Steven Spielberg, who has been dazzling us with his otherworldly visions since the '70s, returns to his sci-fi roots with "Disclosure Day," in which Emily Blunt's perky meteorologist and Josh O'Connor's tech genius fight to reveal the truth about the existence of aliens.The sci-fi thriller reteams him with "Jurassic Park" screenwriter David Koepp, who also scripted "The Lost World: Jurassic Park," "War of the Worlds" and the two most recent Indiana Jones movies.How does it stack up with his earlier films? There's a good deal of overlap between it and "E.T" and "Close Encounters of the Third Kind," which may strike you as a welcome throwback or a case of "been there, done that" with our heroes running from shadowy agencies who are dead set on stopping them. Here's how we ranked all of the Oscar-winning director's 10 sci-fi movies. How would you rank them?10. 'Ready Player One' (2018)

The movie's virtual world, OASIS, a game interface packed with pop culture references, was nirvana for gamers and pretty much purgatory for nearly everyone else. Set in not-so-distant 2045, Wade Watts (Tye Sheridan) is no different from the rest of humanity, using OASIS as a way to escape the bleak present-day. Either you were strapped in for the AI-driven ride and enjoying the nods to classic video games like Space Invaders and Galaga and movies like "The Matrix" and "King Kong" or bored senseless. Wade is on a hero's quest to find the ultimate Easter Egg, hidden by eccentric OASIS creator James Halliday (Mark Rylance). After the nonstop virtual action, the film ends with Wade having gained new appreciation for the real world.Stream on HBO Max9. 'Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull' (2008)
