I liked that they didn’t make the leads a romance story - just two people trying to make it out alive

[@Limegreenyummyyummy]

Right! Cos there's really no time to tryna hook up!

[@MAFDOMiNUS]

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.

During the entire non spoiler review I was like “I need to know if that cat dies because that is going to entirely determine if I watch this movie or boycott it”

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.

[@ngin98]

whats so tragic about this movie is it got me thinking in apocalypse movies what would happen to the ppl that have no one 😥

[@Gallard-002]

Well, hopefully they get along with black women well

[@musicmashups]

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 🤣

[@Tokyo-In-My-Dreamz]

Don't buy popcorn 😅. Movies silent 70% time so can hear your chewing lol

[@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. I thought we were going to see that I the final act. Movie is good though. My sister loved it. I just liked the first 2 more

[@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.

[@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).

[@christianlynn2046]

Always a huge fan of the dad joke openers - never get rid of them Dan 😂

[@PranavanathanYoganathan]

Frodo is the true star of the 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).

[@fatalynn7]

You turned me around on this one Dan. I had written the series off because I was expecting a cheap cash grab but I really like what you had to say in the non spoiler part. I look forward to seeing it now.

[@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.

[@AeroDude73]

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.

[@clarissawestbrook2203]

I’m a HUGE movie lover/fanatic and aspiring actress. I have already watched 20 movie releases this year including A Quiet Place Day One. I throughly enjoyed this movie.

[@BirbalBonifaceMusoba]

The whisper ❤

[@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.

[@padenfrank6047]

Dan needs to do ASMR based on that cold open.

[@OrionInSpace]

Lupita’s character’s motivation in this movie given her situation is honestly one I could easily get behind… that being said once that motivation got achieved, there was something “cold” about it that didn’t sit with me, and I immediately reverted back to not agreeing with it😂

[@tonyparisi3975]

Less than 24 hours after the invasion, Lupitas character figures out that talking under a water fall muffles the sound from the aliens Also in the original they refer, on the screen, to this being DAY 1

[@Mechyuske]

Hey Dan, have you checked out The Bear yet? Some of my favorite television in a long while.

[@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.

[@garymarshall2606]

Hello Dan. I did not see the first two films. However I am now interested. Would you recommend watching the prequel first then the first and second? Or should I watch them in release order.

I just saw the movie today and I agree the movie is a solid character driven story, and if the filmmakers had gone the action/cgi heavy route it wouldn't have had the same impact and I wouldn't have been as invested in the characters or the cat, which I also agree Frodo the cat is probably the smartest movie cat I've seen for a long time

[@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. 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@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.

[@joen0411]

Haven’t watched it yet so I skipped spoiler part of video. Two problems keeping me from watching it in theaters . My problem with part 2 was when they showed the first day. Everyone quickly figured out they had to only be quiet. They were in the middle of a room in plain sight and only keeping quiet. Based on the trailer and the non spoiler review, it looks like the same thing. I would prefer a story of how they figured this out. Second is the cat. I don’t want to see that cat die. But it can only the only survive in two ways. It conveniently only makes noise when it can’t be heard. The monsters are toned down and no longer seconds away from killing you after making a noise. I know it sounds like I’m nitpicking. But I’m one of those people who doesn’t go to movie theaters regularly anymore. I’ll wait to watch it a home. If I’m wrong and I like the movie. I doubt I’ll be disappointed that I didn’t see it in a theater.

Everything u said shouldn't do is actually what they should've done! Military, how they got here, was there any warning, ETC... We've already followed characters like this but better! Stupid decision boring character same element just WTF? The BEST MOVIE to put on before going to sleep! 😴💤👍

Loved Lupita's character and the whole pizza story, but I did not see any emotional ties between her and the British guy. Her sacrifice was more for herself, I get it, but there should have been a better reason why he was the one she had to save. Maybe it would have been better if she saved the nurse guy. QP 1 &2 is undeniable because its the family tie that is at risk. Tough benchmark to overcome.

[@DanMurrellMovies]

I love that this was a story about two strangers who came to rely on each other for survival and comfort. That made the story more powerful than if she had already known him, to me. It speaks to how family isn't just blood, it can be the people who help each other in a time of need.

@@brianng8350 🤭I had to laugh when she left him at the apartment after the storm and somehow was able to find her and that look she gave him…it was like “seriously!” dude couldn’t take a hint🤭

[@natrelletyson]

Hm, I can definitely see your point. It seemed like she kept pushing the nurse guy away but got completely hooked on a stranger. Nevertheless, it was her choice to save him in the end and chose to die by her own will.

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!

[@CyclingMartialartswithMusic]

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

[@generations-now]

I liked this movie. Not overwhelmed with nonsense explosions. Well acted.

[@Reebert02]

I’ve had a soft spot for “Quiet Place” movies because they’ve been character driven movies that just so happened to have monsters. I was afraid this was going to be a big dumb action movie and the last minute review embargo didn’t calm those fears. That said, I knew five minutes in that this was going to be great film. My only complaint is Djimon Hounsou’s cameo role. I HOPE it’s only a setup for a bigger role in the next one (?)

[@ExpertContrarian]

Them skipping over the learning curve was not a pro. It was a negative.

[@QuarterCoyote]

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

[@Rooney87]

Dan can't thank you enough for this review for putting spoilers in. Not gonna lie I committed movie crime, I watched the spoilers without seeing the movie. I love my cats, I just can't see a cat death so I had to see what happens which I won't say to see if I wanna see the movie.

[@keeganthorpe]

This was my favorite in the franchise.

[@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.

[@ericc.petrie7572]

The problem with the theory that films people seem to like is correlating to box office success is that Furiosa has higher Metacritic, audience, and RT scores than either Bad Boys or Quiet Place. Yes Furiosa bombed big time. 11:49

[@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.

[@camiladuarte8650]

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

[@MichaelBriggs3]

I wish they showed the story of where the aliens came from.

[@superjackster0165]

Same. I’d like to know where they came from, who/what created them, why/how were they sent to earth, why they can’t see things but can hear stuff, etc

[@CurtisClamsauce]

Frodo 4 Eva!

[@tleeg74]

I was really disappointed in this one. I loved part 1 and 2, but this one was pretty boring and didn't have me on the edge of my seat like 1 and 2.

[@Fordyshoor]

I was disappointed. None of the scenes ever seemed to last very long and brought down tension. More moments like being trapped under the car, moments that focus in on unexpected but feasible suspense help bring out realism and more investment. In a movie about blind aliens, the least realistic part was Frodo. I've raised cats all my life and not even a Marine Secret Service Judo-Trained service cat would get half the distance it did in the movie, much less find his way back to owners in complete silence. It's silly, I know, but it constantly took me out of it.
