I did not enjoy this movie. One thing that bothered me was where did they get the electricity?
This is why I made the effort to see it in the theater.Cinco Ranch Aggie said:
Watching something like this in a theater has to be easier than at home with all kinds of distractions readily available.

What else bothered you?
I haven't given it much thought, but how do you plan on getting there? What are you taking with you? How do you plan to build a home once you arrive?91_Aggie said:

Don't know how anyone can be this negative towards this movie. It may have holes. It may be "similar" to signs, but it was, in my opinion, and in most others' opinion, extremely well done and fun. And I don't see how you miss the tension at parts.
It was a really good movie. Maybe not great, but really good

You didn't pay much attention if that is what you got from the movie. To be more clear, that's not an accurate description of what kills them.,91_Aggie said:
Yeah, we just saw it last night (wife and I) and it was pretty darned "meh"
don't see what the hype was.
No real suspense. And didn't get the "tenseness" everyone else keeps talking about.
Essentially it had a gimmick of hardly anyone talking, and was essentially Signs but instead of being killed by water, they are killed with high-pitched sound

Well, I know it was a shotgun blast to the head that actually killed them... but it was their "weakness".PatAg said:You didn't pay much attention if that is what you got from the movie. To be more clear, that's not an accurate description of what kills them.,91_Aggie said:

I think most of you saying it was "meh" were in it strictly for thrills and suspense and surprise and tension, etc. That's not the point of the movie. Its not a horror movie in the sense of "let's watch it to be scared!".
The tense, terror-fraught world was simply the setting for watching this family try to remain a family in dire circumstances. Trying to do "normal" things like play board games while also trying to trap food so you could survive. Trying to raise your children with love and laughter while under constant extreme stress. And ultimately, trying to literally bring the next generation into the world while being hunted.
The tender moments....the mom teaching the son math, the dad and son actually talking out loud and shouting under the waterfall, the dad sacrificing himself at the end....those were the point of the movie. If all you got out of it was, "yeah, well, I wasn't scared", then you were watching it for the wrong reason.

In the modern horror thriller A QUIET PLACE, a family of four must navigate their lives in silence after mysterious creatures that hunt by sound threaten their survival. If they hear you, they hunt you.
Quote:
Critics Consensus: A Quiet Place artfully plays on elemental fears with a ruthlessly intelligent creature feature that's as original as it is scary -- and establishes director John Krasinski as a rising talent.
Quote:
A Quiet Place premiered at South by Southwest on March 9, 2018, and was released in the United States on April 6, 2018, by Paramount Pictures. It became a major box office hit, grossing $331 million worldwide and received acclaim from critics, who praised its originality, atmosphere, as well as the acting and directing, calling it a "smart, wickedly frightening good time".
Quote:
IF THEY HEAR YOU, THEY HUNT YOU.
In this "mind-blowingly tense"* thriller, a family must navigate their lives in silence to avoid mysterious creatures that hunt by sound. Knowing that even the slightest whisper or footstep can bring death, Evelyn (Emily Blunt) and Lee (John Krasinski) are determined to find a way to protect their children at all costs while they desperately search for a way to fight back. Hailed by critics as "sensationally gripping"** and "heart-pounding"***

Hahaha, my God you're a touchy one aren't you. Quite the complex you have. I never said I was smarter than you, I simply said some of you were clearly watching strictly for the "thrills" and were missing/ignoring/not caring about the overall point.
And what does being an American have to do with my statement? Just curious. You clearly have some deep political issues.
I laughed.Sex Panther said:
91 is doing a pretty effective job as marketing himself as a ******bag
TCTTS said:
Can you explain how it was marketed as "horror," though? Both trailers seem to market the exact movie we got.
TCTTS said:
And?
"Scary" doesn't have to = "horror." Thrillers can be "scary." Dramas can be "scary."
it's called marketing. Do you similarly get upset when you click a 'you won't believe what this girl did' only to find out that yeah, you can believe it.free_mhayden said:
And don't get me wrong I thought it was a solid film, but seems like everything these days coming down the pipe is "game-changing!" and "innovative!" and "truly terrifying".
