This was a movie.

I'm running out of things to say about it.

It's promoted like this is going to be some big new experience, and it was just a generic chase adventure. Basically, this secret company connected to the government is in charge of the Roswell alien crap and they chase a bunch of whistleblowers and a TV weather girl who starts speaking alien and reading minds, and despite all sorts of hints about the importance of the aliens, we don't actually learn anything about them, aside from the fact that they did something to the two main characters which give them convenient powers to escape the evil corporation's thugs of varied competence. And it's just the main characters running and hiding and trying to meet up with a conspiracy of whistleblowers so they can tell the whole world about the Roswell stuff and the evil experiments the company has been doing on the aliens, and also the good team seems to worship the aliens for no explicable reason.

And that's it. The whole movie is all about the race to tell the world that aliens exist and the elaborate ways the people doing so have set things up to make the protagonists jump through hoops to get it done.

I'm tired of Spielberg's take on aliens, which is that they are inherently good and wonderful and we should do whatever they want and be honored by their interest, and no, you are never ever going to learn why, and you will damn well accept the premise that they are good, despite consistently messing with people's minds and free will in his movies for damn near fifty years. Every damn movie is about running and hiding and avoiding the sinister agents of a democratically-elected government of a constitutional republic, following the alien clues out of blind faith until the climax, where there are a lot of lights and an alien ship takes off. He dropped that last bit for this one.
