I Don't Typically Rate Movies 10/10

Rating: 10/10 (24 July 2018)

I don't typically rate movies with anything higher than a 9. There is always a flaw or two that you can't overlook. But I was so engrossed in this movie that I can't think of any flaws in it. There may have been some, but the movie was so intense that you're just trying to survive the ride.
And what a ride it was! The acting was excellent. You felt invested in the characters' lives. There were no weak links.
And Krasinski did an excellent job as director and co-writer. The movie was tightly edited, well written and never left you twiddling your thumbs. Every camera shot and every plot point was purposeful.
The monsters were also well done. They were scary. They were deadly. And you hoped the humans never came face-to-face with them.
Wow. I can't say enough good things about this movie. I was worried that it would suffer from the "couple curse"-- where a couple who is married in real life would ruin what would be an otherwise great movie. But Blunt and Krasinski did a fantastic job.
