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!!!

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

Joe Quinn was in Stranger Things. My guy Eddie!

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.

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

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❤

I haven’t seen the film but what I’m getting from the review is that it should have took a “Purge Anarchy” approach with focusing on different interconnecting Storylines

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

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.

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

Those aliens couldn’t get inside the project building's 😆

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 could tell Krasinski didn’t do the writing nor had a creative hand in it. BUT! I am a huge fan of the world and concept so…I enjoyed knowing they lay eggs and such

Great review

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

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.

Great point of review ❤

I was nodding off. I don't really like any of the Quiet Place movies.

Excellent movie 🎥

I enjoyed it, but your points are well made. There should have been more of an explanation for the alien invasion IMO. My favorite of the three was the very first one.

Please review the Supacell series. I think you’ll love it!

A Quite Place: Day One ❌ A Quite Place: How to handle cancer with service cat ✅

Trash I’m mad I wasted my money on Dbox seats!

This should’ve similar to world war z but they made an art film. I want my money back.

perfect review. It got so boring following Lupita, the guy, and the cat around while mostly nothing happened and not at all what the trailer implied.

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

It’s crazy how I can tell how the movie is just based on the thumbnail lmaoo 😂

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.

The 🐈 cat was the MVP of the movie 🍿🎥

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.

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.

Well maybe the next quiet place movie might take place with a different group of people and military or it might take place in another country.

The aliens carried the entire movie

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”.

The 1st and 2nd were suspenseful, scary with characters to care about. This 3rd one was crap. Missed opportunities.

Sounds like this is false advertising of movie. A bait and switch. That sucks. I'm going to see Horizon Western instead.

Bruh..it's called "Budget""😊

**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.

Speak on it Brandon!

once again a film show us 2 much of what we don't care about....n not enough for what we want to see.....like how did the military know they don't like water 🤔

Part 2 was awful just a lot of plot devices. I might wait to see this on streaming.

This movie was really bad. I was so disappointed. I wanted to walk out of the theatre. 😢

Is it scaredy cat approved?

You didn’t touch on the bait of Djimon. He’s barely in the film

Yeah she sacrificing herself. Was complete BS

This film was very good.

The trailer doesn't look good

Where the hell is the NYPD?! The home of 911 doesn’t have protocols?! Please… this wasn’t my city. Wack!

If you seent the first one, you seent this one. The End. 😅

Giving it a 6.5 is really generous 😂😂 I’m not saying it was trash but it was a missed opportunity to really flush this story out!

Bruh! This movie was straight TRASHHHH! Could have been so good! I liked the ending, tho. Good review!

this movie was TERRIBLE! not because of Lupita! her acting is great.. it’s just nothing else helped her out.. there was no explanation to anything 😂

Hello I agreed with your review so much and I responded to the ending of it the same way why do they have to write the character as a black woman sacrificing herself for this white man and it is all nothing but subliminal programming our Consciousness to perform to perform these acts. Unfortunately many people are not awareand go along. why does the black woman being sickly then give up her life, Programming !!!

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.

It was a snooze fest.

That go on mr white man I got cancer cough cough ill just live alone and maybe die here , yall save yall self and my cat smhh ain't like that That man could do everything bruh get the meds and save the cat not get kill by monster and just pop back up with the meds And that cat woulda been dead so much no cat is that quiet I aint like them parts I gave it a 2.5 outta 5

Joe Biden did terrible during the debate tonight. He kept slurring his words and lost his train of thought a few times.

Saw this yesterday , complete crap. The reaction of the audience in the cinema at the end was of pure wtf….just silence and then groans. Rubbish

A Black girl name Sam 🤦🏾‍♂️

Bro it sounds like you went into the movie with expectations and didn't get what you wanted. This was a great movie. You should watch it again.

This was one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen. A complete steaming pile of dog dung. To call it “A Quiet Place” was an insult to the franchise. The director needs to go back to directing school or whatever the F they call it 2/10

1/10 fr fr

It was a romantic horror movie with not enough action....👎🏾👎🏾

The movie was terrible. Not scary, bait and switch, boring

Thank god for cinemark. Im in los Angeles and that shit be cheap if u got a student id 😎

This movie was the cure for insomnia.
