Sadly, I was bored through much of this. In most movies, I'm enthralled enough to not even think about my phone. The urge to pull mine out and scroll hit me pretty strong in this one. (No, I didn't do that). Not much happened, and no one was talking. It was a slog. I give them points for trying, though.

Pretty good and entertaining movie for rehashing a part of the story we already know. I really liked it, but didn't completely love it.

Agree with the others, this movies is pretty boring as I ended up not caring if the characters lived or died, just that the movie would finish.

Very satisfying to me. I think it's an incredibly bold and interesting choice to have a terminally ill lead in a horror movie. It takes the suspense in different directions than usually.

Captures the essence of previous movies - You hold your breath and hope any people don't make any sound. This also applies to you next to me who have bought popcorn.
But generally I don't think the movie gives much new and the pizza nostalgia sub-plot seemed unneccesary to me.

Going back to the beginning to see the invasion (infestation?), A Quiet Place: Day One does provide a link to the previous films, but doesn't star the Krasinski family. Instead, we have the always-effective Lupita Nyong'o as a cancer patient who will die on her own terms, and (eventually) Joseph Quinn as her companion as they traverse Manhattan, avoiding alien monsters. But watch out! There's a cat in this story that steals the spotlight every chance it gets, Nyong'o's service animal who's seen Aliens and decided to play Jones' part. The performances, both human and feline, are excellent, and it's this personal story - the end of the world coinciding with the protagonist's dying days - that makes Day One work as well as it does. Because let's be honest: They're not really adding much to the lore here. We already know what's going to happen, and the Quiet aliens are just as mysterious as they were in Parts 1 and 2. The interest comes from setting the story in one of the loudest places on Earth (where the other films were in the country or already empty towns), but we've seen the 9/11 iconography many times by now. I don't know if they plan to make more, but if they do, they really need to finally show the aliens who sent the Quiets to Earth to clean us out. Let's move beyond the creature feature carnage and expand this world into "War Against the Chtorr" (look it up, book series by David Gerrold) territory.

I had zero expectations for this going in but was pleasantly surprised. Lupita knocks it out of the park.
