Just saw this last night. Really really enjoyed it. Krasinski and Blunt were wonderful as well as the deaf daughter.

Quite a few very tense moments. I highly recommend this if you enjoy suspenseful movies.

saw it last night, agree, lots of tense moments and great use of sound for a suspenseful movie

Got tickets for 11:25 this morning at the Drafthouse. Seems like a perfect flick for an overcast, chilly Saturday.

Hmmm a friend, albeit a girl, said it wasn't that good and had too many holes in story. I was intrigued after watching the trailers, then on the fence after talking to her, now falling off of the fence after reading this thread. What to do?

I thought it was great. Yes there are a few plot holes here and there but I believe that can be said about almost all movies these days. Runs a very lean and tense 90 minutes. Watching a move that quiet in long stretches is also a very unique theatrical experience.

Great for a directorial debut but a little overrated. Still enjoyed it bigly

 

Alien looks great. Movie should have been R instead of PG 13

Saw it last night and really liked it, it was nice to see a pretty original concept. The movie isn't all that scary though. I didn't realize it was only PG-13 until reading Greenspoint's comment just now. 

A fun movie.

A nice touch - when the family is in the store in the beginning of the movie, the place is cleaned out - except for bags of chips.

Great movie, can't really think of one thing I didn't like. Tense as fuck is the best way to describe it

You think? (Regarding the R rating) It's definitely intense, but no sex, violence, or really any gore. My 10-yo is dying to see it and I think he could handle it.

This movie was what Signs wanted to be. The acting was really outstanding, and I think we can expect lots of greatness from John Krasinski as a director.

Agree with everything here. It's quite possibly the most tension I've had sitting through a movie since Saving Private Ryan, even more so. Really enjoyed it. Don't know if I would call it great. Will like to see it at home and see if it still holds up.

Saw it last night. I left with more popcorn than I ever had at a movie. I was too afraid of making noise chewing it.

Enjoyed it. Deaf daughter really knew her way around the equipment in the basement she was forbidden to enter.

 

So why was she forbidden from entering the basement? Maybe I missed it, but there didn't seem to be a clear reason.

The dicknose to my left was constantly digging in a sandwich bag for jerky. 

Fat Albert came into the movie five minutes after it started, reclined his seat, and was asleep snoring ten minutes later.  Fortunately being the first show of the day, there were plenty of seats available which we took advantage of.  Damn good flick.

I guess it was because he was working with a ton of frequencies for her hearing aid and didn't want it to hurt her or mess anything up.

My 10-yo loved it. The worst part for him was

When she steps on the nail and then pulls her foot off of it.

 

saw it last night.  I did find it very entertaining and enjoyed the characters.  and emily blunt is so fucking hot even while toting a kid around in her belly.  but

anyone else get frustrated by how decimated the world was due to these things?  it seems like you could set up an alarm clock to go off next to a pile of C4 in a field.  you sit in a bird’s nest 100 yards away and trigger the thing to explode via remote control whenever those fuckers run up.  or any number of ways other than that.  they weren’t without weaknesses and yet they somehow destroyed civilization.  I mean they were blind for fuck’s sake.

and who kept the power plants operational?

 

I look forward to it.

I read Krasinski was getting so much pub from this, that Amazon said yes to a season 2 of Jack Ryan, so that is good.

Not a quiet place...

 

Maybe it had a hole in the bottom.

Heard good things about the movie but friends had horrible experience in theater. Waiting for dvd so I don’t have to deal with loud morons. 

good, novel idea, worth a direct-to-streaming release.

 

the actual movie wasnt worthy of a big screen showing.  lots of plot holes.  kinda like an M Night Shimalingadingdong flick.

im an engineer and i can rig up home-made hearing implants , but wiring a distant loudspeaker is too difficult so our failsafe plan to create an auditory distraction is literally to set off fireworks that has to be lit by hand........... 

 

dug it.  saw it at alamo with only 2 other people in the place.

Liked it. Kudos to Krasinski for producing/directing. Dude's career is hot.

Holes, yes, but what movie can't be second guessed? I'm still waiting for the giant grub worms from that Rock movie I  just saw.

I yearn for a monster that doesn't make me think I'm watching Alien again.

These monsters seemed like blatant ripoffs of the stranger things monster.

Heard this could be a cloverfield spinoff. Anyone that’s seen have any opinion on that?

Also anyone see it at flix?  Heard they had a suggested menu of quiet things. No popcorn and shit. 

Saw it in a very small theatre.  It was dead quiet the whole time.  Didnt necessarily make the experience better, because I couldnt help but chuckle at the outlandishness of the thing...

Hey, by this river we can talk all we like, and next to this waterfall we can literally scream at each other.  But let's take refuge inside a house where we have to be careful of walking on the floorboards, and prepared to stuff Baby in coffin with a ventilator mask

Hey there. I’m almost 40 minutes in, and am intrigued still. But wondering what happens when she goes into labor. 

Also wondering how blind creatures that need sound to hunt are able to navigate very quickly through areas with obstacles like forests. 

They don't need sound to hunt.  The sound triggers pursuit.  Maybe they use echo location to navigate obstacles.  

Thought about that, but then they’d be able to detect motion. This family walks around believing they are safe as long as they are quiet, and so far it’s been true. 

Just watched it. Good not great movie. Unique though.


Spoiler: The family should be ashamed of themselves for not coming up with better emergency distraction sounds out in the fields. And they could be killed by guns? And the idea of having a baby in those circumstances is plain regarded.

Baby was probably an accident. Hard to get a morning after pill during the apocalypse.

Good point, but isn't a pull-out/belly shot much quieter than an internal nut?  Haven't seen it, but I'm assuming the conception comes after the initial "wave of sonar aliens"?
