconstruction of her childhood home and encourages her to bring back suppressed memories from her youth.

What will that lead to for her as well as everyone else?

The beginning felt promising with its occasional humor, worldbuilding and character development. All the characters were believable. A memorable example is when the police pulled Margaret over and asked for her license and registration. Yes, it’s minor, but I can relate to it as can anyone who drives.

The nun side plot was also interesting, even though it was small. But it did make Margaret likable and flawed.

Margaret’s strange language added tension and suspense. In addition, we do see aliens. Although their appearances are stereotypical, there are unique features added to them. For instance, they tower over humans.

Despite the strengths, though, I will admit that there were also an even number of weaknesses. The pacing seemed faster, although less time would pass. The movie is almost two and a half hours long, and I understand that’s necessary.

But a major pitfall is how confusing the plot was. I even referred to Wikipedia to help me write this review. Of course, all words are my own.

I understand that switching POVs in film is important. Yet I felt like half the perspectives were from Margaret and the other half came from Jane. I will also add that Jane and Margaret looked kind of similar. I even thought Jane was Margaret, but using a different name.

When it comes to casting, unless it’s important for characters to look alike or similar, I think each actor should look noticeably different. That can prevent confusing the viewer.

Overall, I thought Disclosure Day was just okay. There are still some exciting twists and turns, though.

Anyway, I give this film 3 out of 5 stars.
