Exactly. Also, importantly IMO, the family is mixed deaf and hearing - an all deaf family couldn't hear danger and an all hearing family couldn't communicate the way this one can.
The idea of having a deaf character was so smart. Because imagine it. It's like her perfect world and her worst nightmare all in one. Nobody can make a sound so she doesn't have to feel left out about not being able to hear things or being hearing. But not hearing things she also can't hear if she makes a sound which can be extremely dangerous.
I love all the hidden background details in the movie. Like in the supermarket at the beginning, all the potato chips are left unopened on shelves, due to them being too loud to eat.
John said that the bathtub birth scene took Emily one take and after he said "Cut" she turned to the crew and asked what was for lunch. Damn she is good.
Can't agree with Eric more! This movie shines when you stop worrying about "How did this happen" or "Why couldn't the army handle them?" and just enjoy it. The suspense is fucking insane and when I saw it in theaters there was just absolute silence, it was perfect.
@Esoteric Groyper I don't think it was a flaw. They just didn't want you to focus on things like that. A Quiet Place was about the family and their struggle in the world they now found themselves living in. Yeah, it's fun for us all to speculate on stuff like this now. But at the time and especially when watching the movie for the first time, you can tell they just wanted people to focus on what they were seeing. Having discussions about alien armor vs .50 cal machine guns is fine, it just wasn't the intent of the first movie.
@Esoteric Groyper you know thats not all they use they also use powerful bombs and for some reason even tho it killed other humans they used nukes and it still didn't destroy the creature's armor the creature's can bite through steel and metal so it looks like were gonna need to make so much sound it makes there head pops that's possible

Sometimes you just have to suspend your disbelief for the enjoyment of the movie instead of pedantically picking it apart. It does get pretty irritating tbh
Ironically, the urge to nitpick the scenario (I feel it too) is because the movie is so good. Almost all genre films have huge holes -- at least as large as the very real holes in this. Handguns have 1000 bullets and are as accurate as sniper rifles. Tires are indestructible. People are barely slowed down by crazy injuries. The physics of jumping and explosions and such. OMG. Sound in space. Fire in space. Everyone knows many of their favorite films are outright ridiculous. But Quiet Place feels so real and honest in some ways that we feel it as a real world and thus expect real world logic and consistency.
Around 17:55, they talk about how sinking in corn isn’t realistic. It actually is and I’m not quite sure what the number is, BUT it does kill a lot of people per year.
Sinking in grain/corn is very much a real thing. Because they were standing up straight, their weight allowed them to sink. If you look at the steel door, it wasn't sinking because it was flat and its weight was being distributed over a bigger area.
I learned about how some animals don’t sink in marshland when I was young in school, so I figured it was about surface area and weight distribution too.

So true! American films feed people the information nowadays so I think that's what Rick was expecting and what a lot of people were expecting. I really liked how we only knew what the family did and had to really pay attention to find our own answers. Movies are much more enjoyable when you're not force fed all the answers and can figure it out yourself.
They don’t hear everything all the time. It’s just like how we hear multiple things at a time. The loudest thing may hide quieter sounds. They have a sand down to deaden the sound. But it still makes sound. Also these thing a roaming in their territory. They may not be in range. And we don’t know their range. The only part of the movie that was silly was the snapping but she could have just gotten lucky. And the family had an advantage that they had a deaf daughter that they knew how to communicate. Also it was day 89 at that start of the movie guys. That’s not a lot of time. Like when you guys say what about a city. When they first got here they probably just slaughtered anything that moved. They could have cleared a city really quickly how they move.
When my brother and I saw this in the theater, some guy showed up 15 minutes late and kept "whispering" to his date asking her questions about what he had missed. 10 minutes of that and my brother finally looked at him and said, "Dude. Literally *everyone* in this theater can hear you right now!" To his credit, the guy stopped.
i watched this with my colleague and she made the mistake of buying popcorn in - her first mouthful went CRAAAACK in the silence it was hilarious lmao. after that she had to eat piece by piece letting them 'dissolve' in her mouth
Sorry Calvin that’s not quite right about how the casting went down. A friend of theirs was going to play Emily’s character, but then she read the script and said to JK that she absolutely has to play that part. It was her idea not his.
27:30 - What a lot of people don't get about this movie - It's not about being 100% silent all the time, it's about minimizing risk. Sometimes you have to take a risk, sometimes you don't. They don't talk in whispers because there isn't a good a reason to risk it. Sure it might be convenient, but is it worth risking death? Their footsteps when running would make some sound but they run only in situation where they feel like they have to take that risk. They also spread sand all over common paths to reduce sound and you can actually learn to run/walk with less noise if you practice it enough.
