Un Lugar En Silencio: Día Uno

What a fantastic surprise: a horror that is more (much more) than jump scares or cliched characters. This is refreshingly different, character driven & beautifully acted.

For the most part it is silent & subtle (which means it will fly over the heads of the quiet, quiet bang school of modern horror fans). Telling the story of 'day one' and its immediate aftermath through the eyes of a terminally ill young poet and her cat and the people she meets on her journey: her hospice nurse, a family man and his wife & kids, a young brother & sister and intimately a young English law student.

It's the latter that has the greatest impact on her life and their relationship is played very movingly.

A moving tale of good people coping with apocalyptic developments with immense humanity. Bravo!

Coming into A Quiet Place: Day One, you would assume that it would revolve around the history of how ' this thing' occurs and how it relate to the present day. Apparently not. This film pretty much an unnecessary spin-off of the first film.

Some cool scenes with decent visual and sound, has weird pacing, some of the humors are cringe, the heartfelt moments just doesn't do it for me. I like Joseph Quinn as a person, but in some scenes, his acting is kind of awkward.

Overall, it's an okay sci-fi horror with barely-exists-generic plot. Nothing groundbreaking, but still somewhat fun.

6/10.

Generic, but at least the cat is cute.

Unexpectedly, quite dull.

'A Quiet Place: Day One' builds some tension well and features very good sound design, though the story and its characters are a disappointment. I have no issues with Lupita Nyong'o and Joseph Quinn, they try, but Sam and Eric are written quite boringly. I felt like we were missing some major character development for both.

The plot is rather underwhelming. There is some additional meaning in there admittedly, but it's literally one lame objective and then the standard styled exit. It felt whilst watching that the movie had barely any flesh on its bones. The cat stuff is cute, though the obvious lack of true jeopardy for Frodo even hampers that from hitting for real.

There is at least a pleasing use of Nina Simone's Feeling Good. Overall, however, this left me feeling extremely meh, unfortunately. I am, it is worth noting, someone who doesn't love the original two movies; though I did like the first flick just about enough.

Absolute snooze fest, never been more bored watching a movie in theatres, expected better as the previous movies were somewhat thrilling. I have no idea how rotten tomatoes rated this 87%, was so so boring. This movie should not have been classed as a horror movie more a romance/drama. I regret spending money to go watch, only good thing about the movie was the cat, I cared for only the cat I couldn't care less about any of the other characters. I am very disappointed with this movie I expected great things but was ultimately let down, i wish I could get my 29 dollars I spent at the movie theatre back, but unfortunately it's gone forever, like my interest in the A Quite Place universe.

I just got out of A Quiet Place: Day One

It wasn't what I was expecting, based on the trailers, I was looking forward to seeing the carnage of Day One and everyone figuring out, silence is golden and that they need to be quiet. I didn't like that almost everyone learned to be quiet, off screen. So it was nothing we have not seen before. Characters trying to get from A to B (the point B, being stupid), whilst trying to be quiet.

Keeping it spoiler free, the movie starts off with a huge reveal (not in the ad camping) regarding a main character, that robs the movie of something.

Lupita Nyongo (brilliant, how does she not get more work?) and Stranger Things, Joseph Quinn (giving young Robert Downey Jr vibes) are both great and have good chemistry!! They share some nice, tender, human scenes (thought the script never makes it clear, why their characters connect so quickly and deeply) in what is a pretty sad and depressing movie. Not what was advertised, at all.

The CGI looks good and there are a few genuine jump scares.

This really doesn't seem like a franchise movie, it's much smaller in scale and scope (despite taking place in New York City, on the first day of an alien invasion) than the first two movies and that is a compliment, as it adds to the intimate and claustrophobic atmosphere, but from the trailers, his looked to be the biggest of them all.

I will say, that cat was way too quiet. It constantly took me out of the movie, how quiet it was being.

It sounds like I hated the movie, I didn't. It is a well made movie, with some fun action sequences that made me want to eat a margarita pizza. I just didn't love it, as much as I'd hoped and I think it's a missed opportunity.
