A Quiet Place: Day One Movie Review - A Worthy Prequel? 

The most unrealistic thing is how the cat acts.

Saw it Sunday night. 4 people 2 adult 2 teens decided to talk throughout a movie call Quiet Place. I guess even Nicole Kidman and the protagonist telling you to be quiet wasn't enough.

Be honest...Who'd die from ripping a loud ass fart at the worst time

I enjoyed the movie but it’s of course a mess for theatres cause you know movie goers can’t shut up 😂 legit someone was face timing someone during my screening… and another person took a phone call… Then left then yelled at the husband to come here from the side as the movie was going. I hate movie goers so much 😅

I’m gonna see this regardless. Lupita was so great in Us, she was really the lead.

If this actually happened the government would side with the aliens.

This is more like Day 1 part 2. As you said yourself we seen Day 1 in Suburbia so to see it again and yet another very personal story I felt let down and its just not Day 1. We seen that already. I kind of expected a more broad governmental or military overview of the situation, hoped for some more details the last thing I need is another Cloverfield.

I heard through the grapevine that the aliens came to this planet because they saw the acolyte & wanted to put an end to it.

I went to see this 8:30 pm Friday and it was just me in the theatre so I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with this one

I’m definitely one of those people that is not happy they didn’t answer any questions or expand on anything. All it did was change location and characters. It was a fine movie that I would never watch again

Watch' Indian BAHUBALI RRR by director SS RAJAMOULI bro...make review....Watch SS RAJAMOULI S other films like Magadheera , etc....SS RAJ MOULI films all r BLOCK BUSTERS....Not a single FLOP....One of rarest director track record....His father writes one line story SSR elaborate it on SCREEN PLAY using HUMAN EMOTIONS blended with action....His HERO always has SINGLE FOCUS of something.... After writing scripts he invites QUESTIONS from various people like a SMALL BOY till 80 year old men or women....They have to ask atleast 20 questions abt script....He answer it like student.... His script writing is unique....He gets asked nearly 700 questions...From small and micro details...After answered all 700 questions thrown at him and feel satisfied he answered them with proper logic SS RAJAMOULI goes to shooting...Such a meticulous DIRECTOR SSR is ..... That's y he is hailed by STEPHEN SPIELBERG and JAMES CAMAROON like legends

Ironically, one of the best moviegoing experiences I've had was watching the first film. Theatre was about 1/3 full, mostly adults and teens. Very little distractions, I could tell people were trying to eat their food as quietly as possible. Oh, and totally random thought I had while watching it: how the hell can they do home repairs? What if there's a leaky roof or something requiring a hammer or other tool?

I was disappointed by the movie. Lots of dark sequences, slow, boring, and no real tension or horror about the aliens (unlike in the first movie). For those who haven’t seen the first two movies, it’s never properly established or explained that the aliens can’t see but have really sensitive hearing - it’s just taken for granted. And the cat surviving and hardly making any noise at all is unrealistic.

One of the worst movies I’ve ever seen. Cat would normally have gotten everyone killed. Lame characters. Boring boring boring

I agree with you Adam. It was a decent movie but NOT as good as the 1st two installments. The 2nd movie is my favorite but I do wish they could expound on the Aliens' a bit more. I also missed having the Abbotts. I've grown to love them sssooo...

My main complaint is the actual monsters are starting to get boring and uninteresting since we've seen them so much. If they make a part 3, which they are cause I'm pretty sure this ones doing really sell, they'll need to expand on them some more or maybe add in a new monster. Movie was good, just not as good as the other 2.

I found this movie very boring.. Saw it in theaters recently

I liked the movie, but I do agree with you in certain areas where it’s just like. Nothing is really going on nothings really happening. Why are we continuing with this scene? The movie was an hour and 40 minutes and if it was an hour and 15, it probably would’ve been smoother.

I LIKE all your videos, because I want to support your channel, but I didn't watch the whole thing, because I just have no interest in this film🤪

A 3rd Quiet Place movie. Can you believe it!?

