A Quiet Place: Day One

"Really good prequel to the first two in the series. No new ground necessarily and by now you know what you’re going to get. But it’s still chilling and exciting. Lupita Nyong’o continues to prove that’s she’s an absolutely fantastic actress in everything she does. "

"The two main actors were phenomenal, but it’s not my favorite of the Quiet Place franchise. Still very good though."

"Just as suspenseful as the others in the series, this movie will make you hold your breath and not want to move. I loved the performances, and some scenes in particular were really fascinating. I had to go into this with the right expectations- you won't get explanations for the aliens, you won't get much more information, but you will get more of what you loved from the first movies (with somewhat less dialogue). The dialogue in this is extremely visual, and you need to analyze if you want to know why someone did something."

"I'm surprised to say that I think A Quiet Place: Day One is my favorite of the series. Lupita Nyong'o & Joseph Quinn were both great in this, but Frodo the cat really stole the show. Nico & Schnitzel are talented kitties! Please put Nyong'o & Quinn in more movies together!"

"Even though I don’t like jump scare movies that much, I enjoy the story they made to go with it so it wasn’t as bad. Like another person mentioned, I did wish they put more story into why the creatures ended up landing on earth. Other than that, I enjoyed Lupita Nyongo’s character and her sassy attitude despite the fact she was already dying from a disease. They don’t specify either which disease she was dying from but I guess they didn’t feel the need to say what it was. And how the hell did the cat stay quiet basically the whole time??? I figured it would have meowed or hissed at the aliens whenever those aliens would come nearby. Either way, I enjoyed the casting choices they made and love those actors. I’d say it’s worth the watch if you’re not a huge fan of horror films. "

"It was a more personal take on “day one” than I expected but I enjoyed it all the same. "

"Lupita plays a cancer patient living in a hospice. They all go into New York city to see a play when meteors start falling ti earth and it's the aliens. Like the title says we see what happens on day one. It's interesting to see how they all navigate amd try to survive as they learn on the run. This was not what I was expecting at all. I thought I would get some military action fighting the aliens with New York as the backdrop. Not at all. This is a character study as we watch the journey of lupita and later another survivor as she goes on a mission to her old neighborhood. Very powerful performance s with her being the stand out. With them having to be quiet they depend on thier faces and body language which is very good. If you are looking for answers about the aliens or alot of action you won't get that here. What you get is a beautiful story about a woman who is dying and we go along on her journey. Very good and worthy of seeing on the big screen.

"Acting was great but the story is not what I expected. I was expecting maybe a little more insight into why or where they came from. Was left wanting, and therefore looked out of necessity to find out more lol"

"I really enjoyed this movie, and the growth I noticed from both characters by the end was absolutely amazing! However, I had to dock it a star because their choices were so terrible throughout the movie (and they kept working?!) that I experienced none of the tense dread of the first two films. Still looking forward to the next one!"

"SOOOO GOOOD! After I left the theater I was still thinking about how good it was. The characters were so interesting and had a good chemistry together. It really felt like they went from strangers to friends. The letter at the end ofc had me crying 😭 "