I was excited to see this pop up in my recommended, but reading the comments made me hesitate to watch it for now. I'm having Black Mirror reaction flashbacks where Eric & the others spent most of the time explaining to Rick that he need not sweat every little detail to enjoy a show / movie (I mean, he can suspend his disbelief when watching anime & some other shows so he's ok in those), & it just wasn't a fun experience for me. Maybe some other time.
I mean when you have a show like AoT where you can nitpick the shit out of it, your expectations will obviously be high. Generally Rick takes nitpicking seriously when the movie (mostly movies) tries to be serious with the details.
This was one of my all-time favourite movie theatre experiences. It was a large, packed theatre and you could sense how everyone was trying so hard to be quiet. It was this real collective effort to make the experience work. I loved that.
One thing I like about the film is that we as an audience know just about the creatures as the characters in the film. That piece of storytelling, and the sound really make you feel immersed in it.
the "why did the army not stop these things?" question can be answered the same way the book World War Z did about the Battle of Yonkers, the army are trained to kill living humans, weapons are designed to kill living humans. in world war z the army fall apart cos shooting a zombie center mass does nothing, grenades and tanks and shrappnel do nothing and the zombies just kept coming(the chapter of the audio book is on YT somewhere voiced by mark hammil, well worth a listen) and it could have been the same case here, the army were not prepared to fight these things.
Their shield can withstand a planetary explosion so the only way the army could defeat them is if they would have realized sound was their weakness early on. They supposedly killed off majority of the human and animal population in just 89 days, so I am guessing that by the time they did realize (there is a newspaper with "IT'S SOUND!" after all) it was sound it was already too late.
I agree, those creatures have an exoskeleton that made them almost invulnerable, shoting would be pointless. The only thing that made them open their mouths was the hearing device sound waves, and what are the chances of the military figure this out in so little time?
@@giovannayamaniha7114 The only thing I don't understand is how did highly intense battles with the military not deafen and just straight up kill these creatures? I mean, imagine a 130db explosion going off right next to you. To creatures with such delicate hearing I imagine it would be quite damaging.
It’s amazing how any fun in the reaction immediately evaporates whenever Rick finds shit to complain about. We don’t need to know all of this background info, because if we did we’d get a movie like Bird Box where the more that’s explained, the more plot holes open up. A Quiet Place generally works because we don’t know what happened, only what is.
One of the key things, is that feedback sound we hear as an audience, is for us to understand whats going on. When you go back to the corn silo scene, and they show the boy, there is no sound of "feedback", only when they show the girl, or the alien. That frequency of sound would not have been weaponized as we silly humans wouldn't "hear" any sound being made.
6:50 Yeah, I agree. Everyone was quiet in the theatre. Which - REALLY annoys me in retrospect. So you all CAN shut up during a movie, you just normally choose not to.
id agree with Rick on the Military thing if this movie was about the Aliens taking over the world or something. But this wasn't about that is was about the small family in the middle of nowhere we don't know the history or what else is going on in the world...
The military is loud and the aliens are mostly bulletproof so ya they where probably wiped out in a few weeks/months Also cochlear implants don’t make sound they produce electrical signals so the military probably didn’t come up with that idea in the short time they were effective Cheek out cinema wins for more it makes sense to me but hey
Whether the focus is on the family or not you still find yourself wondering about these things as a viewer, and if the information we're given conflicts with common sense then, at least for people like Rick and myself, it pulls you out of your suspension of disbelief. For example, how is it that a small family in the middle of nowhere found the aliens' weakness completely by accident but the entire world's military couldn't figure it out with the best minds in the time it took for civilization to collapse? I don't need to see the military's side of the story to find that implausible.
It's okay for people to dislike something you don't like; in fact you should welcome it. It's a bloody beautiful movie in my opinion. Rick's enjoyment of it doesn't change mine. Let him have his opinion; and you can have yours and we'll live in a peaceful world.
@@ListerWalkthroughs Nobody's saying he can't like it. What annoys me is coming up with a bullshit reason for it. Don't like it for no particular reason? Nothing wrong with just saying that.
There's still part two coming out. So maybe there might be more info about these creatures and the characters' world. But I sure hope part two lives up to the greatness of part one. If not, better.
This was the best movie theater experience for me personally. You could hear someone nervously chew popcorn trying to be quiet. Everyone really tried hard to make no noise it almost felt like you were in the world of the movie. I would basically try and scarf down what I could whenever a loud scene would occur. A very unique theater experience.
Just a quick fact. In fact there are a high number of people who actually die drowned in silo's.In Brazil, for example, they had to create specific occupational safety laws to try to reduce the number of accidents.
@@ytrilesmcguiles Except this was as far from being a shitty movie as any movie could be, and unnecessary nitpicking just comes off annoying and pretentious.
