I love what you’re saying. Honestly NOW what I want is the military perspective . We get an in depth feel of the on ground , in air or in sea look of the military during this invasion. IN NYC, or anywhere else in America showing us things and answering questions. I think this would be amazing
@@FallenKnight2244 I mean imagine with the amount of funding they got , the movie cld get so much more action packed then what we’ve experienced in different ways
@@GamingandFrightened they did NOT, they skipped over everything we wanted to see, mass slaughter, characters coming to the realization that they must remain quiet, the military’s reaction to the species etc
Hey Austin, saw the movie last night and while I was watching it for the first half I definitely was comparing lupita nyongo’s character to the family, but then I thought about it differently and it made the movie much more emotionally resonant. The main character of this movie does not want to survive and will not survive, what she wants is to feel connected to her home and her family again before she dies. I found that super fresh and emotional because any character that wanted to survive it would’ve been too similar to the family from the first two. Interested what your thoughts are on this take.
Absolutely agree, I think in the beginning she hates her finite mortality, who wouldn’t? And given everything she is going through, she wants to feel close to what her life used to be and who she was. Through the journey we see her reconnecting with herself despite the chaos around her, ultimately coming to terms with her mortality. I felt the heavy emotions right from the start, but I was moved to tears by the end!
I must have seen a different movie because I thought it was excellent. Really strong chemistry between the two leads. Really intense moments and a wonderful story. Probably my fav of the series
The downtime in the movie was so much less entertaining than in the first two. The two main characters are just wandering around. Then they brought in a huge variant and wasted it.
What bothered me was if the military figured out they're attracted by noise why didn't they continue to give directions over the loudspeaker on the helicopter to leur the creatures away from where the people were being directed towards? Or set up repeating noise in a stadium to draw the creatures in to them shoot or bomb them. Also, why did they show us the creatures nest where they're getting sustenance and eating those egg things and then just never give us more info on that? Also I liked how in the tunnel they show one of the creatures going into like a stasis while the rain is going. Almost resting because it can't pinpoint any particular noise and waiting until it can hear something.
I wonder if there may be an audience disconnect based on age. I watched it yesterday and was very emotional. I really connected with Lupita Nyong’o’s character Sam. I found it more moving than the first two. I’m in my 20s and have no kids, so maybe it’s why resonated with it more. I found the entire evaluation of life given the circumstances so profound.
We literally see a soldier in the beginning of the movie being torn apart really easily. I think the Death Angels just killed whoever tried to confront them
I have a a quiet Cat and I could relate a lot to the cat in the movie, I liked the movie a lot and I think it was clever to write a character such as Lupita's one in which made sense just to go where she wanted to go no matter what. It would've been difficult to buy if it was another character which we've seen in a ton of horror movies, people doing stupid shit just for no reason. She got what she wanted and she is at peace with her to leave this world without any regrets.
Wow this perspective is very interesting because from my experience and a lot of other reviewers the character study aspect was a really stand out aspect of the film, and having a cat in an end of the world scenario instead of a dog is nice twist
Not as good as the first, but still pretty good! Lupita Nyong’o is a phenomenal actress and she is so beautiful. And (spoiler!!!) I’m so glad the cat lived, such a cute cat! I’ll give this movie a 7.5/10 in my opinion And another spoiler: For anyone saying that all the main character cared about was pizza, that was because she had terminal cancer. She knew she was gonna die either way. Whether it was from the cancer or the creatures. If it wasn’t from the creatures, the cancer would have still killed her. That’s what makes the story powerful and emotional. People complaining just didn’t 100% pay full attention to the movie because it is so much more than just wanting pizza, she had a reason behind it. Anyways, since she knew she was dying, there was nothing wrong with the fact that she wanted pizza. Plus it was the pizza place that brought back memories with her dad that passed away. Another good reason she wanted that pizza. Also Lupita Nyong’o did an incredible job in this movie. Extremely talented actress
I thought the movie was pretty good. The visual effects and the action scenes were excellent. Some parts of the movie the pacing was kind of slow. Lupita was her excellent self as she always is in her films. I was pleasantly surprised by Joseph Quinn’s performance. He was excellent! After Stranger Things & this film, I think he can be the next big movie star. And the cat! That is one brave cat! It was kind of hard to hear when they were whispering to each other though . But all in all, it was a good time at the movies just really glad it was only a little more than 90 minutes.
