GREAT MOVIE...with minor flaws

Rating: 8/10 (7 April 2018)

I'll start off by saying the beginning intrigued me with how the family had adapted in only 3 short months to this dangerously risky new world. It was definitely different how the sound went from wind and quietness and when the camera panned to the deaf girl to absolutely no sound at all. It's minor things like that that make the movie so much better. Off the bat you feel bad for the family after an event during the beginning, and a year later they're still focused on what happened. The overall concept of the story was amazing and well executed from beginning, middle, and end.
The flaws: What I found just slightly annoying is how the movie is mainly silent, but when a sound is created it is extremely heard out of proportion, as if it was boosted 10x louder (because it was). A lamp doesn't make the sound of a mini nuclear bomb when it's tilted over, and I understand the goal was to make it seem tense, but it could have equally been tense with how knocking over a lmao actually sounds
Other than that, the entire movie captivated me from beginning to end. This movie in 30 years will be watched by my children because of how different it was. I liked how this film didn't need a lot of dialogue to be action packed and completely understood while your hanging off the edge of the seat.
How it ended could be debated but it still works with the story so I am okay with it.
