A promising film with the cast. Starts off well with the anticipation of ‘ the end of the world’ with the oil tanker crashing and then not being sure what the owners of the house are up to. For me though this film offered neither the fast paced, destruction you get in most apocalyptic movies ( why are they strangely enjoyable?) nor the physiological aspect in how humans behave when disaster happens( the scene with Kevin Bacon was like all of The Walking Dead squeezed into 10minutes). I felt the acting was slightly below par but this was probably due to an awful script. Needless scenes thrown in( GH and Amanda getting drunk, dancing and resisting infidelity, again, in a forced 10 minutes). Also the ‘reverse’ racism towards ‘white peoples’? I’m not American so maybe don’t understand the complexity but is that acceptable now? Shouldn’t all racism be unacceptable?
I watched the whole film and I wouldn’t say it’s not worth it but don’t have too many expectations- A Quiet Place it is not
