A Quiet Place: Day One Full Movie Review

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.

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

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.

Brandon, thanks for this review. I had similar thoughts about the movie. I wanted to see the fight as well. At the end of the movie, I said once again we had to sacrifice ourselves to save others.

They pulled a "bait and switch" with the trailer 😡

The film didn't live up to the expectation of the 1st two films. Also, the cat was too much. I gave this film a 2 out of 5.

I agree with everything you said. WHY DID DAY ONE TURN INTO MULTIPLE DAYS?? They could have had multiple storylines all in one day. The actors gave good performances, but the movie was eh...

I loved this movie. Lupita and that british guy were great. I also loved the cat❤

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.

Aliens in New York City, so it’s a documentary🤣

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.

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.

That pisses me off too B! Why put it in the trailer and not the movie ?! Thanks for the honest review

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

Sounds like this is destined to be a streaming release within a month. I'll wait. Thanks for the heads up, Brandon!👍🏾

Joe Quinn was in Stranger Things. My guy Eddie!

Great review Sir; as usual. You make a good point about "Day One". Maybe there will a prequel to the prequel. A New Yorker would not sacrifice a sandwich for ANYBODY.

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.

Great review
