About the “quiet kitty”, Sam’s cat is a service animal. One of the most emphasized qualities that service animals are trained to have is the ability to remain calm and quiet in chaotic loud situations and environments. Also service animals are trained to sense when someone is having anxiousness, so it explains why the cat is drawn to Eric.

[@aidaflores6024]

Wow. Well thank you for that explanation. I could never imagine a cat to be trained to be quiet and calm. So thats so interesting. My Winston is such a chatterbox he would get me killed first and anyone who dares gets near him;well he would meow them back into reality and have them killed as well lol.

[@alfredmeneses5496]

@@aidaflores6024 yeah it’s one of the first things a service dog or cat is tested for in order for the animal to be trained extensively, because they have to be calm and not reactive when their owners have anxiety attacks or get put under pressure.

[@Max-mm1sl]

Cats are used predominately as emotional support animals not service animals.

[@cedriccrawford4231]

I'm glad you mentioned that because I was about to say how the cat almost gets everyone killed at the start of the film but then is dead quiet somehow otherwise. I don't know why the guy risked his life to go save a cat that was just fine. It would have made it back on it's own without his "saving". It's also good to know that his buddy decided to suicide after said risking of life to get her medicine. Her quest to go find pizza single-mindedly in a hellscape is ridiculous

[@bruisedviolets]

i thought she was just being sarcastic when she said that

[@leeshaolivier9298]

My two kitties would have gotten us killed immediately.

[@StevenE-l9y]

I like when they said people were coughing in the theater so they would have been dead. Made me think how cool it would be if we could capture these alien creatures and put them in movie theaters so if anyone takes out their phone or starts talking during the movie it's instant death for them. I'm sure no one would be bothered by it.

I'm a huge cat person, but the cat totally broke my immersion in this film. Every situation I couldn't help but think no way the cat doesn't hiss or scramble from the water.

[@alfredmeneses5496]

It’s a service cat though. And one of the things that make service animals unique is that they are trained to remain calm and quiet in chaotic situations and environments.

[@SebaOW]

@@alfredmeneses5496 I don't think they train service animals to swim in subways and remain calm during horse Sized alien dday.

[@edwinv196]

Was it really a service cat? I thought she was just saying that to bs the guy at the store. I didn't even know service cats were a thing. I've seen lots of service dogs. Okay so I just looked it up. While cats can be therapeutic animals, they are not legally recognized as service animals. At least according to Google.

I love this KZbin channel and have been watching for a few months now. I can always get the most cynical take from these two and always ground my expectations. I may not agree with them most of the time, but their opinions is always part of my wheelhouse.

[@jujutaylor2186]

Pause: a quiet kitty? Me and my cat have very intricate conversations daily and the world don't even be ending. The quiet cat sounds like the most supernatural part of this ALIEN movie. PS why did y'all do Aggie that way by putting up that picture of her looking like a cold, angry grandma😂

[@destined2bebossy]

I anxiously waited until after I saw the movie to watch yall review ❤ I said the same thing, i whispered to my friend "yeh my cat would get me killed 😂" sorry but the cat would have been left on the curb. Totally agree, this movie did nothing to build onto the franchise. My friend said the scene where the guy is trying to get to the cat, there's a pod that the aliens eat. I thought it was a person or an animal but she said it was some type of hairy egg. I'm curious if anyone else caught this. She made a point that they don't really eat the people, just kill them so maybe their food source landed on earth, idk. The scene where he reads her poem about dying made me tear up. I also like the scene where people are trying to escape because typically in a movie there'd be chaos but it was eerie to have all these people trying to escape quietly. My dumba*s got popcorn so the whole movie I was trying to find the right moments to eat 😂😂 Overall it was predictable. Lupita did the d*MN thing with her acting 👏🏿

I was so worried that you weren’t reviewing AQP Day One! Couldn’t imagine that though.

Patsy’s is a real restaurant in East Harlem. I’ve had their pizza, definitely not dodging aliens level of greatness lol. It’s iight though. Love that Lupita is a scream queen now.

[@reginald1817]

This is a prequel. Usually in prequels you get more of an insight on the origins. There waa no real explanation on where the creatures are from, how did they get there exactly. We saw what seemed to be meteors in the sky, and I suppose that's how they got on earth, but that still leaves a loop hole! Lupita was cool!!

