My response to the criticism of this review: ruclips.net/video/jy-eDZkhljg/видео.html
YourMovieSucksDOTorg Respect
Read fascist philosophy, beat your girlfriend and lift heavy things. Good luck, I wish you well.
Adum urr so dummb fore hafing opinionz duhhh.
I feel in times of large of amounts of criticism that I do my part
Adam I love your work, though I may not always agree with your opinions I always find you entertaining in a way that allows me understand the way you do about a movie.
Continue to make awesome content and I looking forward to a collab with you and Ralph.
Hugo Peter You know he's literally gay, right?
The worst part was I couldn't finish my popcorn because half the time it was so quiet everyone would have heard it crunching.
LaFave Bros so if you paid for it you have the right to eat it
the people behind me were eating something so loudly it was distracting - is that my fault for allowing myself to be distracted? perhaps, yeah. But damn, dude - pipe down with that munching, you loud moviegoer!
So you're one of those people that have to stuff their face instead of just paying attention to the movie that you paid more money for, and a hell of a lot more people put work into than your damn popcorn. Cry me a river.
SAMEEEE
Oh man. That reminds me of that one biatch that was sitting close to me eating chips . I really wanted to punch her so much
My favorite scene was when Jim from the Office said "Golly gee, this place sure is quiet"
Too quiet **DUN DUN DUN**
This truly has been *a quiet place.*
Are we some kinda... Quiet Place?
I bet Dwight did something about it. Damn it, Dwight.
Then he gets tackled by 15 monsters
Honestly, the biggest problem I had with this movie is that the concept of the monsters makes absolutely no sense as portrayed. They are completely blind, hunt entirely by sound, and also clearly lack any form of sound-sense to serve an equivalent function as eyes, such as bat's echolocation or a whale's sonar, and yet again and again and again they are shown to be effortlessly running through forests, navigating houses, etc. without any difficulty whatsoever? How? They can't see! They have no way of knowing if they are about to run headlong into something or trip. Far from being these unstoppable killing machines, in actuality these aliens should have been pretty much completely harmless.
Btw the monsters themselves make sounds too, so they would basically attack each other all the time
@@derlangstemannauferden4016 That too.
Daniel Bernt they are aliens they might have some hive mind or something that makes it so they know when it’s one of their own species
@@plugshirt1684 how, exactly? Do they also have built-in gps? Being part of a hive mind doesn't mean they'd automatically be able to locate one another. (I wanted to use the gps joke because I think it's funny, but it made me sound like an asshole, sorry 'bout that)
Kickiusz it’s alright you make a good point but sadly the only answer I can really come up with is probably it just wasn’t thought of too much or maybe they have echolocation. A lot of the stuff in this movie you kind of just have to guess for yourself how you think it works the movie has quite a few plot holes but who knows maybe they just have some weird unknown abilities by being aliens or it just wasn’t thought that well through. Overall this movie is a great concept but they definitely could have made it better.
You know what annoyed me with this movie?
The fact that the aliens having super-tough skin made them impossible to defeat for earths entire military force. "Oh, we can't shoot it so we have absolutely no way of fighting them!"
Okay, so tasers, weaponized gas, SONIC WEAPONRY THAT EXISTS TODAY.
THE FACT THAT ELECTRICAL WIRING MAKES SIMILAR NOISE AS THE COCHLEAR IMPLANT!
You'd think the military fighting for the survival of mankind would go a bit further than "Fuck, guns don't hurt. Better give up then."
Napalm. Problem solved
I mean it would make sense if their were dozens of these creatures and they overran the military because they would think bullets work I mean sure we use other things besides bullets but considering their speed it would take more time to do all of those things compared to a gun. I feel like the sequel will answer more, since it was kind of vague where these creatures came from or why they didn't use missiles or heavier weapons.
@@manoneal1724 yeah but it's inside was exposed because of the sound that they were creating
@Matt B not solid titanium, no. These are clearly far more indestructible
These creatures survived their planet getting destroyed by a meteorite, and they rode pieces of their planet to earth. That's millions of years they survived in vacuum of space. So yeah, they are tough nuts to crack. That and the military responded with normal tactics, and when that failed, they were all dead anyway, so no time for plan b.
Having a deaf girl helps explain why they know sign language, but wow, I would think a deaf person isn't going to know how much noise they're making most of the time and would in fact be in constant danger.
Deaf people are taught noise control and what things make what sound
Hush is a much better deaf people horror movie
@@BAO-ve9pd that is not true as someone with deaf parents who also grew up around deaf people constantly I can tell you they are some of the noisiest people ever from not realizing they make noises or grunts while they sign to just accidentally making noise without realizing it in daily activities
Pretty sure she's hard of hearing rather than deaf, but I agree
@@limmiedee7405 when you get a cochlear they sever the connection from your ear drum to your brain and the cochlear does the job of the eardrum so it would render her fully deaf after the surgery
i like how you slowly shifted from calling him John Kransinski to jim
thats what i did when watching this movie
Dwight would have been smarter
I watched the office after I watched this movie now I can't un see it
He’ll never escape Jim
Identity theft isn’t a joke Jim!
Grain actually forms air pockets that people can sink in. The door distributes weight to prevent this. It's one of the few things they actually thought through.
yeah, when they spread their bodies out it would distribute the weight far more evenly across the surface which would prevent them from sinking. Like how the metal door thingy does.
@@_ikako_ you didn't need to elaborate on that, let alone elaborate on it worse
Yeah exactly. When he said he had to turn off his brain to enjoy it I was like "my guy, turn on your brain and use logic"
I grew up in an area with agriculture, and yeah silos have big warnings saying that grain, fertiliser, even flour can act as quicksand stacked up. It's pretty wild. Specifically says lay flat if you find yourself in a silo but many a kid has sunk to their doom in one.
@@trystenmawn6495 The problem is the 1 ton monster on the top of it that keep moving
When she shot the monster at the end, someone in my theater yelled "why didn't they do that to begin with?" and everyone laughed. As someone that enjoyed it, there are still so many inconsistencies and conveniences.
