I don't get it... why so much praise?

Rating: 2/10 (1 July 2018)

...because, story wise, this is a hole big as a cartoon tunnel in road runner. Yes, Emily Blunt is a good actress, and have no problem to be expressive in given situation. But this doesn't help for this stupid premise of a movie. For start, not just an army, but civil defense would have no problem to eliminate these poor blind visitors. (how would they cope with even one tank, not to mention heavy armor piercing weaponry?)
Through the whole movie, they just randomly choose what sounds are "dangerous" and what are not. Walking through the woods full of dry leaves - no problem. Walking at home: super dangerous. Wooden steps are somehow completely silent. And happily full of sticking nails. Water flood in house somehow have no sound to be heard from...despite happening just behind krasinski? Wouldn't predator with such a good hearing be tweaked to hear breathing, or even heart beats? How do they physically hear things far away out of background wind/nature noise? And in area full of "monsters", kids are left to wander wherever they like. Wont spoil the story of movie, although really nothing to spoil. Maybe, just maybe - if they showed somehow affected isolated family with no means to escape the dire environment, ok. I was hoping for that kind, after watching trailer. But global apocalypse is just too plain stupid for that kind of threat right from the beginning of the movie. Anyhow, I was expecting something more intelligent, hence so high scoring, and good box office. Really don't get it.
