A Quiet Place: Day One - Review (Non-Spoiler & Spoiler)

[@HelloMisterJAMWAH]

The trailer didn't grab me, I only went because I like seeing movies in general. Wasn't even a fan of the original (never saw part 2) but I really enjoyed this movie! It's a drama more than a horror, more about accepting fate and coming to terms with a huge change. After covid it's very relatable. And I'm not a cat person but I'd fight a monster for Frodo.

[@Tokyo-In-My-Dreamz]

You keep bring up characters, but i guess im one of few that gets tired of "character growth" in these films of today because they are ALWAYs some generic dramatic issue thats either a mental issue or some mondern day insert issue, when im just trying to see a entertaining horror movie.

[@JS-og8oj]

As silly as it is this movie has one of my greatest pet peeves, characters who are literally underwater in one scene who dry off in less than 10 seconds. Even Frodo apparently finds a Dyson because that was not a wet cat.

I was really impressed at how well this film was handled. It's still quiet and scary for most of the runtime, and a character-focussed narrative was absolutely the right way to go. We all know how great Lupita Nyong'o is but I was surprised at how much I enjoyed Joseph Quinn's performance: much more excited to see him as Johnny Storm now. Also, I know exactly which "studio mandated jumpscare" you were referring to 🤣

[@78konjo]

I don't know if this is the audience success that Dan or even I expected leaving the theater. I loved this movie and agree with Dan a ton that these movies were never about big action movie spectacles but looking at Twitter or Audience RT takes it seems a lot of people expected or wanted that. Lupita and Joseph were powerhouses and their character's stories really touhed my heart

[@averagejoe6617]

They probably expected that because that's what the trailers constantly focused on.

[@Erawk]

don't go by online reaction. remember, they are a small number of people compared to the amount of the people who go to these movies, and people are more likely to go online to complain than they are to praise.

[@lisadiaz9875]

To be honest I am one of those people because after re watching the second quiet place, the actor that was put in this movie as well talked about 12 ships that were there and only 2 ships that made it out.

Can I just say I appreciate the fact you put the ads at the start and end, unlike some people who force them in the middle of a sentence

[@knaditya8228]

It’s all in the contract it’s actually pretty hard to find sponsors who are ok with having their sponsor segment at the end of the videos, for most channels it already hard enough to get a decent sponsorship then having to find a company which okay with being at the end of videos is very difficult. it’s not their fault most youtubers want to make a living and it’s not really easy on just ad revenue so they take sponsors who don’t play by their rules.

[@danielpalma6895]

Military should have just flown a helicopter around and distracted aliens while everyone escaped

[@desertsuede4]

The aliens have a hearing that adjusts based on the plot needs, so that wouldn't have worked

[@chrissolace]

Honestly I thought that’s what they did kind of in the middle of the movie, before the main female lead met through male lead, where she was with the 2 kids and hiding while the helicopter went in one direction and then shouted to go to the dock or something, and then people came out in that big crowd (eventually leading to them being “caught” and killed en masse).

[@FabianSish]

@@chrissolaceyea but they very easily could have gone to the opposite side of the city, blast music or sound while people walked to the docks. They did it and then left. If this was a real effort this would have been solved much quicker. Huge suspension of disbelief for me. Like some of the dumbest humans ever portrayed in a movie

[@gonaye1]

I really loved this movie! The creatures were as scary as ever and it was interesting seeing everything happen in a metropolitan environment rather than in an isolated town. I personally connected very much with Lupita’s character right from the beginning. Without spoiling it too much, I think the film tried to answer the question of “how important would the literal end of the world actually be when in some ways it feels like ‘your own personal world’ was already ending long before the aliens arrived?” Lupita’s journey felt deeply personal to me and really touched me. It made me tear up by the end of the story. We also learn a tiny bit more about the creatures though I think we are overdue for a better understanding of how they originally came to invade the planet. Ultimately, I thought Day One was great and would rank it as my second favorite film in the series (after the first one).

[@Erawk]

Only thing I thought was missing was a scene where they explain how the human's learned the aliens hunt by sound. Aside from that, movie was terrific.

