    It's a good thing the aliens don't use the metric system. Otherwise, their max elevation would be an awkward 2,438.4 meters.

    You can see the CGI was on a very tight budget. But even so, the monsters do look pretty good. The story though, it just commands an eye roll. Like dude, really now. We've seen these type of scripts before and can tell the end from the beginning.

    Oof, Morena Baccarin barely features on the poster or promo material. I'm surprised this even got a theatrical release: it looks like another Anthony Mackie 5-point-something streaming movie, like Outside the Wire. That might have been good enough in an era where people habitually went to the theatre and then watched whatever was on, but I don't see The Modern Audience going out specifically to spend money on this.

      @@camillecunningham7348 The story should not be based in any of the usual franchises, but be a new creation. Cover the discovery of new energy sources and new insights in physics, the reasons why mankind needs to go to the stars, the training of the first true star men and women and ultimately the first ship, leaving the solar system. Ever watch "Destination: moon" - 1951 movie about the first ship to reach the moon. Something that fuels our dreams and aspirations. The problem, I believe, is that Hollywood is a dying industry and knows it. Of course, they are pessimistic and dwell on endings and various disasters... but that isn't all humanity is. Mankind is best when it is exploring.

  • @sebulbathx
    @sebulbathx 4 дні тому

    I feel with Anthony Mackie when he has the lead act he still feel like a support act. I think the plot had potential but the execution was just ok so the result was predictable and the aliens were never explained more than small bits of information. Also nothing or very little about why and how the aliens came or anything about the incident that started everything. I would have wanted more backstory.
    The movie is entertaining so if you want an action scifi movie or just want an easy movie to watch then this one ticks the box. Would not pay a movie ticket to watch it though but as a streaming service movie it's perfect.

    1. About 140 million people, or 2% of the world's population, permanently live at or above 8,000 feet in elevation. -NIHS
    2. Not all elevations are identical in terms of air pressure, temperature, environmental conditions, etc. So what's the deciding factor?
    3. At any given moment, the average person is within 5 miles of an 8000ft topological rise.
    4. Nukes will kill almost anything, even Godzilla if you use enough of them.

    Also wanted to just say that A Quiet Place: Day One was awful imo. It had quite a few plot holes, it did absolutely nothing to progress the story, world building, or information about the creatures. I would’ve liked to have seen perspectives in different countries, or how the military responded, or NASA. Literally anything other than a lady in a city getting pizza.

    Stop sh*tting on the CGI. Do you have any idea the conditions VFX artists have to work under? VFX artists don't make huge salaries and get ZERO residuals, unlike the actors. They deal with shoe-string budgets, under staffed crews, terrible directors and ego-maniacs meddling with each shot, useless notes and revisions from the studio. It's hell. Quality takes time. And that is something no Hollywood film allows these days.
