Day 1
Evelyn (Emily Blunt and Lee (John Krasinski)Abbott, along with their daughter Regan (Millicent Simmonds), and son Beau are at their son Marcus’ (Noah Jupe)baseball game in Millbrook, New York. When suddenly the sky is filled with what looks like an incoming meteorite. The game is quickly called and everybody disperses and is told by the police they should probably go home. Before people can get out of the main street, Aliens start attacking the townspeople and anything that makes noise. Chaos and sheer terror ensue and The Abbott’s are separated. Evelyn, Marcus and Beau end up in the middle of the street behind an upside down Police cruiser. The camera zooms in on Marcus holding his hands over his ears and grimacing in terror. And fades away to…..
Day 474
The end of A Quiet Place where Marcus is holding his hands over his ears and grimacing in terror behind the water heater. Evelyn, Regan, Marcus and the new baby decide to leave the family farm and head to the nearest signal fire Lee had documented on a map. They make it there and find it is tended by their old friend Emmett. Regan and Marcus find a radio channel broadcasting the song Beyond The Sea repeatedly. Regan figures out it is a message being broadcast from a radio station on an Island just off the coast and decides she needs to go there with the earpiece her Dad made. They have discovered that it severely hurts the aliens and she wants to use the Radio signal to broadcast the noise and destroy the aliens.
After she disappears by herself, Evelyn convinces Emmett he must go and bring her back. Emmett does and catches up with her but is convinced by Regan to help her get to the island so they can broadcast the signal and save humanity. Evelyn leaves Marcus alone with the baby to go back into town and get medical supplies and Marcus is left to fend for himself against an alien. And from here it really gets intense as Regan and Emmett try to make it to the radio station, Evelyn tries to get supplies from town and get back to Marcus and the baby, and Marcus tries to keep an alien from killing him and the baby.
This is an edge of your seat thriller. I found myself jumping at times when things happened unexpectedly. Again Emily Blunt, Millicent Simmonds and Noah Jupe do an excellent job. Cillian Murphy as Emmett is a nice addition to the cast and story. The Aliens seem even more frightening in this one than they did in the other two movies. The last half of the movie where they are all on different quests gets extremely intense. I think this is my favorite one yet.
Excellent Sci-Fi Thriller!
Two Thumbs Up!
