My favorite scene was everyone knowing to be quiet, but still deciding to be clumped up heading to the docks, all the tiny, quiet noises they didnt notice they were making being mixed together to attract the aliens Humanity has been programmed from the beginning that groups=safety, and to see that be a hinderance was awesome to witness
I got one question I wana hear thoughts. Why did the military when they were going around in helicopters not think to play loud music and head in the opposite direction to the large crowd? Wouldn’t it attract all of the aliens away for a clear path?
good to know I'm not weird. I too really thought a major issue they'd have to explore was people finding out they have to be quiet. Can't believe they skipped it.
Did neither of you actually watch this movie or the beginning of two? They learn pretty quickly that they have to stay quiet, or else they die, what else is there to that? Did you expect to see the main characters screaming their heads off while being miraculously saved by plot armor, until they figured out to shut up?
It is set during a literal attack on the city. People caught early would die, obvs. People who _witnessed_ those initial attacks would die. People who were a biiiit further away and were able to flee......but who would still make noise would die. The only folk who survived the first few hours/day would be the folk who were already somewhere safe i.e. an appartment and who had been far enough away/lucky enough to get away from the initial attacks. I'd wager that all those survivors would, then, be hunkered down pretty quietly, at least for a while.
think cause it was such a easy thing to learn. Wnenever a sound was made the monsters would flock to that one sound. person, car, helicopter, boat, etc. Also the military was probably figuring shit out behind the scenes since they were the ones repeating the warning.
true, I was waiting to see the learning curve. and why didnt any other human tell the girl that she is heading the wrong way when she was walking opposite to the crowd?
I've heard the cat referred to as a Chad. I'm assuming this is a reference to the SNL character being so nonchalant about everything? Or was the Chad character in SNL based on something else?
Imagine the military just putting on the loudspeaker at Yankee Stadium, letting all the monsters get there and then dropping a bomb and the movie ends in six minutes. 🤯
Even when the first movie came out..I had kinda wondered why someone hadn't rigged a mine field or some kind of proximity based bomb, and then just set off loud noises to attract the aliens to those traps.
This wouldn't kill them, these aliens survived orbital entry and the explosive force of a meteor impacting the ground. In the first movie there are newspapers in the farm house basement that reads “Not bullets, not bombs! Armor is impenetrable”. The most common bombs, and any explosive device like mines or tank rounds wouldn't do anything
@@josiahsuarez5415 Exactly what I said to my father who also suggested the same thing. These are creatures that survived the initial burn from entering our orbit and the explosive impact of hitting the ground. We only discovered their weakness in Part 2, so all kinds of artillery at the beginning would have been useless except for water.
@@josiahsuarez5415 They can survive blunt impacts because of their armor, yes. But like we saw in 1 & 2, their armor opens up after hearing loud frequencies. If the bomb were to drop while their armor was open, it has potential to kill them.
@@ryatt1 That's true but as we see they rarely expose their internals when threats are around, especially when hunting in frenzy mode and right off the bat of the invasion nobody knew that was one of their weaknesses. The initial concept of the plan doesn't work unless you knew that weakness beforehand and even then would be incredibly hard to pull off.
@@NixLotus Yep! Resident Evil 1,2,3, 7 and 8, the best parts are the setup. The Walking Dead has a particularly great first episode. TLOU, as a video game has a great setup that pretty much carries the entire game until the great ending as well. There's many, may others that also fit the bill...
I’m here laughing at everyone who gave the first teaser all the hype and praise.. I knew it was going to be a recycled plot when an unknown director was attached.
"The day that everyone learned that to survive you gotta shut up! More people should learn that in life but hey sometimes it takes an apocalypse." - Jeremy Jahns (2024)
A huge dog once ran into the house, and my little idiot went to her spot near the ceiling and watched in silence. Not even a purr left her. She would kill it in that world. Her name was Ghost because of this. Rest her soul.
I was expecting info on the aliens. Why are they here, are they sentient or just monsters. And something from NASA/the military fighting them. Nothing. Very slow and disappointing.
well if you watched the trailers you would know none of that was even in there, so nothing about the movie was dissapointing, you made your own assumptions based on the title and not the fact that the movie follows one main characters experience on what happened.
