Good movie with some minor plot holes

Rating: 6/10 (10 April 2018)

Firstly, I enjoyed the movie. The beginning minutes are suspenseful and intrigue you immediately.i thought the concept of having to stay silent was smart and could really propel the narrative. A quiet place had some jump scares and made me cringe with the nail on the stairs even though I knew it was coming which was a good sign.
However, the second half of the movie had me kept scratching my head. I will admit that I tackle movies in a very literal sense. I almost expect the characters to do what I would do in a specific situation using common sense. Having the wife get pregnant in a world after the fall of humanity is very overdone and almost lazy, unless the movie specifically revolves around that narrative (like the brilliant children of men.)
The biggest gripe I had was that the second half did a poor job at pitting the monsters against the humans and vice versa. We needed a definitive king in the power struggle. I find it hard to believe that no government entity or military would have been able to figure out that the weakness of the aliens was simply a high frequency sound. I know that in the event of an alien epidemic that many governments would find ways to capture aliens and test them to find specific weaknesses. Even worse, one of the newspaper article headlines were how they were "indistructable (if I remember correctly)" yet they get marked by a shotgun blast to the face. You know a military would go to war with tanks and heavy weapons that would destroy them if they can't handle a shotgun.
Don't go into this movie hoping that every litte thing will make sense. I am not a huge horror buff and tend to read into movies a bit too much. But I did think that if anything it was entertaining. It made me want to come on here and write my first ever review so if anything it made me want to talk about it after I watched it.