Same here! I liked the movie, but at the end of the movie the mom just obliterates the monster in one hit and I'm just like ".... really? That's all it took???"
@@smolsammichowo If you fire a shot and kill one, a dozen or more will hear it and come running. The difference by the end of the film was they had discovered a defense against them to stop from being insta-killed, so taking a shot was worth the risk since they can just blare those speakers with that noise and stop the monsters from offing them.
Without the discovery at the end of the film, they can't just walk around shooting them, they would inevitably end up over-run.
@@ForTheOmnissiah and they would eventually ran out of ammo too, if they are swarmed and they are heavily armed with guns, they could kill them easily, but if they ran out of ammo they are dead.
@@smolsammichowo The movie informs us that the monsters are completely invulnerable (they even survived a planet exploding and thousands of years in space). It's only because the feedback frequency makes them show their weakpoint that they can be killed. Yes, it's very convenient/dumb but it's not like it wasn't explained.
@@trucutru3 Ohhhh , I apologize, I must have forgotten this information , thank you for telling me this :) !
I find it hard to believe the military couldnt think of a single way to take out the creatures. They couldnt place some loudspeaker somewhere and place a bunch of mines around it?
I'd like to see the monster destroy a tank. Then i'd be slightly less skeptical... maybe.
@@Commandant64 then they need to show those monster destroy jet and helicopter too because no matter how strong that thing is, it can't fly.
Well since they were defending humanity, the military, law enforcement, etc. armed citizens were definitely targeted first so they had the most casualties. The weakness only occurs when extremely close to one of them and by creating a certain frequency. There's no time to develop a cohesive strategy and communicate globally.
I'm 100% sure that the very first thing that the military would do after finding out about that the monsters are sound based would be trying sound based traps or weaponry against them. It's almost insultingly stupid to think these monster would wreck the biggest military and the most armed population in the world. Just laughable.
@@IronFreakV not everyone would have the knowledge and power to make a loud enough frequency. Also people with guns would be targeted first cuz you know guns make loud boom.
Yms review format :

All youtuber review formats
Yeah to emphasize why he disliked them, cos that's why people care about these videos. Why would you point this out as if it was a problem?
It isn’t a problem he’s called your movie sucks 😂
Ik what you mean. If I stay around a channel like this too long I start to become bitter bc of all the negative content. I mean I don't get how people binge this stuff (let alone make a living making it) just has such negative energy ffs. But hey it makes him money so I get it.
@@geckowithshades2781 It also seems to be that some people also define their personalities based on what content they consume and how they consume it, so if a reviewer they like hates a film they like, it breaks their brain because... reasons? Like, people are not the same. That doesn't mean everyone is a unique snowflake, it just means that what people enjoy changes between each individual. "If I stay around a channel like this too long I start to become bitter bc of all the negative content", like... dude, be your own person. If just this ONE thing in your life literally changes your personality that much, that means you lack one to begin with.
"Don't make noise. We have to be safe."
Also parents:
- leaves batteries on the counter next to the toy
- leaves the youngest child in the care of their deaf daughter
- deaf daughter walks *in* *front* of him, despite having no possible way to supervise him at that point
Super contrived.
The mom went through the quickest labor ever
Yeah, imagine having to hold in screams for like... Even just more than an hour? Like a whole day would be hell.
I’ve noticed this in so many movies. It seems like accurately representing the time it takes to push a tiny human out of your body is too inconvenient for the pacing of the film, so women just drop ‘em and then walk away like nothing happened
Okay so one time my sister went into labor and my nephew was born in around 18 minutes. So I'm nos saying that the movie is accurate but. . .
Really? I was in and out in 30 minutes and it did not hurt at all.... I mean they were both scheduled c-sections with lots of medication...but still. ;)
@@rebekahtyler7406 Scheduled c-sections with lots of medication - both things that the mother did not have, brainiac.
17:31 Honestly the idea of permanently keeping the song Despacito blaring as loud as possible while on a constant loop to distract the creatures sounds like a worse type of hell than what the movie even presented.
it doesnt have to be despacito :(
Actually, constant loud sound(s) can be very negative to people's well-being. At my previous work I've had to work in a room with a server. And, of course, the server had powerful fans. I've got used to the sound pretty quickly. But when I sometimes was leaving the work late, when nobody was around and everything was very quiet, my head was ringing as if somebody inside was beating on huge bells. And then I realized how negative the constant sound (not even that loud) was for me.
@High Definition because you would also torture yourself...
If I had to choose a torture song I would probably pick "looking for freedom" by the Hoff...
Ironicly I was the 666th like
Theodore Hodbor k pop/billie eilish
So, none of the characters in this movie ever had to sneeze even once?
If you push up the tip of your nose you won't sneeze
Blocked oh my god you area godsend. now i won’t be the only person making noise during tests by sneezing obnoxiously loud.
That's quite dangerous though, since it might rapture some veins in your head due to internal pressure.
@@aphelionvoid4491 how so if there's no pressure build up in the first place?
Aphelion Void The sneeze never builds up. You feel the need to sneeze, but the actual reflex never comes. The feeling just fades.
My family calls this movie “The Nail” cause that was literally the scariest and most suspenseful part
@E . A Cinemawins does give a short explanation as to why the nail did that.
That sounds like the title of a B-movie that would air on SyFy.
I like how pretty early on the world discovered that the monsters have super sensitive hearing... and don't even try high pitch noises.
Simple gunshots would suffice, if imagine. If not, use 50 BMG or fire howitzer blanks.
The monsters are not afraid of high pitched noises.
@@transformersrevenge9 then wtf was the deal with the cochlear implant
@@pyrokineticfantasies8964 it didn't create a high pitch noise. That was just an effect that the movie used, to show how the aliens feel about it. Honestly there should have been very little sound in that scene where the implant is next to the mic.
@@pyrokineticfantasies8964 those implants don't create sound, they create electrical signals. The aliens themselves have been shown to have their own electrical field. Every time they walk near electronics, they go heywire. And well, they hate the electronic signals that the implants make, but when they get near it, they boost said signal, hurting themselves more. Basically it was never about loud noises hurting them, it was about a specific frequency of electrical waves from a custom built implant, that made them lose their shit, and open up that head armor.