[@twovalerian]

I'm really sad to see negative comments about this movie. To me, it's the highlight of the franchise, but I suppose that's because different people are looking for different things. Personally, I couldn't care less about the aliens - genuinely terrified the next one will be about "alien lore" or "fighting back" (I had the same problem with where the Planet of the Apes franchise seems to be going - please don't bring the humans back yet, they are not the heart of this story!). Who cares where they're from!! Space, I'd assume?? Okay, good for them! I'm happy to see action or horror films, but they have to be driven by a soulful core, which this movie definitely had (and semi-demogorgon motherships probably won't). I thought it was very smart and beautiful to frame the story around Sam, and Lupita Nyong'o, as well as Joseph Quinn, created very sympathetic characters. To me, the draw of this movie was highlighting what society lost along with sound - art, connection, emotional release, etc. I found such moments quite lovely and poignant for a random sci-fi prequel. While watching, I started forming this image of Sam as a representation of the artist that would be considered of little significance to society, while Eric would be the career-driven successful man participating in the machine. However, after the world collapses, he is "reborn" (we first see him emerging out of the water) without a purpose, lost and terrified without a framework to function within. The epic, unkillable magical cat literally guides him to Sam, who's empathy, soulfulness and self-assuredness gives Eric new goals, new strength, moves him from stasis. He dedicates himself to her, eases her pain, and she guides him to new life. My friend and I cried A Lot during this movie (happens often, to be fair), and while the other two are nice 90-minute horror flicks, Day One definitely left a much stronger impression, and I hope it does well, because it could encourage studios to put more trust in freshly hired indie directors. P.S. - so glad they Finally took advantage of ambient sound!

[@ExpertContrarian]

The original is the highlight. This is the cash grab prequel.

[@whogg0521]

[@schouse]

Yeah this was miss for me. Dont get me wrong I like the acting from the main characters but felt like this was a DLC of a blockbuster game. Part 2 had a day one scene as well that i was invested in bc of the family. I get the whole strangers come together thing but the way they came together for me was not good..bc of the cat finding the dude and he followed it to Lupita lol? The cat btw should have been killed in the movie theater when the nurse almost caught it the first time. I figured she was sacrifice herself at the end. So it was alot of just getting to that point.My question though is was she just going to leave the cat and just allow the monsters to get her after getting the pizza if she never met jospeh quinns character or she was going to try to stay alive and find someone to give the cat to bc she was terminal after she got the pizza by herself? The story was something ive seen alot in movies so thats why i think my enjoyment wasn't like with the other 2 movies. Maybe for other people though.

This movie was terrible, absolute TRASH. Do not waste your money on this one, it's nothing like the original. There's so much wrong with this movie that I don’t even know where to begin. The main issue is the writing, it SUCKS, I mean why wouldn’t they explore the alien side of things, like what are they, where do they come from, and how were they able to overwhelm the most powerful military on the planet??? Nope, instead we got a movie about a cat and some pizza...GTFOH, horrible choices for actors as well, they made the guy into a whiny, crybaby while the woman was the strong, empowered hero! Collectively, we’re all sick of that! One last thing, New Yorkers are armed up to the teeth, people would not be hiding like cowards while their loved ones, friends and neighbors are getting slaughtered, we would have fought back with everything we got, that's the movie I wanted to see, how we fight back and still loose! This was one of the worse movies I have ever seen...HOT GARBAGE!

[@ryanellis1708]

Adding to your great video about how to get people to go back to the movies when you, Dan, said that the audience surrounding you can be a big problem, my wife and I experienced that exact thing on Friday afternoon. We saw a not-busy 4 pm show, but 2 older men sat down in the back row a few seats away from us. And then---these senior citizens, mind, you, not teenagers---were talking and on their fully-lit-up phones for the first 5 minutes of the movie! I saw where it was going and got up to get in their faces and tell them to get off their phones (yes, I AM that guy), but they either didn't understand English (they were Asian) or just didn't care. I'm leaning towards "just didn't care" because who goes to see an English-language movie if they don't speak it? So my wife and I went down several rows to avoid having to hear muttering (I think one of the guys was talking to somebody on his phone) and have those full-on bright lights too. And this after Lupita herself came on before the show started to ask people to not talk and not be on their phones since IT'S A MOVIE ALL ABOUT QUIET AND DARKNESS! Anyway, I would give the flick a soft 3 out of 4 stars, but my wife didn't like it all that much. There IS a huge inconsistency with what those aliens can and can't hear, which I guess was true of the other movies too.