@@CatallusCarmina in your opinion, i guess it's not a shitty movie, but if you really think about it i don't understand how you could say that. it's okay to simply say you found entertainment and enjoyment in it, i didn't though, i found the movie idiotic, boring, and predictable; it rarely followed its own in-universe logic, which is not "nitpicking", there are many legitimate complaints to be had with this film.
I saw this movie in theaters and it was so quiet. I'm the kind of person who starts eating the popcorn as soon as I sit down and am done with it about a third of the way into the movie. This movie, I ate so slowly because I was conscious of every single sound I was making.
@@stephen-macdonald It's not too much though it just gets us caught up on the same page as the family we're following. We never know something that they don't
Listening to Rick is super frustrating. I think he's used to films feeding him all the answers and doesn't like having to figure stuff out onn his own or use his imagination.
True the dude got the i think im smart syndrome while ALWAYS reference some shit he thinks makes him sound clever but more like a hater imo. He always do that, its like bla bla some moronick obscure thing he think sounds clever.
He's the type of person that takes you out of the experience watching a movie. He had some valid points but he was kinda pushing it too much here it became irritating. lol
He literally ruins the experience for other people, Idk how they manage to react to things with him….not every film is meant to spell everything out for the views. This film was from the family’s perspective, we’re not suppose to know everything about the creatures because the family doesn’t.
He is like that everytime... He laughs at every sad/drama scene, thats why Rick reacts was hated in Game of Thrones, he laughs at every single episode that have a great drama or sad story
I just watched the reaction and it seems pretty normal. It was Calvin who complained about the nail and Eric who was doubting the corn. By looking at the comments I assume Rick is gonna complain in the Discussion section. But hey, that's just how he is, you gotta cut the guy some slack!
@@Danilego The nail part was dumb as shit though, the first moment you see the nail you already know somebody is going to step on it. Foreshadowing is cool and all but it shouldn't be on the nose, all that was missing was a sign next to it saying it's going to be a thing later, it should have been a red herring if they wanted to advertise it so boldly at first. That being said, I enjoyed the movie a lot.
I absolutely LOVED this movie when it came out. I was lucky enough to see it in a QUIET theater. Then I was unlucky enough to see it with some friends - later - and the friend right next to me was eating popcorn through the whole first half. Drove me absolutely nuts.
How would the military have worked it out? Look at the rate at which they can kill. They would have been completely helpless. It would be difficult to have stopped them even if guns did work.
And only the hearing device sound rate was responsible to make the creature open it's mouth and become vulnerable, in general, shoting would be pointless with the creature's exoskeleton
I always imagined a lot of military rushing in to try and stop them and just get completely demolished because of the mosnter’s armor and all of their equipment is extremely loud.. so I feel a lot of the monsters showed up
If you equalize the weight across a larger area by laying down or sitting on a bigger flatter area, you won’t sink in the corn. It’s like trying to cut a piece of paper by dropping a flat metal sheet on it, but if you drop an exacto blade facing down, it will go through it like butter.
6:45 Me and my friend saw this in theater. So surprised at how silent everyone was while watching this, definitely the quiestest ive ever seen. I think everyone read into the movie & knew what type of movie it was gonna be. Also the fact that this movie is tense as all hell made us even quieter, like the monsters would get us if we made a sound.
I remember when me and my friend saw this in theaters. It was so quiet, you could literally hear movies from the other theaters. Definitely one of my favorite theater experiences.
I like how when they showed from the daughters' point of view, the silence was different. It was more complete. Everyone's else POV included sounds of nature.
The experience of this movie in theaters was AMAZING people was so into it that when she stepped on the nail nobody screamed, everyone shrieked and covered their mouths
As a teacher, I walk next to the middle of my class in transition time. I can monitor front and back and keep the students together. I can always fall back quickly if needed. I totally agree the youngest should not have been alone in the back.
Me and my brother went to see this in Theaters and we chose a theater that had full services (Food,Alcohol,the works) We had He had ordered some nachos and quesadilla , I had order a taco trio that had fried fish,shrimp,and chick inside along with some chips and dip. We did not think it through. We though that there would be some form of dialogue at some point. Every time we took a bite some of the other people would laugh. When they go to the waterfall scene we scarfed everything.
I honestly think Rick is just trolling everyone all the time. That or he’s apparently the smartest person in the world and everything everyone else does is stupid.
The military wouldn't/shouldn't be able to survive an apocalyptic event. The military consist of humans who would be just as vulnerable to a pandemic, alien invasion, nuclear war, etc... I wouldn't count on the military as a whole, holding it together. There might be pockets of soldier trying...but they could easily become a part of the problem, instead of the solution. I have two sons who served, so don't think I hate the military, because I don't. It's just that I can't seeing it surviving an apocalypse of mass destruction.