I like how the mom never bothers to get rid of the nail or prevent it from hurting anyone else.
I would have loved it if the kids stepped on it too at the end.
ikr the daughter wasnt even looking at it when she was walking down the stairs. The nail is literally in the middle of the step, there was almost no way she could've miss it
It would be too loud. Have you ever tried to hammer a nail - rather, even just trying to get rid of a nail?
@@simplicity4766
A simple fix would be to get a chunk of wood, screw a hole on it, then place said wood on top of the nail by slotting it through the screwed hole. It's literally the first thing people do in a woodshop class to learn about when using screws and nails since they would split solid wood without making a proper slot beforehand.
Oh, sorry. I know almost nothing about woodwork or really anything else that’s related to it. I’ve tried to get rid of a loose nail, though, so that’s how I know about the whole “hammering nails” thing.
@@simplicity4766
The easiest way to remove a nail is to put a hammerhead's back to the nail and just pull. It might make a light 'plop' sound at most as long as you pull straight up so as to not bend the wood from pulling nail at an angle.
What bothered me about the nail scene was that the woman didn't bother to investigate what the bag was caught on. Like seriously, if I was hauling a bag up stairs and it got caught on something, I'd want to see what caused it.
Or how about after she steps on the nail, everyone still just LEAVES IT THERE?! Like, cover it up or something at least!
**foreshadowing**
So the whole movie was pretty much that one scene from monsters university then
No because in the scene they figured out how to trick the librarian and the rules in a only a couple moments, unlike this movie
The fact that no one figured out loud sounds hurt this thing is moronic. We literally have anti riot weapons that make loud noises! This thing would have lasted five minutes!
Also didn’t these things get grenades shot at them and tanks? Wouldn’t those make a lot of noise?
When the kids were on top of the grain silo and they were like, "We need to let Dad know we're up here," I was like, "just wave the flashlight around. The monsters are blind, they can't see it, so just wave the flashlight around until your Dad sees it."
Sigh this is exactly why I couldn’t find any fear in this film.
Sure those cliche horror flicks where we scream “don’t go in there” gives me a thrill, but those characters are dumb and are meant to die.
These characters are brought up to be survivors but they do such stupid shit like Adam says. I can’t be scared when I’m too busy baffled at stupidity.
But don’t you know you’re not supposed to use logic in a horror movie? That would make most movies less than ten minutes long
i didn't even see the movie, but i'm pretty sure that it's the kids being dumb not the screenwriters
the trailer has got a ton of cliches though, just giving my opinion
Dr Shaym i though we could do better than "Jump scare: The Movie"
I thought the purpose was that the kid thought they needed to save the battery of the flashlight. and it's not like the dad could yell to let them know he knows where they were so maybe didn't think it was worth it?
"A Quiet Place" will do for sound what "Jaws" did for the ocean.
"A Quiet Place" will do for sound what "YMS: Frozen" did for "Blank will do for blank what Jaws did for the ocean"
@@100billionsubscriberswithn4 you suck
"@@turtleanton6539" Does to jokes what "Inside Out Review - YMS" does to Pixar fans.
Except Jaws is actually scary
"can you not just tie some towels to your shoes?" oh man i laughed at that one. Hope i get meet adam after the apololypse one day, living in a mud hut down by the river with towel feet so he can fart as he pleases.
with despacito constantly blaring from speakers
The weakness of the aliens bothered me the most. I had one of those mosquito ringtones and would play them in crowded rooms just to watch the kiddos look around confused while the adults had no idea what they were talking about. The moment that someone noticed they were attracted to sound, someone would IMMEDIATELY test to see if a dog whistle worked against them. Seriously, if dogs go apeshit from that sound, pretty sure it would work for aliens too. That was as annoying as the first Easter egg in Ready Player One.
Except a dog whistle, or any other high frequency sound, wouldn't hurt them at all.
Yeah man... But you know what... I sure as shit would rather be watching Ready Player One instead of this pretentious garbage.
@@transformersrevenge9 I don't think you understand just how loud some of the sonic systems get. Vuvuzelas get to 127 db just on lung power, so pumping one with compressed air could vibrate the aliens' little fun-sacks all the way through their magic flesh.
@@williamchamberlain2263 and that would not hurt them. It would just piss them off, and make them want to murder the source of the noise.
@@transformersrevenge9 because they're _magic._
Deaf people would be the first to die in this scenario. Remember that deaf guy telling the story about how he loudly farted everywhere because nobody ever told him it made noise until his first gf told him when he was in his mid 20'?
No.
Dionisio Herculeo Persepoles, Unless someone tells them farting makes noises.
Yeah, according to my nurse friend, deaf people make quite a few noises they do not know they make, one makes a groan/growl type noise when you grab their hands, they may walk heavily, and some more things
Dionisio Herculeo Persepoles no
Dionisio Herculeo Persepoles I fucking love this comment
Wouldn't it super obvious that the monsters that have extremely good hearing would be weak to high frequencies. I feel we'd figure it out in a few weeks if not days/hours.
You kidding? If some conspiracies on American weapons testing are to be believed, then we'd have the means to pop these assholes' heads like balloons when that weird beaching of whales occurred.
Hours?! They'd be dead within minutes! A rat, flying or not, would make them commit mass sepuku every night! Not to mention...everything electric? Transformers are like the noisiest pieces of electronics ever created!
*Refrigerator starts*
*Immediate distant head explosions*
@@SpotTiger Anywhere near the Hoover Dam would render the bastards DEAD or DEAF. Hell, shove them in an Arcade, abd their heads would burst.
Yeah all they had to do is just lure them somewhere then blast some heavy metal and they're dead
@@b3rz3rk3r9 a direct Es energy weapon would probably do the trick
How can they run effortlessly through the woods and not collide with trees? Do they emit some sort of noise for echolocation? They're blind, so they must. but, wouldn't that also help them find the humans?
wouldn't the loud noises of the guns the military would be consistently shooting at them be too loud for them?