[@teamshanicextra]

This movie tried too hard to manufacture sympathy and emotion. . It stinks of contrived. And is lackluster writing. On top of that I have a huge issue with movies that don’t acknowledge that “movies” exist. Too many people do stupid stuff just so the movie can “happen”. The “A Quiet Place” franchise hasn’t been able to deliver on anything beyond the “self-sacrifice moment” that the first movie was designed to have. All that said, Lupita did a great job with what was on the page.

Great, Dan! I think this is the best in the trilogy. Agree with all you say, including that one jump scare, but it didn't bother me, I was so involved and emotionally invested. I think Frodo was played by 2 cats, unless I misread the credits at the end. How did he avoid getting wet in the sewer scene? Movie 'magic'. No matter, I loved it

[@drlarryjohnson7880]

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. However, one scene made absolutely no sense to me. The scene where Joseph Quinn's character goes out to find meds for Lupita. Yeah, I get that part, but the whole sequence attached to after finding the meds made no sense whatsoever, and I thought at that point he was totally out of character, achieving a level of bravery that was not in keeping with the frighten individual he was introduced to us as. Go out to get the meds alone, was a big enough stretch for this character. And you can't chalk it up to character development, because there just wasn't enough time for such a dramatic switch. And while I appreciate the cat, I found too many shots inexplicable and therefore unbelievable.

[@RSVC11]

My friend and I watched the film together last night, and we both have significantly different views on why one loved the movie and the other felt like it lacked (I believe the film lacked). SPOILERS AHEAD... So, the themes of the "A Quiet Place" movies essentially boil down to family. The stories are told in a big world while focusing on a small group. Now, the marketing for this movie is why I think it has gotten mixed reviews as of its release date. This film showcased the FIRST DAY of the new world, and we kind of skip over that (now bear with me). When the aliens arrive, there is a cloud of smoke that fills the streets and surrounds Lupita's character, Sam; this builds tension because Sam doesn't know what is happening; the audience does because we have seen the monsters in previous movies, and it was at this point that I believe the film started to fail for me. During this scene, Sam tries to understand what is happening but cannot see anything. She runs, hides, finds someone staying quiet, sits with them and watches an individual calling out for help in the nearby distance who gets killed by the monsters. She then gets up and runs for her life, and an explosion knocks her back to a wall, and she goes unconscious. The title card reveals the movie's name, and we wake up to everyone understanding that they need to be quiet. What I believe would have been more enjoyable when she was in the cloud of smoke is instead of having an explosion knock her out, have us, the audience, experience the world going quiet with Sam. During a moment when you cannot see anything, we could essentially be in the shoes of the monsters while still following our protagonist, which would be a POV we have never explored (this would have been something new to contribute to the films). During this moment, it's loud and chaotic; with each passing second, the decibels get lower and lower because the monsters attack and destroy anything that makes a sound. This would have been an exciting way to showcase to our character that sounds affect the creatures. It felt cheap that Sam had to be "told" not to speak or make sounds. Day One should have been about the characters adapting to the new setting and how they must learn to survive these new predators that have invaded Earth. While the story of Sam going to get pizza fits the theme of a small story set in a big world that a quiet place is known for, the marketing for this movie did not do that storyline justice. If you go over the trailers, they continue to show us this idea that we will be viewing a story of two unlucky characters who get caught in an unbelievably horrific position, and the whole time thinking, how will they escape? If you are someone like me who has watched the previous movies before seeing this one, you already know the monster's weakness; you know they can't swim, that higher frequency sounds can cause them grief and run away, and that loud noises can trump minor sounds. What I expected to see in this film was these survival tactics being learned by the two main characters. There is a great scene in the film where our two characters, Sam and Eric, are in a tunnel being flowed down by a rapid stream of water, and the monster chases them on the ceiling. Brilliant tension, and I, for a moment, forgot that these monsters couldn't swim. As the water gets higher, the monster is caught in it and unfortunately drowns; right there, our characters learn the monsters cannot swim and must go to a boat on the water to escape. This way of showcasing should have been prominent throughout the entire movie. There is a scene when it starts raining, and this would be interesting because we have yet to see what happens with the monsters when environmental factors are considered. Two characters are out in the streets and come up to this metal roof where the noise of the rain trumps the characters' voices, which are kept at a low volume. Sam suddenly looks up at the roof, becomes really smart, and starts talking (at a low volume), saying their voice won't be heard because the rain would be louder, but all I could think was, how could she possibly know that? We have never been told that. These characters have yet to be shown that this is even remotely possible. Again, to me, it felt cheap. They told the audience instead of show. The first movie did this as well, but they at least showed this effect by having the little boy scream at the top of his lungs at the waterfall and us being positioned so far away that we could barely hear him over the waterfall. For the scene in the rain for Day One, what would have been better was if they had the monsters close by and either one of the characters made a mistake dropping something or pushing something over, making a sound, but the monsters don't notice it because it's drowned out by the rain. This, again, would've been a way to showcase how our characters could have a chance at survival against these creatures. On top of that, learning they could talk while it was raining and decided to go find shelter was the loudest "HUH?" I had ever said out loud in a theatre. Again, I know the story centred around Sam wanting to get pizza as a last wish, but even then, to minimize the potential danger of being killed by the monsters, they should have walked the streets of New York during that weather! Overall, the movie is crafted well with its storyline IF the marketing was better handled to showcase the story they told rather than the one we were expecting. The trailers showed a fast-paced, scary horror, which didn't fit the themes of the past two movies, where characters are going to be put in positions that help us (the audience) learn how the characters of a quiet place 1&2 learn the skills and tactics to survive 400 days after Day One. I was expecting something different, which excited me, but this movie was the same thing we had seen before, with cheap ways of telling us how they survive and not actually showing us. Quick note... The first time my friend and I saw the group of monsters crawling around New York at terrifying speeds was extremely fun! It was a solid movie, but the first two were miles ahead on rating scores because they knew what stories they wanted to tell and what audiences they wanted to attract. 6/10.

