"Sam" (Lupita Nyong'o) is living at a residential home when a group of them take a day out to the big city.She only agrees to go if she can have pizza, but that opportunity is soon kiboshed when their minder "Reuben" (Alex Wolff) tries to herd them back home after a city-wide alert is called.Things are falling from the sky - and these things are hungry.With carnage ensuing, she and her cat manage to find refuge in the theatre they were attending but with even the slightest of sounds attracting their foes, she realises that heading to Harlem for a Pepperoni from Patsy's might be her best option. ...

Smart horror films are one movie genre of which not nearly enough offerings are produced.These pictures are proof positive that edgy, spooky stories can be successfully made without having to kill off the cast or engage in spectacles of gratuitous gore.The works of filmmakers like Jordan Peele and Alex Garland exemplify this, as do the three releases in this impressive franchise.And this latest entry is, without a doubt, the best of the lot. ...

Nothing special.My first and enduring reaction to A Quiet Place Day One.

Perhaps the biggest shortcoming is rather flat, indifferent, cynical characterisations."Everything is shit...." According to the main character.Perhaps this reflects the New York way of being? ...

"A Quiet Place: Day One stands out for its thematically rich, complex, universal screenplay, resuming the franchise’s exploration of topics such as the fight for survival, humanity, and the will to live, while enriching the saga with inspirational character arcs around mental, physical, and emotional health.

Michael Sarnoski displays his exceptional ability to create an apocalyptic atmosphere filled with suspense and terror at every turn, ensuring high entertainment value throughout the whole runtime. The notable performances by Lupita Nyong’o, Joseph Quinn, and Alex Wolff significantly elevate the movie, with Nyong’o, in particular, delivering a powerful, intense performance that underscores the importance of finding hope and joy amid despair.

The emphasis on the importance of emotional support animals is the cherry on top that makes this installment a valuable, moving addition to the saga."

Rating: A-

Great performances.Monster sequences are incredible.Fantastic cinematography.Everyone loves the cat. ...

Unexpectedly, quite dull.

'A Quiet Place: Day One' builds some tension well and features very good sound design, though the story and its characters are a disappointment.I have no issues with Lupita Nyong'o and Joseph Quinn, they try, but Sam and Eric are written quite boringly.I felt like we were missing some major character development for both.

The plot is rather underwhelming.There is some additional meaning in there admittedly, but it's literally one lame objective and then the standard styled exit. ...

Lupita Nyong'o has a talent for elevating every film she's in, and her performance in A Quiet Place: Day One is no exception.Alongside Joseph Quinn, she shines brightly in this third installment of the A Quiet Place franchise.This film breathes much-needed life into the series, which has only improved over time.

The first film introduced an interesting concept but didn’t resonate with me long-term.The second film, though bolstered by terrific performances from Cillian Murphy and Emily Blunt, still left me wanting more. ...

Today, I visited the cinema to watch the film Quiet Place: Day One, anticipating a thrilling and edge-of-your-seat experience.I must admit, the movie did not disappoint.While it may not be a masterpiece, it was enjoyable and engaging enough to warrant multiple viewings with the potential to discover new details each time.

Lupita Nyong'o delivers a stellar performance as the main character, portraying a patient from a hospice center who must fight for her life.She embodies the role with great skill and authenticity.

As for the main character Eric, portrayed by a British actor whose name I am unsure of, his portrayal lacks a bit in the scare factor. ...

"A Quiet Place: Day One" has a central character who is completely believable.Her name is Samira and she is terminally ill and what she is doing makes her appear to be more foolhardy than almost everyone else trapped in New York city on day one.It is not surprising she is looked upon with total incredulity when other people find out what she is attempting to accomplish in the middle of all this frightening chaos which could possibly signal the end of civilisation as we know it.The film somehow manages to successfully create a well balanced whole which doesn't lapse into a damaging split with Samira and Eric on one side of a rapidly expanding gulf and the attacking creatures on the other side with neither combining at any point to create a coherent and satisfying whole. ...
