Didn't live up to the hype

Rating: 5/10 (25 December 2018)

The real problem was that I started watching the movie with high expectations due to the hype that was created around it. And I was really disappointed.
I really enjoyed the fact that most of the movie is in silence which brings a whole new perspective to acting and storytelling. There was so much potential.
I feel the letdown was the plot holes. Here's a few examples: How come this creatures wiped out the entire earth? You couldn't just shoot them? Why didn't more people survive in buildings that have already been soundproofed since I guess building more would make too many sounds. Why not live near or exactly by waterfalls? Create white noise?
How come a child is the first one to figure out that a certain frequency affects those creatures? Surely some brainiacs would have come to the conclusion that if a creature is highly sensitive to sound it will also be the weakness?
Too many open questions. Shame really because I really enjoyed the precipice of the story and the challenges of producing focused on mostly visual effects and the acting around it.