I know that this is a bit late but if a truck hindered the monster so much then how did they destroy tanks and armored vehicles
Except loud noises don't hurt the monsters at all.
@@transformersrevenge9 supersonic bullets cause high pitch noises that are mascarated by the "boom" so our ears can't detect so yeah the monster would be having a stroke
@@hdnfbp the monsters in this movie are not hurt by high pitch noises at all.
@@transformersrevenge9 sooo what hurt'em?
I know I'm probably not the first person to say this, but grain entrapment is an actual thing
Yep. I grew up with my granny and parents planting some veggies on my grand- grandparents ground and as kids- even though empty- we were never, ever under any circumstances allowed to TOUCH THE EFFING DOOR of the ( I think already empty) silo!
Or go down the wine cellar.
Or in the barn ( unstable, tools all up the walls etc ) or the hayloft (rotten woods, an 10 feet drop) and I knew danned well why and to follow these rules even though sometimes no adult was around for 4 hours, while they were storing food in the nearby home of my granny and parents.....
And I knew how SERIOUS this was even at age 5 or 6. My cousin 1.5 years older than me didn't always obey. I did. I didn't want to die alone there in methane gas or by a fall.....and they explained these things pretty well and I understood.
I was laughing so hard when at age 12 a lady asked me if a " city kid " knew what a sickle was. ....
I was like:" lady, I know the difference between a sickle and a scythe and even how to use them. Just because our 7k people village is considered a city, doesn't mean I don't know where milk comes from ! Ugh ! Cows are not violet ! I know! "
@@janedoex1398 7 thousand and it is considered a city? And you call it a village? Wot? This is totally a town, not a city nor village. Too few people for the former, too many for the latter.
@@bigshrekhornerI might have mixed up these two verbs , it was late and English isn't my first language , obviously.
@@janedoex1398 It's ok, I don't mind. It just seemed weird to me that a city would have that small of a population.
@@janedoex1398 I was going to give you crap for your grammar, but now that I know English isn't your first language. I've just got to say; your doing very well. What you typed was a little choppy, but it only takes two read throughs to understand. Very good English; all things considered.
Sometimes stairs like that are made upside down so the nails point up and get exposed as the wood weathers. Trust me it'd take a real Dingaling to do that, like the Dingaling who built my house for instance.
I didn’t like how the Aliens were defying the laws of nature. Chitin has its limits. Armour Piercing Rounds can break ANYTHING and if this creature’s Chitin wasn’t broken on the outside it WOULD STILL DIE!!! Air bubbles form underneath tough Chitin if projectiles hit it hard enough and would kill the “Angel Of Death” pretty quickly.
Even if the Chitin was made of some 20mm super carbon fiber, the pressure is just insane, all the energy of the bullets would be transfered and explode the flesh inside, they should've had some type of regeneration if not killed so it would be more believable
@@hdnfbp That's why I say to everyone that the aliens would've been killed instantly
A bit late but even worse, they die to the impact of the meteorite they came from. Biggest plothole in the whole thing. If they die to shotguns to their insides they'd sure die to a meteorite impact.
I thought it was funny that the mom gives birth in like 5 minutes.
My mom took 17 hours so she surely doesn't appreciate that either
*sees review is 22 minutes* Whoo boy...
I cant read “whoo boy” in any voice but adam’s
"How did the monster get underwater?" You see the monster dive underneath the water when she wakes up.
Pneumonox yes but how did it get inside? Lee/John put the mattress back over the bunker when he left.
The water from the slashed pipes was running into the room, the noise was new and interesting enough for the monster to investigate, and it probably pushed the matress aside or ripped it open.
I don’t know how the hell he missed that, they literally showed it entering
@@awfulcreature3224 I find it hard to believe that these monsters investigate every single new noise in the environment. Especially ones made by innocuous things like water.
@@DarthPRB I'll give you that, however if I've been prowling around somewhere long enough and suddenly there's a ton of water where there wasn't before, without any natural explanations like rainfall or flood, I'd probably want to investigate.
I know a fair bit of sign language (having taken three years of it in high school) and I can say that there are gestures to describe sound in the language. You can even add modifiers to express how loud or soft a sound is. There's no excuse as to why the father hasn't told his son that smaller sound can be drowned out with louder sound.
Heres another thing, if they have speakers on the farm why dont they use those as decoys if monsters approach the house?
Monster got in the house? No problem, just set off a speaker out by the silo to lure them away
Fun Fact: Drowning in grain silos does happen and is a legitimate danger. It is a phenomena called Grain Entrapment which can happen even in unconstrained piles of grain if they are large enough. Not sure if its quite as quicksand like as shown, but its a thing.
+G. Foggy. Eh, to be fair its a pretty uncommon thing nowadays at least, causing only around 20ish fatalities a year. Statistically speaking you are more likely to die slipping and falling in the bathroom.
G. Foggy. You are aware that most cases of people drowning in grain did so because the auger at the bottom of the bin was activated which would make a lot of noise?
The only other way is if there is an air pocket right underneath where you stand or grain bridging which is when spoiled grain clumps together over an air pocket.
Also even if any of these unlikely scenarios did happen the other kid would have never been able to help him out of there.
Someone submerged waist deep in grain would need the equivalent of their own body weight plus 600lbs in order to free them so...
Torin Riley oh fuck yes it’s that fast. It’s something about how there’s just enough air in between the kernels in there that it pretty much acts like water. Part of the issue is that it also kills pretty quietly too, as your mouth and lungs fill with corn or grain.
A shit ton of kids have died on farms this way
Torin Riley that’s because safety standards are higher now, and most kids who live in farm heavy areas get the whole “don’t fucking mess with the grain silo” speech
Drowning in unconstrained grain is a small time joke on the internet.
Thank god someone else has some common sense. My first question a few minutes in was "can you drown out the noise you make with natural noise? Why not live by the ocean or something?"
And then they ACTUALLY explain that YES you CAN do that and you're free to scream at the top of your lungs as long as you're near loud natural noise. So WHY in the world are the main characters not exploiting that? They know that they can! Never before has a solution to the problem the characters are facing been more blatant than in this movie. If the monsters track you by sound, the last place you want to be is a quiet place. You want to be in the noisiest place possible.