I don't see how this is a prequel.. I saw it more as another story that was being told during the invasion. I feel like for a prequel we have to discover something new or why they are here. I loved the movie but I just saw it as a another story being told rather than a prequel.

Gonna catch this with my girlfriend this week. Really loved the last one!

I wish you had more theater options. What city are you in in South Carolina? I loved the cat. He was cool. I wish the people hadn't figured it out about the noise while Lupita was asleep. She wakes up and all of a sudden everyone knows to be quiet.

I hate to go, since I enjoy the content that I have watched, but goodbye, Adam, and good luck.

Its not just you the screen was pretty dark were I watched it too. There were some scenes I was struggling to figure out what was going on.

Sam & Frodo, must have been a coincidence...

I hated the movie, everytime something that I wanted to see happened the camera either blurred or they put that incredibly annoying grey smoke effect

I just got out of it. when stuff happens, the audio mix was INSANELY loud at regal

Spot on review. For me, second best movie to Civil War, for the year so far. That short runtime is so appreciated with the Quiet Place trilogy. And you ARE correct that it's your theater failing you, not the cinematography. Everything was clear to see in IMAX. You actually hit upon one of the reasons I'm willing to pay more for a premium screen like IMAX, Screen X and Dolby Cinema: Those vendors have STANDARDS which the theaters have to follow on when to replace bulbs, etc. Many years ago, Cinemark XD was my 'go-to' for the theatrical experience, but then 3D came about (which I still love) and that's when it became readily apparent that many 'normal' cinemas (EVEN Cinemark XD) try to squeak out a few hundred extra shows from those expensive dying bulbs. .... But that problem doesn't exist with (especially) IMAX. I've never been to an IMAX (even LieMAX) showing where I thought "That's kinda' hard to see."

You are making a good case for investing in a nice OLED and 4k player. Honestly though I almost never go to the theater. Watching at home has become far superior 90% of the time.

the premise sounds stupid not simple

I thought it was better,just straight action

I love that the aliens are hanging out at the pier singing “O-Ee-Yah! Eoh-Ah!” and making sure humans don’t get on boats. Haha

To the viewers who continue to declare that Sam really desired pizza in her last days... 😬 lol It was CLEARLY NOT about "just wanting pizza" but actually - the Memories of her father who she'd mentioned used to take her there. In fact, It was their spot. This was further emphasized at the very end when she went BACK after she'd gotten Eric safely to the boat. She's seated in the burned pizzeria holding a photo of she and her dad, when she was a little girl, in that very restaurant. Her relationship with her father was obviously very special to her and she must've wanted to honor &/or feel Connected the beauty of that relationship before her passing. This isn't a difficult concept to grasp, people. ;)

I loved it. The cat is the most over the top calm guy ever. Aliens? Nope. Being underwater? Nope. Acted like nothing bothered him.

I didn't like 2 but loved this. Watching it in 4dx helped though. I'm bias haha. Might be my favorite one

This is the placiest film I’ve ever seen

Absolutely no reason for this movie to be made... a prequel without an origin story you mentioned Cloverfield but that was just one movie... this is the third movie without explaining anything about the aliens and yes the picture quality sucked it was drab and the story was more of the same.. we've already seen it... what a waste of time.

It was sooooo Boring , and this Cat ? Next time maybe have a Roaring Lion ? WTF ....

They didn't show how military or the government failed to stop these aliens or how they come to know that they can't swim etc. I wanted to see an apocalyptic movie where everything is going down since it was first day and people didn't know anything about these aliens

It was a good entry but not the great one people seem to expect. For one thing .. we already saw Day One. It would have been better to go into what the heck these things want and how they ended up here.

I guess the movie was fine, but if it isn't giving us any more information, why does it need to exist?

I’m watching this for the cats

😻

Just saw it, and I honestly love it. I thought the characters are compelling while also giving me tons of jump scares.

So there is No explanation for why the Aliens came? Just running and screaming. It's called Day One like an origin, what a pointless reason to make an origin movie if you don't have a story. I'll pass.

