Excellent adaptation.
It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
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.
I liked everything about this mixture of dystopian science fiction and horror except for its runtime. It reminded me of the sci-fi short stories that I devoured as a teenager and finished reading in 10-15 minutes. At least half the movie could have been cut or condensed. In this golden age of television, it would have been better suited as an episode of a Twilight Zone remake.
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.
Even a worse movie than Mother! I regret wasting my time watching this dumb movie
