Quality move -- lacks premise

Rating: 5/10 (8 April 2018)

The various scenes were well done, suspenseful and entertaining. However if one takes a step back, you may quickly find the story severely lacking logic.
What the heck is a huge cornfield doing at their homestead? Growing corn is an extremely noisy endeavor. But somehow, this family - who cannot make any noise, managed to not just plant corn, but acres of it -- for what? They obviously didn't have any livestock. Someone breaks a jar in the basement and sheer panic sets in -- yet somehow the corn got planted.and harvested? A cornfield in this setting is laughable.
Beyond corn, how did they manage to accumulate and maintain the extensive surveillance equipment, not to mention the steady supply of electricity to run it? One can only surmise, once the aliens attacked, Amazon no longer delivered.
And those terrible aliens, always lurking within striking distance; as so aptly demonstrated for those unfortunate to "be noisy". Yet, we frequently see the family waltzing through the field and woods as if to the Sound of Music. Not a care in the world --as if running barefoot eliminated any chance of an alien encounter.
So yes, while I enjoyed the movie to a certain extent -- I kept coming back to the cornfield! Some movies need a cornfield, but definitely not this one!