It’s good but it’s a I don’t think I’d ever watch this again

Not sure if this was a movie review or an attempt at standup, but it was distracting. I did appreciate your perspective and contrast between the movies. I dont think it sounds intriguing enough to watch unless I need a popcorn flick because movies that swap to another locaton but keep the same movie premise is only going to go so far when the main movie niche is basic and silence. The idea where most the energy happens in the movie is dialogue of emotions between individuals is even worse. Like a slice of life version of the original.

Lol.... Weed out the riff raff, __Adam u funny

This was f-ing terrible. And i loved the first 2.

The cast being cringy and the cat killed me 😑🐸

7:15 time stamp - 😂 My friend you have a natural gift for observational comedy. You brought a lucid, vivid picture of things at a movie theater that you SHOULD be upset with....but you said it with a SMILE on your face. Almost to say, "I enjoy how clueless these people are as I attempt to enjoy a film." I'm going to see the movie tomorrow. You should try stand up or comedy writing for TV.

I didn’t love it as much as Part 1 or 2 but as a survival thriller with aliens, I really enjoyed my time. The characters were enjoyable and Lupita Nyong’o and Joseph Quinn were excellent together.

2:40 most of the blood on the floor in that scene was blurred out. I'm guessing because of 9/11

Everytime I watch a review and hear New York City I automatically hear the reponse from the Pace commercial smh 😆

I just didn’t care about a terminal cancer patient obsessed with getting pizza. We have bigger things to worry about here. Wish they followed the guy from Gladiator and his young son instead.

I like in the opening how they explain that New York decibel level is so high it's like a constant scream. I enjoyed Day One I think it delivered all the suspense and thrills of the previous films. I do remember in the second movie the family discovered a way to use sound frequency to defeat the aliens. I wonder why the film makers didn't capitalize on that. This was a fun prequel though can't wait to see it again.

What a bore fest

❤I loved it !! It's rare to cry during an intense movie because of love and humanity and once again another perfect movie in this trilogy and hopefully a Quiet Place Day One #4 will come ...any news on that ?? The cat was cool. The lead male was awesome- it was great to see a male in a thriller have anxiety when usually they portray the woman freaking out . I am very excited for my home town theater to show this our humongous theater screen and they focus, color and crank up the sound to enhance the already well written movie (including John Krasinski as a writer). I'ev been waiting for this to come out and my only issue was that it should have came out sooner.

The movie theatre I went and saw it looked pretty good, not too dark. But it was a very fancy theatre, lol. Also, I had a hard time opening my candy boxes during the quiet parts 😅

I enjoy this franchise quite a bit but the logical inconsistencies are quite ridiculous. Remember how in the first film the main characters had to walk barefoot over sand? Now we have throngs of people walking on cement and all is good. I'll give them this. The sound design really helps sell us on the premise and deserves a lot of credit. Very rarely did I notice this inconsistency throughout the franchise even when the characters were running.

My suggestion for a part three make it an actual follow up to part two and evolve the alien design. Still keep the design, but evolve it. Since the aliens have been here for years, it would be cool to see them go through a metamorphosis like the xenomorph.

Screen was really dark where we saw it too

i was so sad when the boat sank there was definitely enough room for john

Adam, did you see it in IMAX at Regal?

if these aliens cant see, then how did they build the spaceships?

You had me at "placer"!!! :D

An off topic question but are u going to watch and review Kinds of Kindness? I just watched it recently and I thought it was amazing

A girl in search of a slice of pizza wow same thing same thing & lesser of the same thing boring unexciting but it is the BEST MOVIE to put on to help u sleep 👋 😴💤 sleepy time!

Mediocre at best

great review Adamski

This movie was an absolute major letdown. Boring, dull, horrible writing, stupid story, of all the things this movie could have done they picked this? Horrible. The guy was super annoying. I literally fell asleep 5 times in the middle

I found the movie so boring. It doesn’t seem intense for me. The only part I like is the last part that made me touched. They should’ve focus on different characters. The guy who got on the ship and appeared in the sequel should have its own scenes. I think it will be really cool how that guy survived and got the ship. I feel like the amount of money they have doesn’t allow the crew to make more good scenes.

Bro don't waste your time sleep time