"if they would of have figure that out, they would of published it" PRINTING PAPPERS, DROPPING THEM TO PPLS HOUSES, THAT FAR GONE INTO THE PRESENT, RICK, ARE U KIDDING ME.
Saw this in theatres and it's mindblowing how incredibly tense you feel watching it every scene is full to the brim of tension Krasinski really impressed me with his directing very nice shots that take their time and let the tension build as long as it can
Ok I’ve worked on a ranch with those corn drums and that can actually happen it’s like quick sand. Ok so can we suspend our disbelief and stfu before these aliens kill us goddamnit? Edit: Rick: it’s the movie job to tell us everything Cinemasins: we approve Rick
I watched the movie pretty recently, so the theatre was basically empty besides for like 4 other people and yup could here every time someone jumped in their chair. I was literally holding my breath the whole movie. Absolutely stunning.
Drowning in corn is called: Grain entrapment - Wikipedia Engulfment has a very high fatality rate. While the death rate from workplace accidents on American farms has declined in the first decade of the 21st century, grain-entrapment deaths have not, reaching an all-time annual high of 26 in 2010. Many of those victims have been minors.
This movie reminds me of a scene in the movie Lovely bones. One of the characters is sneaking around a house while the person downstairs is listening for the sound of an intruder. The scene was completely silent and I can even remember holding my breath while I watched it. The movie in general was just ok but that scene was done really well.
AS far as the military thing, we don't know exactly how many of these things there are or how they reproduce. They landed on an asteroid. Two these thing's armor are ridiculously tough considering they did not implode in the vacuum of space, much less survive the landing of the asteroid they were on. Third, even if armor piercing rounds worked, it's unlikely everyone had access to them. Fourth, it was likely chaos initially, with screaming and gun fire everywhere and if there were hundreds or thousands of them it would have been worse. The military liked would have needed weeks to figure out that these things operated on sound, considering it would have been tough to kill them. Fifth, these things were relentless, so they likely killed people in their sleep as well. So military likely died due to exhaustion. It wasn't until the population dwindled down that they started coming up with effective survival tactics.
Ricks critiques were really off for this movie which is weird as we usually share opinions on a lot of things. It almost seems like it went over Ricks head. He was looking at it like this is going to be a standalone film that never gets a sequel. It's actually an extremely poop decision for directors/producers/writers to build the world over the course of one movie/book/comic. We learn just enough about the world to be invested so they can build on it later. It's also in the perspective of one family in the entire world. It wouldn't make sense to tell you everything from this one story and would hurt chances to add further depth with successive entries into the series.
See, I got that it was about frequency and not decibels. It doesn't hear some the footsteps for example because it might be too low frequency. Same for running for the most part. Something like corn I'd imagine would be a higher frequency and something that could be in their range.
It's not even that guns can't do anything, it's that they're too loud. You'll just attract more (and at this point we don't know how many are around) so that's why it's safer to live in silence.
I haven't seen this movie yet but they actually just recently wrapped up filming the sequel to this movie in my hometown. Well, about 15 minutes from my hometown in Buffalo and Grand Island, NY. They talked about it a lot on our local news channels all summer.
I'm pretty glad I didn't see the movie in a well lit room surrounded by people talking. Watching it in the theater was awesome cuz it was dead silent. no one wanted to even eat popcorn to make noise. Totally make the experience 100 times better.
The corn thing is actually real, kills dozens of farmers per year. It's like quicksand.
corn is much deadlier than quicksand, quicksand does not kill according to Mythbusters
@@jeffreysmith236 True, I just meant in how you can sink into it and struggle to get out of it.

Jeffrey Smith Yeah you just get stuck pretty bad. Quicksand doesn’t even get half-way to the neck. Things just die cause they can’t get out.
They are still alive in part because their daughter is deaf. The family already knew sign language before the aliens arrived.
Exactly. Also, importantly IMO, the family is mixed deaf and hearing - an all deaf family couldn't hear danger and an all hearing family couldn't communicate the way this one can.

27:30 - What a lot of people don't get about this movie - It's not about being 100% silent all the time, it's about minimizing risk. Sometimes you have to take a risk, sometimes you don't.
They don't talk in whispers because there isn't a good a reason to risk it. Sure it might be convenient, but is it worth risking death?
Their footsteps when running would make some sound but they run only in situation where they feel like they have to take that risk.
They also spread sand all over common paths to reduce sound and you can actually learn to run/walk with less noise if you practice it enough.
Rick must love Cinemasins
Oh goodie, I almost forgot how much of a joy rick was. I'm glad to be reminded I would have forgotten otherwise.
