Not bad but not good either

Rating: 5/10 (8 April 2018)

I didn't enjoy this movie but I did think the actors did a good job with the storyline they had. Very improbable plot which made me cringe. Some observations...
1. Why didn't the humans simply use noise over speakers to keep the monsters at bay? If they couldn't figure that out, them why not go live by the river where that noise would drown out the human noise?
2. A monster can burst through the heavy metal side of a grain silo but can't break into the cab of a pickup?
3. The story takes place over a year since the onset of the monsters. How did they plant acres of corn? By hand?
4. They had electricity to light thousands of light bulbs but had to use a lantern in their living quarters. Why? And where did the electricity come from? Generating electricity causes noise and you need people to accomplish it. It doesn't just come quietly from thin air.
5. If a shotgun can blow the monsters heads off then why not hide, ambush the monsters and kill them that way?
6. This was partially addressed in the film but if I lived during a time when any noise could bring imminent death, I sure as heck would not let my child walk alone far behind the rest of the family.
But the actors did do a good job especially Emily Blunt and Millicent Simmonds. And the direction was good. Just a terrible storyline.