This film was definitely a wasted opportunity to explore the beginning of the invasion. Id imagine it would take quite some time for people to figure out that they needed to be quiet in order to survive, and this could result in some pretty terrifying sequences as most peoples' initial reactions would be to panic, scream, run, and make noise. Imagine a scene in Madison Square Garden at a concert or sporting event in which the aliens entered the venue. You think people would be quiet as they rushed for the exits? And even if someone did somehow figure out that the aliens couldnt see and hunted through sound, how would they reliably and efficiently communicate this to a large group of scared, panicking, confused, boneheaded, and stubborn New Yorkers and/or Tourists who didnt all speak the same language? I thought depicting this mass panic and inevitable confusion was the reason they chose to set the film in a bustling city like NY, which is infamous for being constantly noisy. But as Jeremy said, Sam gets knocked out literally at the beginning of the invasion and wakes up in a shelter with everyone knowing to be quiet. How did they learn and organize so quickly? She couldn't have been knocked out for more than a day since the title implies that the film takes place in a 24 hour period. So the film deliberately skips the initial learning curve almost entirely and therefore misses out on what could've made the movie intriguing in a unique way that the first two weren't.
Personally that was my favorite part of the movie. Finally we have a horror movie where people aren't complete retards. It's something that would be learnt pretty quickly. SPOILERS The only time where people were stupid in this movie was the mass exodus scene where all the idiots grouped up to die. Which is something that you say you wanted in the movie. Did you even watch it, or did you skip that part? People went running and screaming as soon as a single alien dropped.
I agree. I've already seen people attempt to survive while staying quite I wanted to see people attempt to survive while having no idea what's going on
@@radrobd123 I’m pretty sure she knew the pizza place wouldn’t be open, but it being open wasn’t the point. It was about revisiting a place that she had fond memories of before she inevitably dies. I think that the fact that it was burnt down by the time she got there means that everything she wanted to reminisce over is gone. That’s why she was devastated. Not over pizza, but over the restaurant itself being destroyed.
Unpopular opinion, this movie was a story of two strangers slowly coming together, through a journey and act of unconditional love, under the disguise of a horror movie.
it was rushed and the development pacing was bad,the dynamic couldve been good but it didnt feel organic at all the arc ended right when it started to begin.
It felt like a cancer patient’s survival story rather than an Alien invasion story! And following just that 1 character arc throughout made this film very dull! They really should have gone with multiple characters storyline .. it is day one, so it would have been brilliant to show how several sets of people deal with this .. like a family with kids .. one with a little baby (which would have been really something) and then one with a mean person trying to prioritise his/her survival over others, maybe also a group of teens who have seen a lot of such kind of situations in pop culture... they could have had soo much fun with day one .. instead we get just one, very sad story arc!
@@whatsdownisupwhatsupisdown4115 mine's relatively quiet, but put something unknown in front of her and she hisses and growls. Though not so much people, so maybe not aliens
yeah, the film was a disgrace. That ending was horrendous. There was no stakes, you never feel connected to the characters, it really is a shame. I expected so much more.
@@r.e.d.podcastingwould strongly disagree thought the movie was excellent. Acting was incredible and was the story. Great choice to see the events unfold in a busy city as opposed to the quieter suburbs…
A quiet place was still my best cinema experience. Small screen, not many people, everyone stayed quiet. People didn’t even eat whatever food they bought. Buckets of popcorn ware still full by the time credits rolled, Nachos ware untouched. You could have heard a pin drop in that screening.
I was lucky yesterday with my showing. Very early on into the movie people realized their rustling through food packaging was too loud and everyone remained absolutely dead silent the rest of the way
@@Chibbykins I agree. Its also becoming less true as the rest of the world catches up to us in obesity rates. I read the other day that the US isn't even #1 anymore which is kind of wild
That’s disappointing to hear about them not showing the learning to stay quiet. Especially with the first movie showing New York news papers saying to be quiet it’s noise. Still at least it sounds to be as good a time ad the predecessors.
It's kind of instinct, to be stealthy, one must be quiet. I'm sure they saw people getting whisked away who were yelling at others like that lady yelling, "JONATHAN!"😂
They could've done so much more with this movie imo. the script was super weak. The constant talk of pizza, love angle between strangers and the cat being one of the main characters just deflated me and took me out of it. It felt like they were trying super hard to push this movie to be centered around mental health and a forced romance movie. A quite place 1 was more then likley the peak of this franchise. Each movie drops in quality. The 2nd movie was decent, id watch that before i ever watch day one again.
Yea hate they skipped over how they figured to be quiet. She gets knocked out and boom..she wakes up and being told to shhh. Also the part where Joesph Quinn character went to get the cat with all the Monsters right there. Like how did he get back to the church holding that cat, medicine, and you had to climb down that little later. Like come on, let’s not just skip over main things 🤦🏾♂️
it was a beautiful movie, i couldn’t get over how a LOT of scenes were so emotional and really let the audience feel it, great directing (even tho we didn’t get to see some parts like the learning curve) it was beautiful.
