I'm having mixed feelings about this so far. I was excited when it was announced but given how Spielberg let me down with his War of the Worlds remake (2005) and the trailers (so far). I'm on the fence.

I know this is an important subject for you. But i am not expecting much from this movie.

I wanted to understand Ukrainian law better.
I came across this site during my search. https://gram-news.com.ua
It was hard to find practical info. Most sources were unclear.
Very useful explanation of Article 268.
On this site I found simple guides.
Good resource if you need info on Ukrainian law.

Stop posting this shit here!

Anybody see this one yet? I love Spielberg, but every trailer looked lackluster. I respect that he deliberately kept things from the final act in the trailers, but was there nothing of interest in the previous acts?

Plus the CG animals looked dreadful, a common trend today instead of hiring animal handlers.

The movie is fantastic and a harbinger in a way of what is about to happen in real life. This was his best film on the subject of extraterrestrials since Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

The movie is a slow burn at first but once it gets going, it gets really good and the final act is emotionally powerful as hell IMO.

In keeping it 100 with you; this movie was made for people who are VERY serious about this subject in RL. I mean no disrespect but you've always come across as someone who doesn't care and/or has no interest in it. So you might not enjoy the film.

Slow burns have never ceased my enjoyment. Close Encounters was definitely a slow burner, and it's one of the first 4k's I purchased.

If you decide to watch it I am looking forward to hearing your thoughts on it.

I plan to get around to it. There's a few Spielberg flicks i haven't gotten around to that i need to remedy. Munich is another, and I have no idea how that's managed to evade me.

The Color Purple is still my favorite of all his films.