However, as for the guns thing, I think the movie made it pretty clear that the monsters' exoskeleton was impenetrable to bullets. On the wall by the whiteboard there are several articles and headlines saying that the monsters are invincible. And so what I think the movie meant to imply was that hitting the monster with a barrage of high pitched sound would disorient them and also reveal their video game weak point. Then you could attack the weak point for massive damage. I still don't buy that the monsters managed to destroy society before someone figured that out, but the suspension of disbelief for that is MUCH less than the disbelief that the characters aren't using the river to their advantage more.
I, like you, was totally distracted throughout the entire movie by that fact and it really did ruin the experience a bit.
I did think Emily Blunt did a phenomenal job acting though. For example, her face when the little boy turned on the toy rocket ship really sold how grave of a mistake it was.
TierZoo Love you as a person but someone in a comment above did make a good point. It'd be hell to avoid making noise that was distinct from the natural noises, even if they were louder. Not all sound is equal, which is why a single piccolo can be heard above eight trumpets in a marching band.
TierZoo TierZoo ily bb. Your channel is my life
Omg I did not expect you of all people here, Thanks for coming bb. Please notice me~
Holy shit it's you! Live your videos mate. Nice zo see that we have a common taste in content.
Btw. Did you ever concider making a video on geneticly engineered mosquitos? 'Cause it's some crazy stuff.
animals are pattern seeking. Sure you could buy some time like that but I imagine it wouldn't take too long for the creatures to distinguish between natural river sounds and unnatural human sounds. You could get away with dropping a single fish or yelling under the waterfall one day out of the blue, but I imagine that any consistent human action would be figured out. To me, there are bigger flaws in this movie than that one.
Ah the classic “no one in the entire world can figure out the weakness but some random ass kid manages to find it by accident” trope.
How exactly would a deaf person be good in this situation? They have no way to tell whether or not anything they do is actually making noise
Death by drowning in grain is more common than you would think. I live in a farming region, and we've lost some kids to it. By going horizontal on the grain, it makes it harder for you to sink in one specific place. It's like how they recommend to slide yourself back onto ice if you fall into a frozen lake instead of getting back on your feet. Also, the girl finds out that her ear device is their weakness in the same scene--the monster gets too close and the device goes off. Lastly, it wasnt the radio hooked up to the system--it was simply just a general speaker system which she held her ear device up to.
I love how you just causally say 'You've lost some kids in the neighborhood to drowning in grain."
It's freaking hilarious.
Joanna Newell hey yeah, why was the speaker set up like that? Imagine if a small noise triggered that feedback loop.
Ikr? I was wondering why they would ever need a speaker system to begin with
NaBi The Rabbit
I almost died from that too. As a kid I thought "Oh cool a huge pile of grain! I'm gonna jump into that!". Then I started to sink and couldn't get out. Thankfully, the farmer heard me yelling for help and got me out with a rope.
But how did she know it was the ear device?
I very much don’t understand why they were having another baby. There were pharmacies so they could definitely get birth control methods(if it was me, I would have used pill+condom). Based on my knowledge of human baby, they are incredibly good at crying. Why would you take the risk??
It’s possible that due to the monsters killing many they wanted to help repopulate the planet, but that’s just one idea
I think that they wanted another baby after their son/daughter were killed on the bridge at the start. That would be the only real reason.
its established in the film that they are catholic. Catholicism doesn't allow for any form of birth control.
ikr i just wish they changed the timeline a bit so maybe she got pregnant just before the creatures fucked up the world.
krod mandoon then they shouldn't have fucked in the first place!
Tbf, the premise works if you're willing to never question it at all ever
It's an intriguing movie concept because it creates a scenario where farting loudly has a high probability to kill you, and that's possibly the funniest thing I've ever imagined, especially because how prevalent canned food is in post-apocalyptic scenarios: just imagine the family runs out of fresh supplies eventually and the only readily available foodstuffs are baked beans and spam
The grain drowning thing is very real. Many farmers die each year from suffocating in grain.

Little known fact, where the movie is set is actually on schrute farms after Dwight had passed. Jim moved there to honor his friend Dwight and because Dwight literally had thousands of dollars of canned goods and beats.
If you want another fact, Mose was secretly the monster the entire time.

The director said that they wore no shoes so that they can feel out for anything that would make noise, whereas in shoes they would just put all their weight onto something without noticing, like leaves
Also, shoes wrapped in towels would work for like, *maybe* a week before they degrade. In fact, shoes are one of those overlooked things in post-apocalyptic movies. They degrade very fast with heavy use, so with no infrastructure, most people would be going around barefoot anyway.
What of socks then, thinner but still feeling and insulating?
Socks would fall apart in, like, a day of walking.
The only thing I can add is yeah, grain in a silo is actually quite dangerous. The dust is almost explosively flammable, and it's not unheard of for someone to get sucked into the grain, but they missed a crucial part of that. That, to my knowledge, is only a danger when the bottom of the silo is open, allowing grain to pour out, and making all kinds of unstable voids in the structure of the grain the characters would be standing on.
There is no reason they'd sink one minute and be fine the next, nor that they'd start sinking in the first place.
The nail thing.. there is a nail exactly like that in my house in the middle of the attic coming out of the floor and I wonder every single day how this happened. I'm guessing now it's just to get us killed when the monsters come.
“Jim and his son” wow the office reboot really is bizarre
I agree with almost all of what you said, except for one thing. The monsters have armor plating; the noise from the cochlear implant made them open up the plating on their heads and revealed their weak spots, allowing guns to become effective. One does have to wonder why that makes them open their plating to reveal their weak spots (presumably eardrums). Wouldn't they close up even tighter to protect themselves from the sound?
I guess the armor plating opening is them covering their ears. If I can compare it to humans, if we cover our ears reflexively we have no defense mechanism for that moment because both our arms are in use. I don't know how well that translates to these monsters my point is more when a creature of any sort defends from one kind of annoyance or pain they usually leave something else unprotected
It's unrealistic to think that the "armor" plating can stop high caliber weapons. The mere force of a bullet hitting these plates (that apparently can move) would cause some damage from the mere force of the plates hitting their organs.