[@AceZachrocks123]

Ok so i saw this in August last year at a test screening and loved it. i believe they said the cut we saw was like 108 minutes so obviously its been trimmed. I might have blanked out during the review but was there a gay couple in the film that Lupita and Joseph stayed the night with in this film or were they cut. because the scene with them was so damn beautiful and I hear no one mentioning it online.

[@destined2bebossy]

I watched it yesterday, the couple was cut cause I don't remember them

[@AceZachrocks123]

@@destined2bebossy I saw it again yeah they cut out like 10 minutes of hospital scenes in the begining, and the couple scene. They later show the couple trapped in those memories monster eggs that they are feeding off of but the couple was smiling and hugging because they were together when they died, even though one of them was afraid for there life and the other was ok with the idea of dying in this time. It was setup so well I guess they really just wanted way less drama so they took out like 15 minutes of the version I saw. It's mucu faster pace but I felt the drama and stakes were almost weaker because of it.

I’m happy for Lupita but I loath JK and EB for some reason. He lost my respect during the pandemic. This movie casting and having a cat both seem like a try at an Oscar. If she wins I’ll be thrilled for her but I can’t be totally happy bc I think JK and EB have done SOMETHING to have such a strangle hold on the industry. They aren’t young or hot or exceptionally talented so why are they all over the place lol, why does his dry boring franchise keep getting sequels. It feels wrong.

Thanks for always being honest with your reviews!! I think these movies need to bump up to rated R so we can actually have some real horror. PG-13 horror just never works for me because it feels limited.

AMS’s Interview of the Vampire series review plzzzz!! Saw that S1, mind blowing s** scene!!

[@lynnturner5234]

I genuinely enjoyed this movie so much that I went to see it twice with different friends. I completely believe that a terminal person with nothing to lose would basically say Eff it, Imma die anyway, so I’m gonna go get my favorite pizza for my last meal. In such dire circumstances where there is little hope for survival, I believed her. I even believed that two people in such circumstances could build such a fast and strong bond. The one criticism I have is that a couple of their scenes dragged on too long (the scene in her Harlem apartment and the scene at the lounge with the piano). The one “I wish” thought is, I wish we’d seen more of the military’s response to the aliens and more of the people’s process of figuring out they needed to be silent/ the aliens couldn’t swim. They seemed to figure that out SO fast and I just don’t think that’s realistic.

[@dogface1911]

Shout out to Garth Brooks! 😆 I enjoyed this movie. But I feel the exact same way. Plus, the implication that the military knows that sound distracts the aliens. So why not lure the monster with sound into a slaughter fest? Have that not work for some reason and then carry on. It just felt like a massive plot hole right from the beginning. And fucking cat. Unrealistic! Lol.

[@thatbasicthespian861]

Basically the giant crowd of people started making a bunch of low noise (including a guy with a broken-wheeled suitcase) which triggered an attack. Lupita ran around hiding from them under a car, the cat disappeared in the chaos, and lupita almost got squished by the car but managed to make it out in one piece. She stumbles her way over to an alleyway where she hides. That’s when Nick emerges from the flooded subway and finds the cat. Hope this helps!

Hi Joseph & Nick!👽You guys nailed the review again and are so correct!❤Already saw the movie...What a big disappointment and not impressed as the trailers are very misleading and show all the action in the movie already. There are so many things that don't make any sense in the movie. Eric shinning the flashlight directly at the aliens numerous times and never turning off the flashlight....how do they even know the aliens are blind? Samira constantly going outside in the streets to hang out, relax and chill...what is she asking for an instant death? Samira and Eric both taking the cat underwater two different times, the first time for quit a long time, that cat would have been dead, but it never dies and never makes a sound through the entire movie. There is no way any animal would never make a sound. The movie did not take place on one day, because Samira and Eric are spending so much time together and sleeping at night. How many days passed by the time the movie ended? And there is still one boat left in the water and all the other boats are completely gone. Eric's character/personality is a mess. Eric's character did not need to be this way. And the cat was completely useless and not needed.🎥

In general loved the psychology of the characters and that they actually made me care. I have seen most of the new horror films this year and they have been mostly terrible with terrible character work. This was Oscar worthy in comparison lol.
