Un coin tranquille: Jour 1

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'm really perplexed by this one, I had genuinely expected it to precede the first film, give us some answers, some explanations, and set us up for that Emily Blunt scenario, it doesn't...

...It somehow does the same job as the first film, but with less success, there are some excellent scenes, but we have genuinely seen it all before, except for that cat.

I don't really know what the purpose of this one was, did none of them get to hear about those monsters, was this way before, or is it a total reset?

Day one, implies that month 6 or year 2 is on the way, I wonder, we certainly have some potential with that boat.

I thought it was well acted and features some wonderful visuals, the visual effects team did a great job with it, wonderful looking sets.

It reminded me of one thing, there's nothing like Whisky and cold pizza.

Cat deserves an award.

6/10.

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.

This movie wasn't bad but it could have been called Quiet Place 3. This movie should have focused more on the aliens, the why, where and how of them coming. Even how they were able to determine the mode of hunting and such frim the aliens. To me things like that would be a better prequel.

I did really like the emotional aspect that was written into the story but it began to feel that story line became more the focus as the movie went on and the aliens became the after thought.

The special effects were great. The alien design was same as before stellar. I think the movie would have benefited from being more focused on the aliens and building up to the fight against them.

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.
