Oh my what a film a quiet place was it was quite different to what I believe is an alien invasion type films. More attack dogs were unleashed upon earth and they were killer. Able to climb, run fast, sharp claw and one heck of an ugly face with a lot of teeth!
Their down fall was that they were blind but it was compensated by super powerful hearing, I'd say it was like sonar but their hearing worked in reverse. They needed something to make the sound. Which doesn't really work if you think about it as sound travels slowly and you would have a hell of a lot of time to side step one if it was real.
They were also over compensated with armour, their skin was impenetrable which made them invulnerable, another gaf because we have armous piercing rounds and well these things called bombs. Also, doesn't really matter how strong an animals skin is getting hit with a projectile at high speeds is going to hurt, but they didn't even flinch!
Either way, for all their gafs switching off and just watching the movie was really powerful and I think what the film lacked in actual logic it made up for in emotional hits. Like beau the youngest son who activates a toy rocket and is killed by one of the aliens called death angels. That scene left me broke as a dad, was really powerful. I was scratching my head though, because if it's the rockets sound that attracted the death angel surely you'd just throw the toy and the alien would chase it?
The ending was pretty intense to, daddy dies saving his kids kinda sucked that his daughter figures out a way to kill them but it's too late. High frequency sounds and they open their heads.
That also made no sense, like surely a beast with super sonic hearing would 100% be deafened by loud sounds. That's just common sense. You could literally live with these things all around you so long as you kept blowing a dog whistle. They'd hate it.
But alas it made for an epic film and right after this film Sandra Bullock dropped her film which was a hard selection of what to pick that's better.
Both great films.
Either way, I can't wait for a quiet place 2 to hit cinema's and trailer is out which seems to show a before the attack so we will get a bit more back ground and a continuation of the story.
All we know is that we have a pissed off bad ass wife and daughter whom are after revenge because their dad has been offed by one.
This is going to be quite an interesting follow up film and it leaves lots to be explored.
What are your thoughts? Are you looking forward to seeing A Quiet Place 2?