RealMetalGaming not really I mean they’re alien creatures, earthly rules and physics don’t apply to them, so if the writers wanted to make the plates indestructible they can.
@@stopcake what is unrealist to me is that in about a minute i think it would become obviouse that the creatures are super good at hearing things...and that if a creature has super hearing then perhaps if you overload that hearing it may cause them to hurt. I mean jesus...its almost something that you would slap forehead and think "DUH!" but also as mentioned. using a sound system to trigger a remote controled sound from somewhere away from you..would be a good defensive system. i mean it was shown that they will stop an attack and goto another source of sound in mid attack. so wire up some alarms at all four sides of the property..if your near the east side and a creature gets close hit the west side alarm and make a run for it...i didnt think this movie was stupid...but it coulda been better by alot.
Is anyone gonna talk about cochlear implants being unable to emit sound at all?! The whole point of them is that they transmit sound to the cochlear by electricity and NOT sound.
The movie was super dumb. I mean come on, they can't see, they are attracted to noise, you can easily trap the monster in a old mine shaft by collapsing the whole thing with explosive after they get in. Humanity would have to be super stupid to be destroyed by blind monsters attracted by noises.
Also apparently there are only 5 of them?
I think they only took over because of their sheer numbers.
@@SupHapCak Or we see only five.

It's such a great comedy.

My brother reserved tickets for me and him for the premier at our theater...
Why?
Hey my dude, nice video. With grain in a granary there can be a "bubble" of air or rotten / insect eaten grain. So grain can collapse and suffocate people. Sometimes the grain can be 100% solid and it would be kind of like walking in snow, u don't sink in. So if the "bubble collapsed" then the rest of the grain could potentially be stable.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grain_entrapment
collapsing isn't the same as very slowly sinking deeper and deeper into it like quick sand.
@@Quandry1 "Like quicksand" is actually how it works. You have to be really careful if for some reason you have to get into a grain silo because you can end up getting slowly sucked under.
@@megg.4108 This is absolutely how it works. Grain silos are never something to be in alone.
Never quote Wikipedia lol. Meg explained it correctly what happened. And the reason they stop sinking as fast was because they spread their weight out. That is how you can maybe survive quicksand as well
@@vids2002 "never quote Wikipedia" was relevant in the early 2000s but has since been shown to have not only references, but constant updates to keep it a quality source.
Tbf humans can develop feet calloused enough for them not to need shoes, hence how we existed and hunted for so long before the creation of shoes haha
You're right, but his solution is better than slowly adapting your feet and gives less risk of you stepping on a sharp stone or perhaps broken glass that could cause injury.
cruziero15 and if you accidentally hurt your foot you’re likely to yell out in pain and make some type of noise.
he just said “unnecessary risk”
13:15 is just an incredible image
Robert Flinch top tier animation
Adam just hates good movies like Boss Baby
Yeah, and did you see his review of Ratatoing? He clearly just hates it to be contrarion.
Regarding the "why didn't the use the secret, soundproof room?", I think there was a scene showing him actually finishing it. So I don't think they actually had a soundproof room yet.
Yeah, the kids were sticking papers, i think they build it because the mother was pregnant, and the baby would cry obviously
I don’t understand why you would wait almost 2 years since this apocalypse started to decide to make a sound proof room, just because you’re having a baby? Surely it would benefit you whether you had a baby or not
RINA it was only 90 days right?
Zoggere it was 90 days for the kid to die at the start, then it was over a year later when the rest of the movie is set
@Ya Boi Tom so then it's a good movie all of the sudden?
I live in illinois and people die from drowning in grain. It does in fact act like quicksand irl. Maybe not exactly like the film but its similar.
Ah yes telling your children you love them one last time before sacrificing yourself is really dramatic
I didn't like it but the corn bit did make sense, they didn't sink the second time because they spread their body out, surface area innit.
thank you. Because without the logic of weight being spread out then he should've complained that the door should've sank
Ok but with the added weight of the monster, assuming it's fairly heavy, that should have pushed them down
Jurassic Tart I doubt it due to the area of the metal and the density of corn
But you can't sink in a pile of corns
丽王 you can sink in those silos. I've seen birds get in and disappear into the void of corn
The reason grain entrapment happens is because of voids (air pockets) that occur from basic physics and can crust over for some more structural integrity. Once they break. Watch out. You're covered in seconds. Once the pockets are filled, then obviously the flow would stop and there would be plenty of structural integrity. That part seems pretty real.
The rest of the criticisms I get. There seems to be a real misunderstanding of how sound works in this movie. Like creaks from basement stairs can be heard by these monsters? Then you're already dead because they can hear your heartbeat.
Mike Williams cuz ur heartbeat is that loud
Your heartbeat at least has the rest of your body to muffle it, though...
I have been in grain bins like that before. You don't sink unless you're a fucking idiot
I mean they are kids so that checks out.
I think the biggest science based criticism of this movie is the drop off of sound intensity over a distance. Sound drops off very quickly. Over a few dozen feet the creek of stairs would be quieter than a gentle breeze blowing through a tree near you. They said the creatures go over to the loudest sound so wtf why would they be scared.
This movie tried to be The Thing, where several characters actually are smart, but it turned out to basically be Alien if you replaced Ripley with a sock puppet.
Also on the whole idea of guns killing the monsters.:
It makes sense in-film that they don’t use guns, as you said the gunshots would attract more monsters, but on that same note, silencers and sub sonic rounds exist. For those of you who don’t know, sub sonic rounds make guns completely silent when paired with a silencer, otherwise guns still make noise with a silencer and regular rounds.
Wouldn’t the military and the main characters have ample access to these resources?
I can t watch anything with John Krazinski without thinking about Jim Halpert
post apocalypse Jim
The photoshopped replacement of the actual scenes 👌👌
Freida Wang beaurriful
Oh i thought that was the actual movie scene 👌
I'll admit, I was excited for this film when I saw the trailer. And when I watched it, I enjoyed it.
