I saw the film on Thursday and it's pretty standard Spielberg fare.
That said, he does work faith into the story (one of the characters has a strong connection that I won't spoil), and quotes Genesis 1:26-28 (KJV):
26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the EARTH, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the EARTH.
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the EARTH.[1]
(My EMPHASIS added.)
I'll leave my commentary at that (so to not spoil more), but the intersection of faith and the disclosure is one that Spielberg and screenwriter David Koepp address directly.

Interesting. I will withhold my thoughts on that for now. I might see the movie and then offer up what I think.
There was a really interesting party that cut off. "that the end has some." Some what? My eternal soul could be resting on this!
It’s proof I need a copy editor. “The end has come”
Splendid piece, brother!!
I really enjoyed the Bible lesson — and I don’t believe in aliens. 👊❤️🙏
