New addition Cillian Murphy, the GOAT of Danny Boyle's apocalypses (28 Days Later and Sunshine) is a good replacement for Krasinski's character- similar but different - a survivor that's slowly losing it. Just like in the first movie, the younger brother was one dimensional and had a constant freaked out look like he was going to crap his pants at any second. And it puts a spotlight on the stupid decisions the teens make that puts everybody in jeopardy. Unfortunately, the drawback of having the first and third acts be non-stop action, the middle arc drags and feels like a slog. The budget was clearly increased significantly so we get many more of those scenes. In fact every scene that features an encounter with the "sound-monsters" is gripping and intense. The opening sequence once the "apocalypse" begins is just fantastic. I normally would talk about "the experience of WATCHING a movie," but since I've started reviewing actively and losing my hearing, it's become the experience as a WHOLE - in my ability to be both immersed and entertained.Īnd boy was this entertaining. ![]() That personal experience was brought to life in the excellent use of sound - normal sound, no sound and the "sound of silence," sound from the perspective of someone that is completely deaf.

That was the biggest impression I had from the opening sequence of A Quiet Place 2.