[@PaperMario64]

Seems like the people who are incredulous about the cat have never had one or several. Each cat is different but most are very observant and this was a service cat, so it’s had an extra layer of training. 🤷🏽‍♀️

I didn't watch any trailers for the movie, so i went in thinking it was either going to be a collection of moments in various ppls lives on day 1 of the alien invasion, or they were going to hollywood blockbuster the premise, and i'm very happy to have been wrong. I had hoped it would have the same feeling as the other movies in that its following just a few characters closely, and they feel very human, not melodramatic, and it was! Also like Dan said, sound design was a+. I kept expecting the cat to die, not for the emotional impact, so much as i kept expecting the cat to make noise by accident. 😅

I saw this last night in my favorite Dolby Atmos theater, and holy crap when that guy in the opening scene, I think, when he says something to Lupita Nyong'o as she’s walking down the hall and it came from the left rear corner, I swear to God, I thought someone was over there literally yelling at the screen, lol. The sound design in this movie, really warrants you seeing it in a quality theater either with Dolby Atmos, or at least IMAX. I haven’t heard anyone mention, though, lol, is that the cat does not meow once in the entire movie! How many times when something like an explosion or something falling, or whatever that would normally scare a cat, or at least when the cat is just interacting with its owner, cats normally meow in those situations, but how is this cat in the movie not meowing one single time!? I’m sure I’m not the only one wondering that exact thing. Lol.

I’m sorry but the cat was one of the most annoying pet characters in all of film history

[@rivothrills]

This movie was - at best - mid. The cat ex machina was the thing that really took me out of it

[@CyclingMartialartswithMusic]

One thing that bothers me is the unrealistic cat. 😂 How come the cat fldont hiss at the aliens. 😅

[@sandhurstwolves3956]

What a terrible film best thing about it was that it was only 1 hr and a half long

[@AdiAfendi]

I wanted the cat to die. I'm a cat person yet I wanted the cat to die.

[@ngin98]

I heard another reviewer said they got word they scrapped a lot of scene regarding the aliens origin so maybe that had some effect on those changed or scrapped scenes from the trailers

[@thebrentrobinsonshow2882]

This movie was average at best but great review.

[@karrde666666]

no hollywood cheese and a lot about her art. it was so good

[@BirbalBonifaceMusoba]

The whisper ❤

[@keeganthorpe]

This was my favorite in the franchise.

[@bernardodelcast]

Its a weird movie. I didn't like it at all. Not that Lupita Nyongo's motivation is unrelatable. But it feels a little undermined by the need to jam in action set pieces that feel barely connected. I also just don't get Joseph Quinn's character. None of his actions make sense to me, neither why he decides to follow Lupita Nyongo, nor why he is so helpless and panic stricken. We simply don't get enough meat on that bone. An interesting setup without any real progression.

