Disclosure Day presenta a un Spielberg que sigue siendo Spielberg y a la vez está de vuelta de Spielberg.

Es mi resumen.

Y es que El día de la revelación sabe a un resumen de una de las líneas creativas principales del mítico director: su ciencia ficción alienígena.

Este filme es eso, una línea, la desnudez de lo hizo o aquello que hacía en su chasis, la mínima expresión de su cine, y sin mimos. Una línea no en el guion, que se extiende demasiado para contar lo que cuenta (sabía que habría un buen presupuesto). Una línea quizá consecuencia de cierta desgana para vestir la película e incidir en los points que plantea. Parece -por el sucinto desarrollo, no por el generoso montaje-, que grabó el esquema o la sinopsis antes que el guion mismo, y que luego montó extras.

Esta película es un sustancioso paseo por el marco y un esprint por el dibujo.

Hay planos muy bonitos, muy spielbergianos, dos protas solventes que hacen lo que pueden con lo que tienen; y una decisión plausible consistente en dejar para el final la revelación y la aparición (a destacar la bonita aportación de las imágenes de archivo retro ficcionadas o la introducción de esa presentadora de informativo emocionada y shockeada), así como no esquivar asuntos morales y -no o- espirituales. Todo está y aporta, pero se queda aferrado con chinchetas... Como los puntos a tocar de un escritor de mapa o como un escritor de brújula demasiado confiado.

Spielberg parece reconocer que esto fue un capricho porque ama rodar (y se lo puede permitir). Hacer lo que se quiere sin tener que pensar en la espada de Damocles de la taquilla es un lujo reservado a pocas personas, a indies y a gente que tiene el aval de una obra detrás y/o es una marca.

Esto lo vimos antes y mejor, a él entre otros.

This is AWESOME!

While not that much more is said here by EPs Devlin and Glassner, the strong implication is that they’re expecting S3 to be greenlit, but also that they already have mapped much of it out…

“ Dean Devlin: To a very real degree, all of season 1 and all of season 2 is the pilot episode. That the actual series begins at the beginning of season 3, because the Arc is not just a lifeboat, it is a search and rescue vehicle, and now there's a new home to bring them to. But is the home everything they hope it is? Are there problems on this home that they don't know about?

And where are they going, and where are they finding people, and are they finding who they're supposed to find? Or are they having other kinds of adventures? Who are they bringing back to the planet? So now we have a show where it's going to be a lot less predictable than what we've done before. It can't be "disaster of the week," and we don't want it to be. It's really going to be a show where any kind of science fiction concept that we want to explore, we'll have a way to do it.”

Still working on setting up the chat group by the way. Will keep you posted but there should be news very soon I hope!

For all of you Star Trek, Stargate and classic Sci-fi TV fans who haven’t yet given The Ark a try, watch parties will be coming once the chat bot is working.

That’s a lot of Trek! I have watched it all as it came out with the exception of a few episodes in 1966 before the neighbour kid pushed me to try it in TOS season one. So, I am always impressed by younger newcomers who systematically binge to catch up.

Understand your love of ‘The Magicians’. :packetcat_smile:

I’d like to recommend however that you give ‘The Ark’ a try if you haven’t been already. Its second season finale just ran on Syfy US last week, and will be on Peacock as of this week. ‘The Ark’ is a Dean Devlin creation that appeals to a lot of Star Trek, Stargate and classic sci-fi television fans. Like 90s Star Trek, it’s getting better as it goes on. Hopefully, it will be renewed for more seasons.

Outside the US, it’s available in many countries but across a diversity of services. Check out the hashtags below to see if you might have it.

I am in the process of setting up a new group chat bot account for ‘The Ark’ that interested people in the fediverse will be able to follow.


There’s also interest in a group rewatch/watch and discussion here. I’ll be setting up a schedule in a few weeks. Input will be welcome!

Dean Devlin’s 20th century sci-fi television homage ‘The Ark’ is bringing us its S2 finale ‘Fortunate’ tonight!

Would love to be running watch parties for this show if there were more than a handful of us here who were regular viewers. Perhaps we can get something going for a rewatch cycle?

After seeing The Ark’s season 2 penultimate episode* this week, I’m hoping that NBCUniversal greenlights a third season.

It’s a rare low budget Syfy Original that has a second season better than its first.

I’ve already posed the question ‘Why aren’t you watching this?!!’ to Star Trek and Stargate fans who keep saying they’re hankering for an aspirational, upbeat classic sci-fi show and are less concerned with expensive production values or perfect scientific explanations.

If you like Dean Devlin products like Stargate, Godzilla (1998), Independence Day, or listen to ‘The Inglorious Treksperts, I’d be very surprised if this isn’t your thing.

I’d argue that if you liked 60s and 70s sci-fi shows such as Space 1999, The Starlost, Ark II, and the original Battlestar Galactica, you’ll find much to enjoy with this one.

With a bit of digging, I was able to find that it has a broader international distribution than many realize, it’s worth tracking down in your market!

And if you happen to have checked out The Ark since I last posted, I’d love to hear what you think.

*Edited: I keep thinking the season is done as I’m just not thinking of 12 episode seasons anymore.

Thanks for amplifying! This Polygon piece on ‘The Ark’ is hitting all the right notes.

The only question is why aren’t even more Star Trek and Stargate fans watching and talking about about The Ark. The show has both of those in its DNA.

Tonight’s episode 2 x 10 does feel very much like something from peak TNG or Voyager seasons. And there were even moments when I felt it could have fit in the first season of Space 1999.

But, like SNW which is even less serialized, The Ark keeps steadily advancing character development regardless of whatever weird scifi thing is going on.

Best of all, I realized when I tuned in tonight that it wasn’t the season finale - The Ark bucks currently trends with 12 episode seasons that allow time and story space for the ensemble to each have the focus.

My wife is a big fan of Stargate. I already knew that I'm not allowed to call out MacGyver.

TIL that saying "Oh, look there's Q! And Parker Lewis! And the lawyer from Devil's Advocate!" is also inappropriate while she's watching.

This image is based on one of the most iconic scene of the movie.

“To infinity, and beyond !” No, today’s theme is not about Buzz Lightyear but about 2001, a Space Odyssey! There’s a lot of cool pictures and characters such as the Monolith, the Discovery spaceship, HAL 9000 and his eye or the Star child

Have fun !