@@Slow.550 there were no emotional parts. it was cliche most of the time. and how the guy follows the girl is not logical. how the girl smashes the car windows and the creatures cannot get to her? so lame.
@@myp0hi think one of the most confusing parts for me was the helicopters drawing the aliens to the safe zone. & that Quiet Place day one was really Quiet place day one for 3 minutes
Cats are predators and very stealthy when they need to be. Not like a Dog who will bark at anything or anyone. Cats are not loud animals typically. They do meow and hiss, but having had both Cats and Dogs my whole life, this wasn't at all out of the realm of believability for me. The Cat is hiding based on insinct and survival. Absolutely works
@@Ashbrash1998 ok, I don't think I need to edited it before. But since you asked, it should be unknown but also dangerous (at least for the cat; like bigger animal). And now they met an aliens... You think they would calm facing big weird dangerous monster like that? Even unfamiliat big dog make them freak out.
I don't know but the cat not meowing a single time due to stress throughout the whole movie is kind of a plothole..cats obviously meow and hiss during stressful situations
If they don't even cover how they discovered the primary plot point of the first movie, then it's just a rewrite of the first movie. There's nothing new being added.
I saw it last night. They call it “day one” in name but give you exactly what A quiet place 2 is. The thing you want, is exactly what Jeremy says they gloss right over. Bad? No. But nothing new
"The day that everyone learned that to survive you gotta shut up! More people should learn that in life but hey sometimes it takes an apocalypse." - Jeremy Jahns (2024)
honestly it's a huge lesson that many struggle to learn especially these days. People want to argue and bicker over every little thing and record interactions when 9/10 the best way to deal with a karen is to literally ignore them, it pisses them off even more.
I know I’m late to this but I just saw this movie yesterday. There were many things that I was hoping would get answered in this movie that the previous two had left open. But about 3/5 of the way through it hit me. These movies are not about aliens. They are about the human condition. This installment in particular was a drama about life and regret disguised as a horror movie. That’s it. This franchise is not horror. At all. It’s about being human. And I finally get it now.
Plenty people were screaming and getting killed, like the one lady yelling jonathan that got whisked away, so yes they did show the learning curve but quickly because people who werent quiet u could see get attacked. Characters were also slowly figuring out what sounds attracted the monsters and which didnt.
Fun fact. I got in a fist fight during the first movie because the guy sitting next to me was drunk and wouldn't be quiet, so I told him to quiet down, and it went sideways from there.
They can't show a "learning curve" in a monster movie like this because it's PG-13 and what you (and I) want to see is basically just people dying to these aliens for 5-10 minutes straight until they realize silence is the key. That would be a rated R movie so we aren't getting that.
I would've loved if they did some more on the military logistical side of things. Like military leaders trying to organize, communicate with other nations around the world. Bases being overrun, carriers just off the coast. Them trying to figure out what resources they have left and how long they will last, how they will get more. A count of how many countries have been overrun / estimated dead / estimated creatures. Hope seeming high the first week, but gradually dwindling as resources dwindle, military becoming less confident. Honestly, that would be a great book.
I have a confession. I have been watching your channel for like 5 years now and at the end of almost every episode I say "butts" after you say "see more." It gets me every time
This movie was terrible, absolute TRASH. Do not waste your money on this one, it's nothing like the original. There's so much wrong with this movie that I don’t even know where to begin. The main issue is the writing, it SUCKS, I mean why wouldn’t they explore the alien side of things, like what are they, where do they come from, and how were they able to overwhelm the most powerful military on the planet??? Nope, instead we got a movie about a cat and some pizza...GTFOH, horrible choices for actors as well, they made the guy into a whiny, crybaby while the woman was the strong, empowered hero! Collectively, we’re all sick of that! One last thing, New Yorkers are armed up to the teeth, people would not be hiding like cowards while their loved ones, friends and neighbors are getting slaughtered, we would have fought back with everything we got, that's the movie I wanted to see, how we fight back and still loose! This was one of the worse movies I have ever seen...HOT GARBAGE!
All they needed was one scene, just one where the main character is with a small group of people rushing to get help from some police, or military and nearly everyone is unalived because they're screaming in terror as they run. except her and that's when she realizes the secret. Have it the police officers sees it too, and they die in a dramatic fashion trying to get the message over the CB radio. Slow motion, great music, horrified expression on the heroine's face.... Just one scene.....