But then I made the mistake of thinking about it and discussing with with my wife. We agreed it's an interesting premise, but it falls apart too easily.
It's made abundantly clear that the characters in the film know the monsters hunt by sound exclusively. With that in mind, I find it INCREDIBLY hard to believe that they wouldn't have tried using high frequency sounds to try and fight the monsters at some point. That would be the FIRST thing I would have tried.
me: *carefully pays attention for when adam calls him jim*
I fucking flipped out when he said that
13:13 I lost it when you put that girl on the door and labeled it “monster”
It's hard to believe that the sequel is even worse.
Yeah we found the monsters weakness and easily can be killed now but still the monsters are threat because movie.
Bears. Beets. Badly thought out plot points.
I agree with everything you said for the most part about what you disliked in the film. Except the part about how the deaf girl figured out their weakness. Besides the cornfield scene where the creature runs away from her, there is a scene in the corn silo where the kids witness the creature running away from the noise caused by her hearing aid.
Vertigo Gnome and another scene when they're in the truck, the sound is piercing and she turns it off, monster immediately attacks.
It happened in the truck scene too. If anything it annoyed me that she didn’t figure it out sooner, so I was surprised Adam thought it made no sense she figured it out at all.
When she played the sound through the mic, wasn't it playing through the headphones? not "powered speakers" as adam put it? Adam seemed to get awfully upset about something that didn't even happen lol.
Did he also just not notice the fact that the "armor" around the creature's face lifted when the frequency was being played so the shotgun could work?
Oh hey, here's a question... why didn't they immediately use that super obvious weakness against the monsters?
I also sort of had an issue with when he talks about the monster in the water, we see him come from the room above down the stairs and into the water, as well as the room that they don't use they had short scenes showing the kids making the room by plastering the newspaper on the wall. Apart from that I had no issue with the review I enjoyed it but it doesn't mean someone can't.
I haven't seen the movie so I don't know the exact context behind the grain scene- but grain does actually work a lot like quick sand ! It's called grain entrapment/engulfment , and a lot of the cases of it do involve children. I could ramble on about it, but if you want to learn more on it just google "grain engulfment" and it'll lead to some good resources. Other than that- great video as always Adam !
Peachewi it only happens when the auger is on or theres a hold in the bottom of the silo. Which means it would loud as heck.
first of all knowyourmeme.com/memes/grain-entrapment second grain only works like that if the augur is on, otherwise it behaves like a solid. quick sand is a non Newtonian fluid, for your purposes horrible comparison, it reacts inconsistantly to different pressures, a person standing on quick sand will at first apply a pressure of m*g ( mass * gravity, 1 pascal = Kg m/s^2 or mass* acceleration) and then as they sink their body parts join the reference of the quicksand meaning eventually the pressure to make quicksand flow can no longer be achieved and they stop sinking. Grain is not a fluid at all its better to compare it to a beach, have you ever seen anyone drown on a beach?
That's false. My grandfather died in a grain silo, augur off. He fell from the top of the bin, into the grain and was engulfed by the corn. Suffocated. People knew he fell but couldn't get to him in time. In fact, the fire department had to cut the side of the silo.
Perhaps you haven't accounted for actually FALLING into it. Or maybe you were not trying to say that if you fell into it it would behave this way, and you were simply stating that if you were standing on it to begin with, you will not sink into it.
On another note, I have personally witnessed sinking into corn in a knee deep silo, starting from a standing state. If you don't move, you're good, however, moving frequently will cause you to sink. I will admit not quickly, but annoyingly if you are trying to get out.
First of all know your meme is not exactly a great reference for a debate. Second the first line on said website it "Grain Entrapment refers to when a person gets submerged in grain when the pile of grain they were standing on, like quicksand."
Third grain entrapment can also be caused by an empty space beneath the grain which causes the grain to practically collapse under the weight and consume whatever is above it within about twenty seconds. Also as I said before I don't know the exact context behind the scene so- just from what's shown in this video the augur could very much so be on, but even if it wasn't you could still very easily be engulfed. Also yeah people have drowned at the beach and its not the same at all?
His whole problem with the scene is how inconsistent it was. First its like Jello and swallows the kid, then a monster can play trampoline on the door with the kids under it and fuck all happens.
Basically, grain silos have a system or pipes underneath the grain that aerate the it so that it flows like a liquid and heavy objects fall to the bottom and don't contaminate it. The systems are called "fluidised beds". there are loads of videos of birds sinking into the grain in this manner.
This movie is a good example of how a really dumb script can be elevated by inspired direction.
The sequel is a good example of how a really dumb script can be made worse by uninspired direction.
Same director, too. I guess I know which one was a paycheck movie.
You make a few good points, but some of these are stretching pretty far, or forget information that is given to the audience.
The sound proof basement is established as something that they didn't know would work, and they built it in hopes that it would work when the baby arrived.
I don't think that was a silo hatch waiting to open, I think it was an old silo that gave way to weight because it was old.
The grain isn't acting like quicksand, it is acting like grain. They land feet first, and start to sink. When they are on the metal, it displaces all the weight and continues to do so when the monster lands on it. They are no longer at risk of "drowning" but of being crushed by the weight.
The water in the basement scene shows the monster come down the stairs, and before she even begins walking through the water, they show the creature lower itself into the water. She wasn't walking slowly for no reason, she was afraid of stepping on a monster that could rip her in half.
You missed a bunch of info up to this point that the movie gives the audience to set up future scenes, but this one is the worst because it is shown twice beforehand that the creatures are sensitive to her implant, and that builds to the end of the movie. The whole climax of the film made no sense to you, because you missed important information that the movie gives you? I understand some people stop paying as much attention to a film when they realize they don't like it, but these are your reasons for not liking the film, and most of them are solved by just watching the film.
Playing a song would work, like you said, if you are cool with living in a house that is constantly blasting loud music. The waterfall is a place that allows loud noise when you are next to it, like, right next to it. So the recording of the waterfall would have to be loud enough to drown out sound in every room of their house.
