Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe large majority of the scenes set in New York City were filmed in London. The film's crew built a rough replica of NYC's Chinatown vicinity on a London-area backlot for filming most of its early scenes, and many of the scenes set in the NYC Subway were filmed in various now-closed London Underground stations and tubes. The one major scene filmed on location is outside one of the film's few named locations: Patsy's Pizzeria in Harlem. The rest is mostly second unit & VFX work.
- GoofsThe military blow up the bridges to prevent the aliens from getting off the island despite the fact that the aliens are already on both sides. They were in fact blowing up the bridges, so boats could sail along the river, without the risk of creatures dropping from the bridges onto the boats.

[last lines]
[Eric reads a note he discovered in Sam's cardigan he wears that once belonged to her father]
Samira: [voiceover] Eric, you better take care of my cat. Don't rub his belly. He doesn't like that. And don't feed him too much. He'll get fat.
[Sam is shown walking alone listening to "Feeling Good" on her iPod Nano attached to a boombox she carries.]
Samira: [voiceover] And thank you. Thank you for bringing me home. Thank you for helping me live again. I had forgotten how the city sings. You can hear when you're quiet.
[Sam gazes around the abandoned Harlem one last time.]
Samira: [voiceover] It's good to have been back.
[Sam unplugs the earbuds which results in the creature to appear from behind.]

'A Quiet Place: Day One' builds some tension well and features very good sound design, though the story and its characters are a disappointment. I have no issues with Lupita Nyong'o and Joseph Quinn, they try, but Sam and Eric are written quite boringly. I felt like we were missing some major character development for both.
The plot is rather underwhelming. There is some additional meaning in there admittedly, but it's literally one lame objective and then the standard styled exit. It felt whilst watching that the movie had barely any flesh on its bones. The cat stuff is cute, though the obvious lack of true jeopardy for Frodo even hampers that from hitting for real.
There is at least a pleasing use of Nina Simone's Feeling Good. Overall, however, this left me feeling extremely meh, unfortunately. I am, it is worth noting, someone who doesn't love the original two movies; though I did like the first flick just about enough.