Sorry but that literally happens? Just after the bus gets blasted and she’s out in the smoke. People are screaming and getting killed and she doesn’t say anything and survives
@@latenightcoffeeshop7112their point was that the main character should have had a purpose; that purpose being that they were the one who discovered how the aliens hunt and then they end up dying in their sacrifice to let everyone know. Not a prolonged quest to get days-old pizza lol
@@latenightcoffeeshop7112only be sorry that you're wrong :). She got knocked out within the first 2 mins of the aliens arriving. She then went through an entire 2 seperate scenes before going back out into the fog with everybody else. It was a fine film. But nothing original enough to make it stand out. Was just people staying quiet until they were safe. Which has been almost every other movie.
I think Krasinskis`s character hid and kept others quiet, not because he knew that was the way to survive these blind monsters, but just because it was his instinct to be as quiet as possible while hiding so as not to attract their attention. He has this constant awareness and survival instinct. When the first metorite came down, he was the first to gather his family and start moving to safety, and not panicking while doing so.
What do you mean? You have a clear choice: incompetent, geriatric multimillionaire A,or incompetent, geriatric, multimillionaire B. The contrast could not be more stark
Even with the problems of the two candidates one of them is still better than the other.....one wants to be a damn dictator and looks up to Hitler, thats a damn horror movie in itself.
I thought it was cringe how every single time "pizza" is mentioned there is like a ten second pause for anticipated laughter. dito on any time the cat did anything. Also I find it amazing how they do all that work to make a completely photo real cgi cat, but then decide to animate it in a way completely devoid of all surrounding context, thus completely breaking the immersion.
This actor who also played in Stranger Things 4 would be great if Marvel casted him as Iron Man from alternate universe. This movie is so great that this is where my mind drifted between dialog scenes...
My wife and I were in the test audience for this about a year ago and it was rough. I'm interested in watching it again to see if there were improvements.
@@alexashe same. Probably wait for streaming. Since they pushed the release waaay back, i’ll assume they reshot a lot. I can say that i remember my response was “this is the Gen Z version of the apocalypse”. And what I mean by that is there was no sense of urgency or desperation. It was folks just chill-ly eating pizza and talking about how their dads wouldn’t accept they were gay. It was beautifully shot, though.
I didnt understand why Sam was so reluctant to go to Manhattan at the beginning of the movie when later in the story it was revealed that she lived there when they went to her apartment... This part confused me.
Bruh after the dude finds the nest, I knocked out and woke up with the dude getting on ship. Friends said I didn’t miss anything. It was so boring. Sucks for the people that watch this first before 1 & 2
I can’t watch any movie where the cat’s in danger. Tell me please. Is anything bad happening to the cat in the movie? Otherwise I won’t be able to watch it.
I hated this movie so much. So stupid. She's so ill that she's in a hospice but she survives a car falling on her and a drowning will all the ppl in good health are dying from less injuries. Worst movie of the 2020s so far.
Most disappointing prequel, i thought they will reveal as to Where they came from? And Why they came here? Also How are these Aliens blind yet able to jump from one building to another?? Why do these Alien attack noise but doesn't eat any flesh except some unrecognizable gue
Spoilers ahead. I think the first two are amazing, so I was really looking forward to this. However, this one was a massive disappointment. I think the driving force behind part 3 would be to get answers to the aliens' arrival. I mean, we've seen burning stuff in the sky, but what is it. Like my friend said before, seeing how the creatures are, it doesn't feel believable that that they pilot space ships, so how did they arrive on Earth? Well, as I see it, we still don't know. There was a scene with something that I think were eggs, but then the creatures ate them... I think. So I don't know what the hell that was. And I think we see a big creature, a king, or queen , or a mother for a few seconds... but that was it...? Weird. The characters are stupid and forgetful. The man decides to risk his life by going out in the city alone to get some medicine for the woman who's already dying and have decided to die already so why make that extremely stupid decision?! The only one I cheered for throughout the entire story was Frodo, the cat. He's magical by the way. And even though you think you're probably about to die, I don't find it believable that you're last mission in life is to get some 2 day old pizza. Also, not a single scene with the creatures is rememberable. And putting Djimon's character in the story (who was in Part 2) was stupid and borders on false marketing. Honestly, I just wanted the movie to end. It's sad because I was really looking forward to this movie. And it's been a long time since I had this bad of a experience at the movies. Well, you can't like everything. It is what it is.
Rotten Tomatoes has this at 87 fresh (lol). Complete trash can of a movie. Lead wants a slice of pizza the whole movie and Eric (Eddie 😊) cry’s in every scene. Pass
And the guy pulls out a perfectly dry, easily unfoldable, readable piece of paper from his pocket. Had jumped off the dock, fully submerged and dog paddled to the boat. Cat was ridiculously acted. Movie was very meh.
Sounds like a good movie to rent or watch online! Thanks man. If I was going to go to the theater to see this I definitely would have wanted it to break new ground or cover those things you mentioned!
