A Quiet Place 2 manages to overcome the difficulties of producing a quality sequel to an already fantastic original movie. Taking what was so great about the original movie, this sequel again builds tension using audio amazingly well along with a solid story and smart cinematic sequences that led to me thoroughly enjoying this movie.The GoodThe audio track is brilliantClever cinematographyEngaging acting and storytellingThe BadAliens feel less of a threatVoices are sometimes hard to hearBasic physical packagingThe one thing this movie does very well is it makes you feel for the characters, you truly understand their struggle to survive in this apocalyptic world. This helps you get fully involved in the movie, you find yourself willing them on, wanting them to reach safety. Especially Regan Abbott from the first movie who plays a much more mature protector style role who wants to do her bit to help her family after losing her father.The storytelling and cinematography in this film are 1st class, with transitions and filming all flowing very well together when you jump between the story paths of different characters. At times it is a very pretty movie, despite the circumstances, the characters are in.The favourite thing for me about these movies is the audio, and the sequel did not disappoint. The times where audio is completely cut and everything is silent is not something you get used to in a film and it really gives you an idea of how it must be for Regan with her hearing disability in that world. Once the action starts the audio stage really ramps up and sounds fantastic on my 5.1 surround sound, this is a movie that demands the volume to be turned up. The only thing I would note is sometimes voices can be a little difficult to hear.Finally, the one thing that makes this film lose its appeal to me is the feeling that the aliens are a threat to the characters. Near the end of the film, you learn of something that makes the universe less believable in my eyes. To avoid giving away too much that is all I will say.For physical collectors, the packaging is rather basic. You get a slipcover with a 4k and standard Blu Ray disc that does not feature any artwork.
Strange concept for a movie where the actors don't talk much to avoid getting attacked but it wield works and built the suspence. Family enjoyed watching them.
They may be teenagers, but that doesn’t stop the need for mummy intervention. My boys refuse to use the ear thermometer (they are too sophisticated …), and this is a perfect non-invasive alternative. Obviously I follow up with Calpol, just don’t tell anyone…! 🤭
I bought the first one and then this one as the new one is out in cinemas soon. It was alright. I didn't enjoy it as much as the first but, I am glad I watched it before the prequel.
Sequels rarely live up to originals. And A Quiet Place was a sleeper hit that resonated well with audiences. So A Quiet Place 2 has big boots to fill. Unlike Millicent Simmonds who it seems doesn't have any. However, luckily this is a sequel that sticks to the winning formula of the first.
All of the original cast return. Either in present day or flashback. And Krasinski (Emily Blunt's real life husband) is back behind the camera. This is his fourth film as director and its clear that this is a smart career move. He has crafted a taut, well paced, intense sci-fi/horror thriller that combines the best elements of the original with a bigger budget. This enables the story to expand in location and adds a couple of bigger names in Cillian Murphy (very good) and Djimon Hounsou (good).
Other than an opening that shows how it all started in Day 1. The action picks up at Day 474 and chronicles the Abbotts journey from the ruins of their former home to find a safer refuge and other survivors. Still grieving the loss of husband and father they find a kindred spirit in Emmett who has lost both son and wife. Midway the story splits and Regan (pursued and eventually aided by Emmett) journeys on to seek a possible haven. While Evelyn battles to keep her injured son and newborn baby safe from the ever present monsters.
The whole apocalyptic, survivalist, alien invasion, has of course been done before many times. There are plenty of them on Netflix for example. I should know, I've watched most of them. And many of them are pretty good too. However, in my opinion this film (heading into franchise territory) is one of the best out there. The CGI has been kept to a minimum. Essentially just the creatures. While the film itself has focused on the love and self sufficiency of the tight knit family unit.
If you've seen the original then watching this is the obvious move. If not then you really should curl up on the sofa, put the popcorn on, and spend an evening with a real quality double feature.
Chegou imaculado. Muitos extras. Com legendas em várias línguas (Mais do que as que estão mensionadas na página e na caixa) inclusive com legendas em português. Recomendo por completo
Premettendo che ho adorato il primo capitolo, devo dire che questa seconda parte è a tratti anche meglio. Fungendo sia da sequel che da prequel, approfondisce e allarga la storia presentata nel primo episodio, rimanendo sempre coinvolgente e ricco di suspance. Assolutamente consigliato!!