I felt the movie tried to force me to care for charecters I didn’t care about, it felt extnrely cliche, predictable and wayyyyyy too contained for a quiet place DAY ONE!!! It feels like a failed cloverfield of sorts and cloverfield done it right!!!! For a day one movie, and the marketing behind it, you’re gonna have to have at least some sort of military insight like world war z or as I said, cloverfield! But this was too contained for its own good. The worst part was the fact that the movie just tried to force me to like and care and cry for charecters that I simply did not care about. I felt violated in a way hahah. LOVE THESE POOR PEOPLE NOW! None of it was earned, especially for a film that is pretty short. Finally it felt like it ended way too soon, it ended half way through the film! Ok he’s on the boat now!! What next? What’s happening on the other side?? I thought these things landed everywhere? It all just makes no sense! Honestly, it’s one of the worst films of the year so far for me 😢
I bet this movie, once again, doesn't explain or show how the military reacted to alien invasion. Would much rather have seen this about a small group of soldiers dealing with invasion.
I think the way the characters in this one managed to somehow figure out that staying silent is the way to survive the alien monsters is ridiculously fast. Its as if they knew very quickly they must not make any noise. I'd love to see more of how men in NY reacted at first and slowly learn these creatures have this weakness.
I so completely agree with you Austin. I literally kept saying, I just don’t care. I wanted to care. I wanted to like these characters. I didn’t care for the second film either, for the same reason. Not much else going on other than going around, trying to be quiet, and not alert the monsters. Total snooze fest for me personally. Really liked the first where they maximized this premise. And I was disappointed that they didn’t do more with the setting. I thought this could have been Cloverfield meets a Quiet Place, and I heard this film was so emotional , so I was really let down by the story and characters. The cat is the one element of the film I did like.
I honestly thought it was decent I didn't expect much from a movie called Day 1, On tbe real i felt like the idea of the cat, was likely meant to serve as a sense of "hope" if that makes sense Dogs are usually loud, they bark even by instincr bu the mere sight of weirdos or loud noises, so ancat is usually silent makes sense I was also sorta connected with the characters as i was kind of wondering if they live, what'll happen to them next
I have question. For u personally. Is a 68/100 a good movie? Is a 85/100 an amazing movie? Been wondering about how the scale of rating movies work so I can use yours lol.
Alot of people thought that the cat was one of the best thing about this movie. It's the best of the three but it is not totally satisfying as a whole.
Odd how they figured super quick to be quiet.. yet not understand a cat- that meows, purrs, scratches, squirms… would be irresponsible to carry around endangering all. A true cat lover would’ve let it go.. it’d have no problem surviving in NYC. 🐱 🐁
Waste of time, nice visual but the story line was so boring & missed out a lot of action where is the military, no botched attempted rescue on day one? No learning curves! No let’s get pizza 🤯
Every sensible human being would know that having the cat around you you would not survive longer than 2 seconds in this universe. So to have the cat survived until the end is just BS. Literally killing the concept of this story. I'd love to see more of what actually happened to those 10 out of 12 boats that failed to flee the port (a clear missed opportunity in storytelling). And to have the main protagonist killed off at the very end is also kinda wacked - it makes you think like hey why do I even need to care about her if you would kill her off at the end?
That's like saying "Why do I have to care about Iron Man if he's going to eventually die?" What matters the most is the journey, not the ending. And I personally really liked Sam (Lupita's character) so her dying was sad yet a nice conclusion, at least to me But hey, to each their own Ig
I love what you’re saying. Honestly NOW what I want is the military perspective . We get an in depth feel of the on ground , in air or in sea look of the military during this invasion. IN NYC, or anywhere else in America showing us things and answering questions. I think this would be amazing
You’re onto something!
So it’s Dunkirk in Quiet Place universe
that is a great idea!
I have thought that since the first movie came out. And especially since this one started promoting
@@FallenKnight2244 I mean imagine with the amount of funding they got , the movie cld get so much more action packed then what we’ve experienced in different ways
If CLOVERFIELD can perfect a first day invasion I don’t understand why A Quiet Place Day One couldn’t.
They did perfect it. With this movie