A very specific frequency hurts them, the feedback loop of that specific frequency played loudly right in front of them incapacitates them momentarily along with also removing the armor plates from its face. When the plates are removed, then they can be killed with guns. Even if guns just worked, with no extra steps, we have no idea how many of these things there are. If you kill one, good luck killing 12 at once.
I normally just give you the benefit of a doubt when you miss important info that makes your issue go away, but this has started happening a lot.
on you point about the grain - you don't simply "sink" into grain unless there's some sort of leak or hole at the bottom of the silo (or the auger which pulls grain from the silo is activated), in which case it would form a 'sinkhole' at the top of grain over that hole. not sure if that was happening in the movie since i haven't seen it.
The thing about the kids’ weight when they were in the silo is pretty obvious to me. It also works with water. You float much more easily when you are lying on water than when you are standing all straight. The grains could be assimilated to a fluid in this situation m. I am baffled that anyone doesn’t understand that.
I agree that he just really didn’t pay attention. But that’s pretty hilarious to me. Sometimes he makes those comments that are supposed to be scientific explanations to show that some scenes don’t make sense, and he ends up being soooo wrong. Like when he said that if it wasn’t for gravity people’s skin wouldn’t get saggy as they age. How stupid do you even have to be to say stuff like that? The fact that he didn’t even check that before uploading the video is even worse. I think he doesn’t understand stuff as much as he thinks he does which is dangerously arrogant because he is less likely to learn anything with that attitude.
Thank you for saying everything I thought should be said!
Live near the water. The film is sloppy.
Giovanni SWISH LORD
Stay at the waterfall for their entire lives? Away from good bedding, cooked food, Radio & sound equipment, etc. It pretty evident that they didn't just care about survival but wanted to maintain a normal life, hence why they had the baby.
My theater audience laughed out loud when John Krasinski put the baby inside the box.
Also when did John Krasinski and Emily Blunt have time to bang? Did they do it by the waterfall?
BattleUp Saber they used sign language for all the moaning and dirty talk
Went to see the movie with a friend and some of her family. I totally came to the same conclusion on the ride home, but they laughed and thought it was weird or dumb. Glad I'm not the only one who thought this though.
THANK YOU THAT'S WHAT IV'E BEEN WONDERING SINCE I SAW IT AGH!
Also why is the fucking box open when the water is everywhere?? Did the monster open it? Did John Krasinski just leave it open when he left?
Strangely enough that makes sense except for he fact that I’m sure they wouldn’t leave their kids alone like that unless they really couldn’t help it.
A Boring Place - that is a fitting title.

Pajamapants Jack Well to be fair some people do hate things sometines due to popularity alone like undertale, and usually use the fanbase to justify that view without playing or watching something and go off of what they hear.
But here adam view isnt popularity and that is very clear by how he explained it
The monsters can hear something dropping from a mile away... yet they can’t hear a persons heartbeat when they’re next to them 🤨🧐
they probably also have hearts that drowned it out

"if you go into a movie with your brained turned off what do you even like about the movie?" the pretty colors and loud noises
To be fair the grain would act like that, a decent amount of people die by drowning in grain silos every year in the prairies

@@noodle7725 bigger surface area
Super High Doug Judy naah, they should sink like the girl did, i call bullshit
RimaWatch Khadeir nope, bigger surface area means wider weight distribution, which means they wouldn’t sink. It’s the same philosophy as quicksand. You’re wrong
Alexandria Blue if the girl sinked they would both sink especially when they get pushed down, its just stupid writing nothing genius about it, just for the plot to go on
I think this was my first YMS video after wondering if anyone else was disappointed in this movie. I helped manage a theatre at the time and everyone was in awe of this movie and I felt..differently.
My favorite part was when jim and pam finally got together
Same
I was disappointed at how underutilized the visuals are for the actual storytelling. This could play out as a practically silent movie where the cinematographer could really go nuts on visual cues, colors, visual symbolism and so on to really have a unique modern silent film. Also, the music could have been used a lot better if they hadn't brought on Marco Beltrami (a composer whose only score I can remember one bit of was from the original Scream) and instead a composer who actually portrays complex moods in unique ways, even if it was Trent Reznor, Clint Mansell, or Jon Brion, the movie would benefit from a more talented composer.
The film itself is fine, there were some tense moments but mostly it just strikes me as one big missed opportunity. Maybe the studio would have had a harder time selling something that wasn't so safe and by the numbers, or maybe Kraczinski being a new director either resulted in him not being allowed to be ambitious or being too afraid to be ambitious. Either way, I saw this movie twice (only because two different people I know wanted to see it) and I'm likely never gonna watch it again, it's pretty dull once the novelty wears thin.
I didn't realize this was supposed to be scary. I went into it as a creature/character piece. I really liked it but if I'd gone into it expecting scares I may have been dissapointed.
"A Quiet Place" is just "Tremors" without talking. Change my mind.
Chase Wagner Damn.
It also doesn't have national treasure Kevin Bacon
Chase Wagner More or less but Tremors has more going for it than this movie does.
Lol I miss tremors
Well tremors is good so I'm not sure it's an entirely fair comparison
Stop disliking things I like Adam. You're not allowed to have a different opinion on things that are popular, you're just a hipster that's trying to be edgy and cool!
I see you everywhere
Dude you are absolutely everywhere. Starman is not only in the sky, he's everywhere.
I dislike this review. Bye!
Playing constant noise over the speakers wouldn't work. The monsters would come to the noise and destroy it. They can't destroy a river, so they eventually ignore it (or they recognize water and learn that it's not food). A lot of good points by Adam but some could use a bit more thinking through.
it destroyed the TVs in basement so they would destroy the speakers too...
If some of these "solutions" presented by Adam to resolve the issues he had with the film don't make sense, it's at least debatable that the reason for those solutions is because the film didn't explore those ideas very well to begin with.
Could you build some kind of protection around them? I haven't seen the movie, so I don't know how smart/strong they are, but it seems worth trying.
Your reviews are great, Adam! Keep up the great work! Nailstairs!!!
