A Quiet Place 4K UHD (2018)

[Dreamliner330]

I wanted to like this movie but just couldn’t. Too many plot holes and the first half was just boring.

[Show spoiler]Why not just take the batteries out and let the kid have the toy? Why not let the daughter go in the basement? And on and on...

I will say, the last 30 minutes was pretty good.

First hour: 5/10
Last 30 min: 7.5/10

Those arent even plot holes

Yeah they are. Also:

[Show spoiler]Why not just live by the river? Why not always carry guns if they can kill the monsters? Why not live in the basement? Why not put speakers far away to be triggered from the house instead of fireworks in the middle of the field to distract the monsters. Where did the power come from? Nails don’t point up...and on and on. Probably the biggest one: why have a baby?

[Leonidas King]

[Show spoiler]1. How the f*ck are they going to live by the river when they already had an established home? Making a new home by the river/waterfall was just asking to get you killed by all the labor that is required to construct a home.

2. The guns were only used in case of drastic emergencies. It be a dumb idea to go out in the open and start blasting these creatures.

3. They used the basement as refuge which made sense. They could easily still move around in the house without making a single noise.

4. The speakers idea is just stupid.

5. They were using solar power.

6. They had a baby because it’s human instinct and human nature. They were basically forced to adapt and live in such conditions and things in that nature are inevitable. Also, from a character standpoint they wanted another baby to replace the one they lost early in the film.

In conclusion, those weren’t plot holes. Just logic.

[Show spoiler]So why not let the daughter go in the basement and let her think Dad hates her?

Can you really trust a child that young with a toy even if you take the batteries out? He can also easily drop it and cause noise. Not sure about why he didn't let his daughter in the basement. Perhaps it was his workspace and he didn't want her to fidget around with his stuff and his research. Ask John Krasinski about that one.

It just wasn’t for me. As I said, the last 30 was great but the first hour was really slow. Slow is fine but it makes the problems stick out more. I was just too bored for the first hour to watch it again.

Nothing wrong with that. No movie is perfect, and even the greatest movie of all time will also have people who weren't a fan of it.

Has anyone have the Lip Sync problem at time 58:27 like the reviewer

This is one world (in movie-land that is) that a common cold would prove deadly every time! They found a cure for the common cold alright!

[BluRayHiDef]

[Show spoiler]Was anyone else grossed out by the design of the monsters? The division of their faces into movable and openable sections that exposed the underlying soft tissue grossed and creeped me out.

[Show spoiler]It's explained in the movie that the creatures have armor that bullets and other weapons can't penetrate. It's only discovered at the end that the feedback sound causes the armor to move and they can shoot the creature underneath. Once Emily Blunt's character sees that, she's ready to kick some ass!

Lol yeah, quite obvious. That's just like saying why didn't the US army just shoot and kill all the creatures, its obvious everything had failed up to that point.

Signs is one of my absolute favourite movies, so thems are some big words..

UK UHD pre-ordered!

[MonolithicErik]

Saw it this past weekend. Definitely reminded me of Signs which I loved. It was good. Would I ever watch it again? No. That is my test for a film. I have a problem with mindless faceless aliens that just kill with no explanation.

[DJR662]

That's three times someone has mentioned Signs by way of comparison. This movie must be good!

I can see some comparison to Signs, especially unknown creatures and the countryside with cornfields lol. Hope you aren't too disappointed if it doesn't resonate with you that much.

I didn't like Signs much at all. Haven't seen Quiet Place yet
