People can't write dystopian catastrophe scenarios anymore....

Rating: 2/10 (30 May 2018)

Beautiful scenery and atmosphere. Yup, that's pretty much it about this movie.
There are now unbelievably fast monsters on Earth. They are blind, but have bat-like abilities to avoid standing obstacles in their hunting path. They have idiosyncratic hearing: typical sounds a hunting creature would search for are easily ignored, but accidental ones are heard from a kilometer away. Oh, they have idiosyncratic natural armour too: enough to wipe out the military but just fragile enough to allow them to be killed with a headshot when the "plot" would benefit from it....
So, the world is in shambles, monsters roam the fields but, mom, what's for dinner? Why, dear, we have bread! 'Cause the friendly monsters do not impede heavy machinery to work the earth to keep producing wheat, corn....and processing them into flour, naturally! They are only concerned when you sneeze. THEN it's hunting time!!!
A good thing is that dad, a farmer, can turn himself around into a hearing aid technician to repair his deaf daughter's faulty one. Such a capable daddy! It is a pity that, with all that newly found knowledge, he doesn't think of making a soundproof area in their home - and there is a subterranean room just asking for that.....also, a few traps with sound wouldn't be bad....right, daddy? After all, for some reason, there is still electricity to spare....and natural armour doesn't keep THAT away...but, alas...another idiosyncrasy....they have electricity BUT use plenty of candles and oil lamps....buuuuut can't figure out an explosive trap....
The river provides a sound mask....so why not create a louder sound mask and be able to again talk freely? Better yet, drive the monsters insane with targeted sound?
Oh, honourable mention: as of late, girls are always brave rebels and boys can only be sweet/frightened/dumb/plain stupid.
And then we come to the nail on the stairway...once it gets up, NOBODY thinks of putting it back down or pulling it off. It is allowed to stay there and wreak havoc, as it eventually does....
Well, anyway...you've been warned....only watch it if you have the attention span of a 5 year old. Then perhaps you won't notice all the holes and stupidity. But, then again, you wouldn't have read all the way through my little diatribe...
