I wanted to like it

Rating: 3/10 (21 September 2018)

I really did want to like it, and even after the opening where the parents leave a small boy out of immediate reach in such a dangerous environment, I told myself to give it chance. Unfortunately the movie is nonsensical and rife with inconsistent ideas. The rules of what the creatures can do and what they can hear seem to change constantly.
Most of the inconsistencies have been covered in other reviews, as well as the apparent no-brainer things that could have made life easier. I won't go into it again, but the whole thing really is pretty silly.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and I know that there are many people who liked this movie. That's fine. However, for me, the horrible inconsistencies and ridiculous decision making of the family made it just a bit too absurd for me to have enjoyed.
