Better than most reviewers want you to believe

Rating: 10/10 (4 July 2018)

Many reviews I read point out some flaws of the movie - which the viewers made up themselfes - just to have something to be upset about. Here are some highlights:
"Why is the woman pregnant? It's irresponsible and dumb to be pregnant in this scenario!"
Well you smart cookie... maybe they wanted to be intimate and had no protection? They didn't chose to get pregnant. Getting some protection is extremely difficult and dangerous. And even condoms can break / pills can fail. It just happened.
"The monsters would have been killed by the military because even a shotgun can kill them!"
Well you smart cookie... there is no scene that states that all military was wiped out. But travelling across the land to "go rescue people" is impossible with that kind of danger lurking around every corner. The family survived on their own. And so did other survivors. And so did the military. But the military can't act against such a fast and deadly enemy.
"The monster is not invicible beacuse the shotgun killed it!"
Well you smart cookie... the monster was in short distance with vital parts of its head exposed. It's a vulnerable position. If you look closely you will see that the monsters close their vulnerable parts when attacking. They only open them in quite places where they need more info. The skin is obviously impenetrable by bullets hence why the newspaper arcticle. Also if you use a gun - even as last resort - still means you are dead because many other aliens will follow immediately. That is also why the military would have no chance to beat them: Guns don't work when the monsters attack - and using guns just makes the situation worse by spawning more monsters. Yes maybe rocket launchers / tanks would be able to kill a monster. But shooting 1 rocket / 1 shell means: There will be 10 monsters coming from all sides at insane speeds to kill you.
"Of course ultrasonic sound works. It really takes over a year to figure that out?"
Well you smart cookie... it took THE FAMILY a year. No one states that others didn't find out aswell. And experimenting with the creatures is way too dangerous anyways. How would you even test it without instantly dying if it didn't?
"they could have lived by the waterfall"
Well you smart cookie... I imagine that the monsters will patrol areas of high ambient noise more often. Making the waterfall temporarily nice - but harsh to live by in the long term. Also: How would you build a "house" next to the waterfall without making noises and with a pregnant woman? Don't be rediculous...
"Everything on this planet makes noise, trees falling in the woods, rain on the ground, the damn wind. But these things can hear a picture drop on the floor and immediately show up to kill you? Ridiculous"
Well you smart cookie... Imagine standing on a busy street. Someone in a crows calls your name. Can you hear it? Of course you can. Because it doesn't sound like the rest of the ambient noise (people walking, people talking, cars driving, machines working, etc). I imagine creatures with a hearing ability as strong as the monsters can distinguis breaking glass from a falling tree. Also: No scene in the movie states that the monsters DON'T hunt down false positives regularly.
I could go on for hours. It's painful to read all the snobs bad reviews which state "obvious flaws" which just aren't. This movie made more sense than 95% of all other movies of this genre. Really well done!
The movie has weak points (the death of the boy at the beginning and the nail in the stairs) but was mostly on point and believable. Realistically the movie gets a 7-8 out of 10. But I hope to offset some morons posting bad reviews.