Andrew Scott he is so incredibly unemotional it’s like he’s trying.
I was excited to see this pop up in my recommended, but reading the comments made me hesitate to watch it for now. I'm having Black Mirror reaction flashbacks where Eric & the others spent most of the time explaining to Rick that he need not sweat every little detail to enjoy a show / movie (I mean, he can suspend his disbelief when watching anime & some other shows so he's ok in those), & it just wasn't a fun experience for me. Maybe some other time.
I mean when you have a show like AoT where you can nitpick the shit out of it, your expectations will obviously be high.
Generally Rick takes nitpicking seriously when the movie (mostly movies) tries to be serious with the details.
Same. I was excited to watch but the comments are making me give this one a pass.
Watch the reaction, skip the discussion. He's not nitpick during the film.
This was one of my all-time favourite movie theatre experiences. It was a large, packed theatre and you could sense how everyone was trying so hard to be quiet. It was this real collective effort to make the experience work. I loved that.
I don't know if you guys saw Edge of tomorrow, I think it's one of Tom Cruise's most underrated movies. Awesome action and very good concept.
Not just "tom cruise's" underrated movie its a pretty underrated movie in general and im glad i watched it when it came out.
Yeah, that and Alita are the only great anime or manga western movie adaptions.
It's a cool movie, I bought the manga after watching it. I think Vanilla Sky is Tom's most underrated movie but it's my all time favorite.
@@lzniR i hope some patreon put on poll for them
It's a great adaptation from the manga, although it changed almost everything, they kept the concept and did something very interesting
One thing I like about the film is that we as an audience know just about the creatures as the characters in the film. That piece of storytelling, and the sound really make you feel immersed in it.
the "why did the army not stop these things?" question can be answered the same way the book World War Z did about the Battle of Yonkers, the army are trained to kill living humans, weapons are designed to kill living humans. in world war z the army fall apart cos shooting a zombie center mass does nothing, grenades and tanks and shrappnel do nothing and the zombies just kept coming(the chapter of the audio book is on YT somewhere voiced by mark hammil, well worth a listen) and it could have been the same case here, the army were not prepared to fight these things.
I don't see how they can keep coming if they're just chunks. You don't have to shoot them through the brain when you utterly obliterate it.
Their shield can withstand a planetary explosion so the only way the army could defeat them is if they would have realized sound was their weakness early on. They supposedly killed off majority of the human and animal population in just 89 days, so I am guessing that by the time they did realize (there is a newspaper with "IT'S SOUND!" after all) it was sound it was already too late.
I agree, those creatures have an exoskeleton that made them almost invulnerable, shoting would be pointless. The only thing that made them open their mouths was the hearing device sound waves, and what are the chances of the military figure this out in so little time?
@@giovannayamaniha7114 The only thing I don't understand is how did highly intense battles with the military not deafen and just straight up kill these creatures? I mean, imagine a 130db explosion going off right next to you. To creatures with such delicate hearing I imagine it would be quite damaging.
They had too much faith in the Army lol A Quiet Place isn't The Mist 2.0 😂
It’s amazing how any fun in the reaction immediately evaporates whenever Rick finds shit to complain about.
We don’t need to know all of this background info, because if we did we’d get a movie like Bird Box where the more that’s explained, the more plot holes open up. A Quiet Place generally works because we don’t know what happened, only what is.
“This is a quiet baby. They’ve evolved.” 😂😂🤣💀💀
“I would have written this in space.”
.....🤐
He is so stupid my god.
One of the key things, is that feedback sound we hear as an audience, is for us to understand whats going on. When you go back to the corn silo scene, and they show the boy, there is no sound of "feedback", only when they show the girl, or the alien. That frequency of sound would not have been weaponized as we silly humans wouldn't "hear" any sound being made.
6:50 Yeah, I agree. Everyone was quiet in the theatre. Which - REALLY annoys me in retrospect. So you all CAN shut up during a movie, you just normally choose not to.
LOL! Right?
Well it probably takes a really good concept and movie tofo that to yah.
Thats why i choose to view good movies at home...these days the theatres are full of dickheads.
id agree with Rick on the Military thing if this movie was about the Aliens taking over the world or something. But this wasn't about that is was about the small family in the middle of nowhere we don't know the history or what else is going on in the world...
@Sydnee Kiara Only to a certain point in time, then they dead too. lol
The military is loud and the aliens are mostly bulletproof so ya they where probably wiped out in a few weeks/months
Also cochlear implants don’t make sound they produce electrical signals so the military probably didn’t come up with that idea in the short time they were effective
Cheek out cinema wins for more it makes sense to me but hey
Kyle Maybury the mom shot one and killed him in the last scene lmao
@@theeasybeginning664 Because it's head armor plates were damaged by the high frequency sound and couldn't close back.
