So last night I went and saw the movie A Quiet Place, and it wasn't that bad.
So the plot of this movie is that we are invaded by blind aliens and we must stay quiet or else they will hear us and kill us. So the film follows a family that is just trying to survive through this, while most of society has collapsed, there are a few pockets of people left.
It sounds interesting and stupid at the same time, and while there are some really stupid moments in this film, there are also really great ones too.
So the movie is directed, and starring John Kransinski, as the father of the family. John's character is probably the best in the film, and you get the most sense of realism from him. I always think it's impressive if you can pull off starring and directing a movie.
The family communicate by using sign language, and the film does something really smart with it. Since their daughter was deaf before the aliens came, the family knew sign language beforehand. Also it turns out that the daughter, played by Millicent Simmonds, is deaf in real life. So we get a better portrayal of what the communication would actually be like in that scenario.
There are some dumb decisions made by the family in this movie. For example they have a baby in an apocalypse where you need to remain quiet. Also there's a scene involving a nail that catches onto some laundry, and the laundry forces the nail into an up right position that will... hurt... later on which could have easily been prevented by the mother.
Overall though, this isn't a bad movie and I think that I would recommend going to see this one. It's worth seeing at least once.
final score: 3.5/5
