A Quiet Place: Day One Full Movie Review

[@rqtek4god]

The purpose of us wanting to see DAY ONE is HOW IT STARTED, How People learned about having to be silent, how they learned that they cant swim. If felt like they had an artsy film about death and a sick woman but attached the quiet place brand to it. THEY AINT EVEN SHOW TIME SQ or anything really NY. Why set it in NYC if you not gotta use TS, Subways, Skyscrapers, etc. This was a MID film, i was disappointed

😂😂😂 facts, this is the comment I've been looking for. Welll done

[@destinyn63]

I enjoyed the movie. Loved the ending and cried like a baby towards the end. Both of the main characters gave each other what the other needed. I think some people felt like Eric was a weak character but he wasn’t. Before the end of the world he said his purpose was going to law school and when it didn’t happen he was lost . I think he found a new purpose when he met Sam. I loved how even though they were strangers they still connected and helped each other. I teared up when she gave him her cat because he needed ot for his panic attacks and anxiety.

[@alishaxoxos]

I loved this movie, too! The other two were just okay to me.

[@warrenbfeagins]

We didn't even get a battle between the death angels and our military. We knew how it would end because of the first two movies and they showed the aftermath, but it would've been awesome to actually SEE it and it would've made this movie a blockbuster for the summer. Instead, we get Lupita and her cat with an emotionally fragile English dude following her around.

I'm glad for Lupita's sake it made money. The trailers were great.

[@LoniLoni11]

I can definitely agree with the character development point where there was a 10 mins space where they could have deleted because I don’t want to see someone reminiscing about playing a piano! Completely not necessary.

[@mjamitche5245]

Agreed. Can we get another Day 1 movie from the perspective of whoever monitors space and possible cutaways to the military and the government? Also, can we feature normal people who are not terminally ill? I feel they could have made a nice arthouse movie about a terminally ill patient who happened to be in an apocalypse which didn't involve the plot of A Quiet Place. That's basically what we got. It was an interesting movie, just not what I expected. I didn't have my questions answered about the monsters or the human discovery of how to beat them.

[@NaturalAegyo]

Hhhmmm. I agree that more city destruction would have been interesting. Maybe an office building full of coworkers, a restaurant scene, times square etc. However, this was _heavily_ marketed by Lupita and Joe as a movie from the point of view of two strangers. They did like 15+ interviews as a duo and at no point was I under the impression that I was going to see Independence Day. 'Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. ' John 15:13

[@Chatterboxtherapists]

Great review. We just returned from watching it and I'm left underwhelmed by the storyline, the men yelling and unable to keep it together, willing to sacrifice everyone in their space, pulling on a woman screaming for her to save him, it was so much messaging in this movie. The acting was awesome, but having people attach themselves to me for their survival has been the story of my life as well. He went to get her medicine, only after feeling guilty for nearly getting them killed. I did end up enjoying his character but without going too deep I agree with your perspective.

A 6.5 is very accurate outstanding .

[@ellemybelle]

Spoiler alert! Main character did not sacrifice herself, she was in the hospice at the start of the movie. She made noise by having car alarms go off to assist the other character to make it on board with her beloved cat (that is what she truly cared for and had an attachment to). She lived beyond that scene. At at the end we saw the choice she made on her own alone. I get what you are saying with characters sacrificing themselves for others, but that is not what is going on in this particular film.

[@NaturalAegyo]

Great point!

[@destinyn63]

Yes. That’s the whole point on why she didn’t get on the boats. She had every chance to but she didn’t. She was ready to die and she accepted her fate once she fulfilled her last wish.

She still saved him at the potential cost of her life...I did not appreciate that at all.

that's just their way of having a black character sacrifice their self for the Caucasian. As they always do in movies. ​@@ellemybelle

[@legendary8838]

I enjoyed it for what it was. I didn’t have any real complaints but I liked Lupitas and Joesph’s chemistry but the location in the city was definitely a different pace. There’s a fourth in the works so maybe then everyone that’s so interested in why and where they came from. I kinda like the mystery of knowing very little but from the looks the military didn’t do well

[@gillozada5090]

Thanks for your review, totally agree! My daughter and I, who totally loved the first two movies, walked out saying, it was okay/good but somewhat disappointing, the pacing was slow at times to the point I was shocked with myself that I nodded off a bit, not enough DAY ONE action scenes, yes, would've loved more military action scenes and more actual DAY ONE exposition. The two main character story was fine, but John Krasinski, we need you back on the helm!!!

[@aliciafranklin8707]

I totally agree with you. Did the aliens ship break down in our atmosphere? Where these aliens another aliens trash and they got rid of them on there planet, and dropped them in space, which would explain the look of meteors falling from the sky. And the aliens dropped right on earth. I would have like to know more about the aliens. Also when the man who was with Lupita running to the ferry. How did those aliens know not to go in the water. I thought we learned that in part 2. Do how would they know?.

[@tasharichmond7488]

Thanks for your honest opinion and keeping it 💯 If it was truly Day One…..the focus should have been on DAY ONE! No time jumps. Better yet……just call it A Quiet Place Beginning….maybe…..so I agree with your point.

I think people that don’t like the movie are the same people that don’t like dramas. Just like they don’t like character development and a lot of dialogue, they don’t like silence. They need constant action. I enjoyed the film. I thought Lupita did a great job.

[@joanvenice503]

Not true, I love drama and character development. Did you see the first 2 movies? There was complete silence, and I was on the edge of my seat with anticipation. The fact is this movie this movie is inferior to the first two, in its writing and direction.