Whether the focus is on the family or not you still find yourself wondering about these things as a viewer, and if the information we're given conflicts with common sense then, at least for people like Rick and myself, it pulls you out of your suspension of disbelief. For example, how is it that a small family in the middle of nowhere found the aliens' weakness completely by accident but the entire world's military couldn't figure it out with the best minds in the time it took for civilization to collapse? I don't need to see the military's side of the story to find that implausible.
Here comes Rick, inventing the dumbest reasons ever to be a contrarian and hate something. "I just wish it took place in space and not on Earth."
Ah, in space, where sound doesn’t exist. Makes... sense?
That was a 'head scratching' moment definitely
those alien ears will be worthless in space, good job rendering villian of movie a big meat lump.
It's okay for people to dislike something you don't like; in fact you should welcome it. It's a bloody beautiful movie in my opinion. Rick's enjoyment of it doesn't change mine. Let him have his opinion; and you can have yours and we'll live in a peaceful world.
@@ListerWalkthroughs Nobody's saying he can't like it. What annoys me is coming up with a bullshit reason for it. Don't like it for no particular reason? Nothing wrong with just saying that.
There's still part two coming out. So maybe there might be more info about these creatures and the characters' world. But I sure hope part two lives up to the greatness of part one. If not, better.
This was the best movie theater experience for me personally. You could hear someone nervously chew popcorn trying to be quiet. Everyone really tried hard to make no noise it almost felt like you were in the world of the movie. I would basically try and scarf down what I could whenever a loud scene would occur. A very unique theater experience.
Just a quick fact. In fact there are a high number of people who actually die drowned in silo's.In Brazil, for example, they had to create specific occupational safety laws to try to reduce the number of accidents.
I feel like I'd hate watching movies with Rick...
@@lizard3724 Not sure I'd go that far XD
it's ok to enjoy shitty movies, it's just embarrassing to not be able to admit they're shitty.
@@ytrilesmcguiles Except this was as far from being a shitty movie as any movie could be, and unnecessary nitpicking just comes off annoying and pretentious.
@@CatallusCarmina in your opinion, i guess it's not a shitty movie, but if you really think about it i don't understand how you could say that. it's okay to simply say you found entertainment and enjoyment in it, i didn't though, i found the movie idiotic, boring, and predictable; it rarely followed its own in-universe logic, which is not "nitpicking", there are many legitimate complaints to be had with this film.
@@ytrilesmcguiles Wow... 2 months later, dude? Cool. You find the film idiotic. Good for you.
This was an amazing movie to see in theaters, probably one of my favorite movie going experiences
They were running on sand...
I saw this movie in theaters and it was so quiet. I'm the kind of person who starts eating the popcorn as soon as I sit down and am done with it about a third of the way into the movie. This movie, I ate so slowly because I was conscious of every single sound I was making.
They were making fun of the corn part, but I thought it was one of the scariest things in the movie😂
And it is a common way for farmers to die
Drowning in silo is one of the worst thing there is. Imagine being suffocated by grains.
I'm glad this movie doesn't just dump exposition.
@@stephen-macdonald It's not too much though it just gets us caught up on the same page as the family we're following. We never know something that they don't
Rick would probably enjoy the exposition.
Listening to Rick is super frustrating. I think he's used to films feeding him all the answers and doesn't like having to figure stuff out onn his own or use his imagination.
True the dude got the i think im smart syndrome while ALWAYS reference some shit he thinks makes him sound clever but more like a hater imo. He always do that, its like bla bla some moronick obscure thing he think sounds clever.
He's the type of person that takes you out of the experience watching a movie. He had some valid points but he was kinda pushing it too much here it became irritating. lol
He literally ruins the experience for other people, Idk how they manage to react to things with him….not every film is meant to spell everything out for the views. This film was from the family’s perspective, we’re not suppose to know everything about the creatures because the family doesn’t.
There's a ways solution if you guys don't like him.
Find another channel, it's not hard
@@timdalsgaard3779 well he is wearing a "happy rick day" t-shirt, soooo.......
So did Rick wake up on the wrong side of the reacting bed and decide he's going to be an extra smug know it all in this one, or what?
He is like that everytime... He laughs at every sad/drama scene, thats why Rick reacts was hated in Game of Thrones, he laughs at every single episode that have a great drama or sad story
Suspension of disbelief in not in his vocabulary so it's hard for him to actually enjoy a movie.
rx7dude2006 This! You just described him perfectly lol
I just watched the reaction and it seems pretty normal. It was Calvin who complained about the nail and Eric who was doubting the corn. By looking at the comments I assume Rick is gonna complain in the Discussion section. But hey, that's just how he is, you gotta cut the guy some slack!