[@Darlingwillow0212]

Finally someone said it ! I was so confused why that guy kept following her

[@DanMurrellMovies]

SPOILERS I think he follows Samira because she's the only person who's not panicking, who seems to have a purpose and a confidence in a bad situation. As to why he's so helpless and panic stricken, well...when we meet him, he'd nearly drowned in the subway due to the river flooding it and he was being stalked by killer aliens. I'd be pretty panic-stricken myself. Not everyone faces adversity with strength. Some people need help, and we see him gain strength through Samira throughout the entire movie.

[@bernardodelcast]

@@DanMurrellMovies yeah, that's fair, I just think a more helpless - connected character would have fit the bill better. Say for example Djimon Hounsou's child, or even the male nurse. Someone with more evidently compelling reasons that would translate through the lack of dialogue.

[@cjspyker]

he a cat owner. I hated the cat Scenes

[@drewmcgill5290]

My favorite of the three so far! I gave it a GO SEE IT

[@derekthedullard]

I agree. I think it's my favourite out of the three.

[@derekthedullard]

Definitely..my favourite of the three too!

[@izzyci]

I go with it's fine for this

[@achannell362]

There’s more to it than just being well-reviewed. I think people wanted to see movies like these. No one wanted a Furiosa prequel, even if it was actually good in execution. People wanted to see the first day of a Quiet Place, the next steps for Riley’s emotions, and the next Bad Boys chapter. My guess is if Furiosa had been Theron’s character, and a sequel to Fury Road with Max, people would’ve showed up in droves. It’s about making what audiences want.

[@antewehlen4236]

Spoilers ahead. I think the first two are amazing, so I was really looking forward to this. However, this one was a massive disappointment. I think the driving force behind part 3 would be to get answers to the aliens' arrival. I mean, we've seen burning stuff in the sky, but what is it. Like my friend said before, seeing how the creatures are, it doesn't feel believable that that pilot space ships, so how did they arrive on Earth? Well, as I see it, we still don't know. There was a scene with something that I think were eggs, but then the creatures ate them... I think. So I don't know what the hell that was. And I think we see a big creature, a king, or queen , or a mother for a few seconds... but that was it...? Weird. The characters are stupid and forgetful. The man decides to risk his life by going out in the city alone to get some medicine for the woman who's already dying and have decided to die already so why make that extremely stupid decision?! The only one I cheered for throughout the entire story was Frodo, the cat. He's magical by the way. Also, not a single scene with the creatures is rememberable. And putting Djimon's character in the story (who was in Part 2) was stupid and borders on false marketing. Honestly, I just wanted the movie to end. It's sad because I was really looking forward to this movie. And it's been a long time since I had this bad of a experience at the movies. Well, you can't like everything. It is what it is.

[@DanMurrellMovies]

To answer your question about why Eric went to get medicine for Samira... SPOILERS She was in a massive amount of pain because of her late stage cancer and her fentanyl pain relief patch had come off. He went to get her more patches to ease her suffering. I like that he risked his own life not to save hers, but to relieve the intense pain she was feeling. It was an act of compassion and gratitude because he would not have survived without her. I don't see it as a stupid act in any way. It was a kindness and speaks to the theme of the movie, which saw two strangers surviving through kindness and compassion.

[@Eheth1958]

I think they are like space spiders. Going from planet to planet by flying in space like spiders do

[@midniteoilfilms]

Best one of the series because the writing actually makes consistent sense. AQP1 is terribly written and its characters have terrible logic. Bring a constantly noisy baby into this world when they can't keep all their kids, who are moreso aware of their situation, alive?! No one should've survived that film and makes AQP2 undeserved, at least following the Abbotts.

[@Leah_Newton]

It would have been a perfect video if Dan completely goes silent and begins sharing his review by only HAND GESTURES! 😂 I swear I would have given a LIKE instantly. Now, I have to finish the whole video.

[@c.catarropamicuerpo7928]

good??? its bullshit

[@SpectrumPOV]

I think I would enjoy a review of A Quiet Place: Day One done in ASMR.

[@SuperFlik]

Hey Dan, might be a bit late since Charts is out tomorrow, but with news that Inside Out 2 has passed $1Billion worldwide, I'd be interested in seeing a chart tracking how quickly different $1Billion movies have reached that milestone.