It is DAY ONE but we see only a couple minutes of it! We should have seen humanity trying to defend itself and failing, we should have seen more of the creatures to understand them. Instead, we jump cut to the humans already knowing to be HUSH HUSH and surviving. It's a good movie but it didn't hit what i was hoping to see.

[@HollywoodERock]

Movie is a 4 out of 5, & personally my favorite of the franchise. I never watch trailers to prevent from going into a movie w/expectation baggage. It was easier for me to get behind the two protagonists in this new film vs the family in the previous two. I sometimes find it difficult to enjoy these movies when there is characters making to many dumb decisions. First two movies is well directed, & the overall concept makes for a suspenseful movie experience, but I didn’t enjoy the way the characters were written. Day One has solid directing better written protagonists, & depicting humans in a more uplifting viewpoint makes for a pleasant viewing experience. Usually movies like this showcase the worst of humanity. The movie biggest sin is the title. I don’t believe it was a good idea to call this Day One. Probably should have called it “New York”.

[@marciafierro4931]

Excellent movie 🎥

[@pc3productions957]

You describing a completely different movie. The whole point of a quiet place is a tight focus on a few human characters. You’re describing a big action summer film and that would not be a quiet place at all. If we focus on all that you wanted, we wouldn’t care about the people because it would just be unwarranted action but no connection. Just my opinion. Love your reviews.

[@The11Jade]

No quiet part should’ve happened in the 2nd part of the film. This movie should have had the most dialogue since it’s the beginning of the event

[@jonfreeman9682]

Well that's what the first two movies was about but we're hoping for more by the third movie. When it's called day 1 we kinda expect an invasion scenario as humans discover what these aliens are so it should be action packed.

100% Agree with you. Acting was good, but the rest was just meh

[@w.w.1348]

How can you do a movie about a large group of people getting slaughtered. Which characters would you relate to or care about? In what movie has that premise been pulled off? That would be a movie filled with a bunch of red shirts. Good questions, but it sounds like you want A Quiet Place Origin. This was a good movie! Very well acted with a very good character arc. We saw better creature shots and had a few jump scares. And I, for one don't understand why people think it's so hard to put together that the creatures are attracted to sound. You sit quietly, hiding from a creature, you hear a loud noise and see the creature react. Figuring out they can't see would be more difficult.

[@NdoubleN2]

Not a “large group” but Aliens had about 12 people that it focused on half of the film then 2-3 people towards the end. 2 for the most part in War of the Worlds but there were small to large groups showcased throughout the film. Battle: Los Angeles, The Faculty, Edge of Tomorrow. Those didn’t focus on “large groups” but not just 2 most of the movie.

[@w.w.1348]

@@NdoubleN2 Ok, but your example moves the goalpost. And, there are plenty of movies that don't take that approach.

[@NdoubleN2]

@@w.w.1348 SPOILERS!!! Just watched it. First 2 films were better. Kinda wished the military killed at least one of the creatures and dissected it. I mean it is the 3rd film. They should know more about the creatures by now. Also, even though it suppose to be day one, people were taking too many risks. That threw me off. Lastly, I didn’t like that she sacrificed herself at the end. If the writing for the next film isn’t as good as the first 2 and the creatures are still a mystery to the military I’m going to skip it. Overall I score it a 6.5/10

[@w.w.1348]

@@NdoubleN2 Ok, not sure why this is addressed to me. You're entitled to your thoughts about the movie. And with that, I can't be convinced that it wasn't a good film, nor can I say even with the thoughts you suggested, that in the hands of a poor director, that movie would be better.

[@rmill1279]

**Spoilers here** This movie was a huge letdown. There were certainly tense moments, when things were actually happening. The experience of watching this in a theater was better than the actual film; it was one of the most quiet theaters I've ever been in, people did not want to make noise, and when someone did emit sound it was a bit startling lol. However, the movie ended up being trash. In the first 2 flims, Emily Blunt was struggling to survive with children plus a newborn in tow, handling business with plenty of hero moments. Good stuff. In this prequel, Lupita Nyong'o's character is relegated to 'the help'. She gives food to a pair of random white kids that she comes across, then sacrifices herself in the end so that a white man who just won't leave her side can take himself and her [white] 'service cat' Frodo to safety on the evacuation boat. What was the point of the white dude going out and getting her some 'medicine' (drugs) to revive her, only for her to sacrifice herself in the end? Why didn't she just give him the cat and direct him to the boat, then just lay there and die when her 'meds' ran out? Didn't make sense to me. There were lulls in the action as well - for this to be happening in New York City, the slow parts was also a letdown. There's text in the beginning that the noise in NYC is the equivalent of a constant scream. I say, 'Ok, there's gonna be A LOT going on once the sound-sensitive aliens touch down. I can count on one hand the amount of action that happened, a lot of it unseen. There were many questions raised but never addressed or explained. How did Frodo the cat not meow one time in the whole movie with all that was going on? This was no doubt the worse of the series. I'm tired of seeing non-white characters de-fanged and rendered helpless in action films. For Lupita Nyong'o to be the lead in this film, only for her to wave the white flag in the end just ruined the whole experience for me personally. I really looked forward to this one, but this goes down as one of the biggest disappointments this year. I give it 2/10.

[@beverlym.collins351]

To film all more alien destruction would have been extremely expensive. Human interaction is important. I totally agree that it is not mentally healthy to show people sacrificing themselves for others. Bad programming! There is nothing noble about a decision to end one's life. That impulse should not be glorified in any form. It is reckless to show that being "in pain" justifies the notion.

[@gabrielzeros]

I am so confused why is it considered toxic for a character to be self sacrificing? I never heard of that opinion before?