@@Danilego The nail part was dumb as shit though, the first moment you see the nail you already know somebody is going to step on it. Foreshadowing is cool and all but it shouldn't be on the nose, all that was missing was a sign next to it saying it's going to be a thing later, it should have been a red herring if they wanted to advertise it so boldly at first.
That being said, I enjoyed the movie a lot.
I get Rick's issue with the world building and plot but when it comes to storytelling they are almost always secondary to character and theme.
I absolutely LOVED this movie when it came out. I was lucky enough to see it in a QUIET theater. Then I was unlucky enough to see it with some friends - later - and the friend right next to me was eating popcorn through the whole first half. Drove me absolutely nuts.
A QUIET PLACE > Bird Box
Yep for the simple reason of this being show dont tell already puts it way above, birdbox took a lazy approach with telling
I absolutely hated bird box, I still don't understand the big commotion it was, it wasn't scary AT ALL
How would the military have worked it out? Look at the rate at which they can kill. They would have been completely helpless. It would be difficult to have stopped them even if guns did work.
And only the hearing device sound rate was responsible to make the creature open it's mouth and become vulnerable, in general, shoting would be pointless with the creature's exoskeleton
I always imagined a lot of military rushing in to try and stop them and just get completely demolished because of the mosnter’s armor and all of their equipment is extremely loud.. so I feel a lot of the monsters showed up
If you equalize the weight across a larger area by laying down or sitting on a bigger flatter area, you won’t sink in the corn. It’s like trying to cut a piece of paper by dropping a flat metal sheet on it, but if you drop an exacto blade facing down, it will go through it like butter.
6:45 Me and my friend saw this in theater. So surprised at how silent everyone was while watching this, definitely the quiestest ive ever seen. I think everyone read into the movie & knew what type of movie it was gonna be. Also the fact that this movie is tense as all hell made us even quieter, like the monsters would get us if we made a sound.
I remember when me and my friend saw this in theaters. It was so quiet, you could literally hear movies from the other theaters. Definitely one of my favorite theater experiences.
I like how when they showed from the daughters' point of view, the silence was different. It was more complete. Everyone's else POV included sounds of nature.
The experience of this movie in theaters was AMAZING people was so into it that when she stepped on the nail nobody screamed, everyone shrieked and covered their mouths
I think Rick didn’t like the movie cuz of the monopoly scene.
In my head A Quiet Place and 10 Cloverfield Lane
are in the same universe
I hope Blind Wave react to 10 Cloverfield Lane.
Yes, totally!
Actually, this movie was originally supposed to be a Cloverfield movie, but some disagrements happened and it became it's own thing.
Both movies are so fucking tense
Considering their are 3 of these things in the middle of no where, there could be millions in urban areas that were so overwhelming to the military.
The best stories DON'T feed you every answer. More than anything, this movie is a MOOD.
*girl sinks in corn*
"I don't buy that for a second"
Me: "Well it happens so"
After recently giving birth myself, Emily blunts character is the strongest person ever I would’ve gotten my whole family killed from screaming
As a teacher, I walk next to the middle of my class in transition time. I can monitor front and back and keep the students together. I can always fall back quickly if needed. I totally agree the youngest should not have been alone in the back.
A Quiet Place 2 is done filming and goes into theaters early next year
Aged well
Welcome, everyone, to another episode of Rick Ruins Everything.
Me and my brother went to see this in Theaters and we chose a theater that had full services (Food,Alcohol,the works) We had He had ordered some nachos and quesadilla , I had order a taco trio that had fried fish,shrimp,and chick inside along with some chips and dip. We did not think it through. We though that there would be some form of dialogue at some point. Every time we took a bite some of the other people would laugh. When they go to the waterfall scene we scarfed everything.
Me: Oh! Movie reaction!
*sees Rick*
See ya next time.
Rick makes me sad. Find more joy buddy lol
Different opinions make you cry? 😆
@@AJ-cv9zf No. Its his unemotional reaction and also he is overcriticizing which is annoying for people who are watching the movie such as myself.
It’s genuinely one of the biggest killers of farmers to die in grain silos 😂
I honestly think Rick is just trolling everyone all the time. That or he’s apparently the smartest person in the world and everything everyone else does is stupid.
The military wouldn't/shouldn't be able to survive an apocalyptic event. The military consist of humans who would be just as vulnerable to a pandemic, alien invasion, nuclear war, etc... I wouldn't count on the military as a whole, holding it together. There might be pockets of soldier trying...but they could easily become a part of the problem, instead of the solution.
