Simply A Masterpiece
Great Film overall
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
This is, to me, a 3 star film. Why give 1 star? Because the ratings are wrong!Since everyone at least starts watching movies knowing the basic premise, from the beginning it didn't generate "why? curiosity, A-ha" realization. We knew it all and... nothing really happens afterwards. At the beginning, when the whole family leaves the youngest son behind. I go WTF. Is he not their son? This little boy lags way behind on the railroad (full of danger, where he can easily trip over). They never look back. When the noise erupts, the mother just stares for a long long moment. The whole thing is so unrealistic. So contrived. They needed a forced drama and shock, none of which I felt. From that moment on, it was flaw after flaw, hole after hole, cliche after cliche. I could predict every jump scare before it happened, including that open palm on the glass door. How many times do we have to see that? Overall, it felt like a clumsy student project.
Nothing happens for a solid 45 minutes then BAM Emily Blunt goes into labor, impales her foot on a thick nail, drops a lamp attracting the monster and has to scramble to survive. WHILE HAVING A BABYjust when u think the situation can't get worse, it doesit's like the movie tryna target Emily Blunt and her newborn specificallyEmily Blunt's character in this movie is braver than any US MarinesI cANT. BELIEVE. Nobody died in this film, except an elderly couple. EVERYONR LIVED. amazing.John Krasinski was pretty cute in this movie, Emily Blunt a total badass. Winning performance from husband-and-wife duo.
Having just watched this on a home Dolby Atmos system (7.1.4) I have to say it is an experience like no other. The sounds from above, as the characters look up, surprise, delight and terrify. A great deal of thought and care went into this and it is worth seeing. Do remember that it is a film with prolonged periods of silence but if you truly understand this before viewing, you won't be disappointed.
I'm not sure what movie some people saw going by their negative reviews but it wasn't this one. A Quiet Place is a tense and artfully shot movie that makes full use of sounds to crank up the tension. With barely any dialogue that's a great feat. The acting is top notch and the fear on the faces of the actors really does seem real. Yes, there are plot holes but in a movie where you have to suspend your disbelief, I find there are always plot holes. I enjoyed it a lot and look forward to the sequel.
