A Quiet Place: Day One

The plot is non-existent. The characters are bland and they rely too much on the monsters to create tension. You become desensitized to the monsters quickly and maybe you will start feeling sleepy like I did. Come to think of it, the monsters kinda look a little goofy with their watermelon heads.

The action is formulaic and very derivative. Make some noise. Monster appears. Hide from monster. Maybe someone dies, maybe no one dies. Rinse and repeat. Combined with a simple plot and it is a snooze-fest.

I am a big fan of the first film and this one falls short of it in nearly every aspect. I would not recommend this film to fans of the series.

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.

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.

I liked the movie for the most part. Lots of jump scares which is how I like my scary movies.

The actors were great . The actress that played sam was absolutely beautiful in her role. When she was frightened ,I was frightened ,when she was in pain I felt empathy. I liked the first Quiet place for it's absolute silence . Obviously there was more noise in this one but the silence was perfectly utilized.

Now for the best part. The cat Frodo. Played by two cats and NO CGI (which makes the cat acting even more incredible) Frodo kept my attention throughout the movie. I wish a cat could win best supporting actor because Frodo stole the show.