I have two sons who served, so don't think I hate the military, because I don't. It's just that I can't seeing it surviving an apocalypse of mass destruction.
"if they would of have figure that out, they would of published it" PRINTING PAPPERS, DROPPING THEM TO PPLS HOUSES, THAT FAR GONE INTO THE PRESENT, RICK, ARE U KIDDING ME.
Watching this movie on theatre was an amazing experience!!!!!!
Saw this in theatres and it's mindblowing how incredibly tense you feel watching it every scene is full to the brim of tension Krasinski really impressed me with his directing very nice shots that take their time and let the tension build as long as it can
Ok I’ve worked on a ranch with those corn drums and that can actually happen it’s like quick sand. Ok so can we suspend our disbelief and stfu before these aliens kill us goddamnit?
Edit: Rick: it’s the movie job to tell us everything
Cinemasins: we approve Rick
5:06 Calvin is like, "Damn, this movie is NOT going to pull any punches."
In my opinion, this was the best film of 2018.
You can definitely sink in corn. A family friend of ours died last year from it
I watched the movie pretty recently, so the theatre was basically empty besides for like 4 other people and yup could here every time someone jumped in their chair. I was literally holding my breath the whole movie. Absolutely stunning.
Drowning in corn is called: Grain entrapment - Wikipedia
Engulfment has a very high fatality rate. While the death rate from workplace accidents on American farms has declined in the first decade of the 21st century, grain-entrapment deaths have not, reaching an all-time annual high of 26 in 2010. Many of those victims have been minors.
This movie reminds me of a scene in the movie Lovely bones. One of the characters is sneaking around a house while the person downstairs is listening for the sound of an intruder. The scene was completely silent and I can even remember holding my breath while I watched it. The movie in general was just ok but that scene was done really well.
Grain entrapment is a legit thing, and it's probably exactly as terrifying as the movie makes it out to be.
AS far as the military thing, we don't know exactly how many of these things there are or how they reproduce. They landed on an asteroid. Two these thing's armor are ridiculously tough considering they did not implode in the vacuum of space, much less survive the landing of the asteroid they were on. Third, even if armor piercing rounds worked, it's unlikely everyone had access to them. Fourth, it was likely chaos initially, with screaming and gun fire everywhere and if there were hundreds or thousands of them it would have been worse. The military liked would have needed weeks to figure out that these things operated on sound, considering it would have been tough to kill them. Fifth, these things were relentless, so they likely killed people in their sleep as well. So military likely died due to exhaustion. It wasn't until the population dwindled down that they started coming up with effective survival tactics.
Ricks critiques were really off for this movie which is weird as we usually share opinions on a lot of things. It almost seems like it went over Ricks head. He was looking at it like this is going to be a standalone film that never gets a sequel. It's actually an extremely poop decision for directors/producers/writers to build the world over the course of one movie/book/comic. We learn just enough about the world to be invested so they can build on it later. It's also in the perspective of one family in the entire world. It wouldn't make sense to tell you everything from this one story and would hurt chances to add further depth with successive entries into the series.
You guys have gotta react to the thing (1982), I don’t know if you’ve all seen it, but I’d love to see you guys talk about that movie.
See, I got that it was about frequency and not decibels. It doesn't hear some the footsteps for example because it might be too low frequency. Same for running for the most part. Something like corn I'd imagine would be a higher frequency and something that could be in their range.
In my theater there was one family that was super loud
Rick is so negative.
As for footsteps, they laid out a path of sand everywhere they would be walking. Footsteps don’t have the kind of frequency other things did.
It's not even that guns can't do anything, it's that they're too loud. You'll just attract more (and at this point we don't know how many are around) so that's why it's safer to live in silence.
I haven't seen this movie yet but they actually just recently wrapped up filming the sequel to this movie in my hometown. Well, about 15 minutes from my hometown in Buffalo and Grand Island, NY. They talked about it a lot on our local news channels all summer.
They filmed all over Buffalo. I live here and they filmed at my college, the peace bridge, and further out in Batavia.
I'm pretty glad I didn't see the movie in a well lit room surrounded by people talking. Watching it in the theater was awesome cuz it was dead silent. no one wanted to even eat popcorn to make noise. Totally make the experience 100 times better.
I love how the pill bottles at the beginning are all untouched because they would all make noise
10:15
"Pick up the phone"
"The what?"
" 'Cause i f*ckin called it"
IM DYING RIGHT NOW
This reminds me, Jack Ryan S2 on Friday!!
I was forced to watch this for my media course and the sound jumpscares freaking got me every time.
Yeah there was a dude who survived hours stuck under the corn. There is a documentary about it
"high fructose corn syrup is killing you in THIS world" hahahaha
It really amazes me how many movies these guys havent seen