Ryan is a great reviewer too, I have now subscribed to him 😊

I’m 28 and I loved this movie. It was emotional and powerful. Pretty good movie
I thought it failed to capture New York.
,, example... where's the NYC police? Where's the Venders?
We literally see a soldier in the beginning of the movie being torn apart really easily. I think the Death Angels just killed whoever tried to confront them
@@al3xei87your lying we do not see the. Soldier being torn apart we only see the alien grab the soldier
Thanks for the review Austin! Also, "Pig" is awesome. Didn't know it was the same director. Thank you for the info.

Always love your reviews Austin!! Btw have you seen the latest The Boys episode?
I have! Hope to do some recaps of my thoughts soon-ish lol

Its a failure as a origin story. It might as well had been called part 3
I agree with all of your thoughts. Defintely the weakest of the three but I still enjoyed it. Its like a 3/5 movie for me. Good but nothing more
Definitely prefer Bird Box series over this.
Spot on review, I'd say.
You all missed the point to why she wanted pizza
No no. I got it lol
That’s a spoiler though
@@AustinBurke yea I was talking about some people in the comments
The point doesn’t really matter. It was a terrible idea.
@@MH-uh3hw explain why?

Excited to see it tomorrow!
I would've ditched that cat a long time ago.
This channel is ANTI-CAT! Lol.
Sure is, & I don’t appreciate the cat slander 😂. Especially when considering the characters from the last movie had a damn baby with them.
This is the first Austin L!?
This was easily the best one because it finally offered characters that are more than “one note plot devices”
Haha I disagree! I found these humans to be (by far) the least interesting of the three movies. Not bad… Just the least good.
@@AustinBurke aw man I disagree but it is what it is, glad you like it tho man!
If it weren't for the cat I would have been completely disappointed in this movie. Instead, I was just mostly disappointed.
THANK YOU!!!!! I saw it last night and was heart broken of how many questions I was left unanswered. Definitely a 5/10
I so completely agree with you Austin. I literally kept saying, I just don’t care. I wanted to care. I wanted to like these characters. I didn’t care for the second film either, for the same reason.

So I take it that you both are watching both movies? AQP and Horizon? That should be a fun show!

Groan . Saving pet ???? 😂😂😂
I honestly thought it was decent
I didn't expect much from a movie called Day 1,
On tbe real i felt like the idea of the cat, was likely meant to serve as a sense of "hope" if that makes sense
Dogs are usually loud, they bark even by instincr bu the mere sight of weirdos or loud noises, so ancat is usually silent makes sense
I was also sorta connected with the characters as i was kind of wondering if they live, what'll happen to them next
I'm good with part 1 & 2. That's enough for me.
I wanted more of a Cloverfield then a Super 8
I have question. For u personally. Is a 68/100 a good movie? Is a 85/100 an amazing movie? Been wondering about how the scale of rating movies work so I can use yours lol.
Anything above a 60 is fresh for me!
In a similar vein of rotten tomatoes
6 okay
7 good
8 great
9 amazing
10 masterpiece
@@AustinBurke Thank you so much!!
Alot of people thought that the cat was one of the best thing about this movie.
It's the best of the three but it is not totally satisfying as a whole.
This is exactly why Hollywood give us nothing but prequels/sequels and franchise repetition 3:36
Uh-oh. Not good? I have zero problem skipping this movie-zeero.
A girl wanted pizza and you didn’t find that relatable????
Only if it was John’s at Bleeker
I like War of The Worlds better.
This franchise should have never been turned into one
Odd how they figured super quick to be quiet.. yet not understand a cat- that meows, purrs, scratches, squirms… would be irresponsible to carry around endangering all.
A true cat lover would’ve let it go.. it’d have no problem surviving in NYC. 🐱 🐁
Great review. My least fav for sure. I also don’t like when more than just a one or two clips of the trailer don’t make it into the movie.
There was nothing to offer in this movie, they are just milking from the franchise , it was so boring and unnecessary
Yes it was a missed oportunity; theres chunks of the movie in wich nothing happens; its dissapointing
Waste of time, nice visual but the story line was so boring & missed out a lot of action where is the military, no botched attempted rescue on day one? No learning curves! No let’s get pizza 🤯
This movie is just very poetic with in depth character study. Those negative Nancy who had never own a cat just wanted an Independence Day remake.
The last thing I wanted to see was a poetic movie lol.
When you say it doesn’t lead to anything do you mean they all die at the end of the
Not necessarily. Just feels like much more of a contained story, which isn’t the worst thing.
really dumb, boring movie. 3/10....That was not horror. Boring drama, with a super weird male lead character.
Every sensible human being would know that having the cat around you you would not survive longer than 2 seconds in this universe. So to have the cat survived until the end is just BS. Literally killing the concept of this story. I'd love to see more of what actually happened to those 10 out of 12 boats that failed to flee the port (a clear missed opportunity in storytelling). And to have the main protagonist killed off at the very end is also kinda wacked - it makes you think like hey why do I even need to care about her if you would kill her off at the end?
If the characters in the other movies can survive with a baby, then these new characters can survive with a cat. Babies are louder than cats 🙂
That's like saying "Why do I have to care about Iron Man if he's going to eventually die?" What matters the most is the journey, not the ending. And I personally really liked Sam (Lupita's character) so her dying was sad yet a nice conclusion, at least to me
But hey, to each their own Ig
this movie was friggin awful...
- we get it, people can bond.
- needed more insight to the monsters.
- that white boy was a level 100 stalker.
