A movie for the new generation

Rating: 4/10 (27 December 2018)

This isn't a terrible movie, it has a few decent aspects, as in the cinematography and a lot of the acting is pretty okay, especially Sandra Bullock. This movie has its fair share of problems however. To be honest going into this movie I was expecting another "a quiet place" which surprisingly this movie is nothing like, but still has a lot of the same problems. For example, where did these "monsters" come from? I understand movies are not supposed to spoon feed you everything which I enjoy, but they should give you some content to form theories on your own. In this movie, the "monsters" are just there one day and movie watchers nowadays don't bother to think about that stuff, just what is going on screen. Another problem is, how did anyone get anywhere in this movie without being able to see. Unless you were born blind, being able to suddenly not see wouldn't be that easy. We're supposed to expect a woman and her two children walked through a forest to a boat on the lake and then rode the boat without being able to see anything? Doesn't make sense. Why are some of the people who see these "monsters" turned into more of a cult rather than suicide? I like to think it's because they are already crazy and seeing these "monsters" just enhance that, but that's just my guess considering we're not given any information. A movie should have a good balance of telling you what's going on, and giving you clues to figure out what's going on and this movie doesn't do too much of either. There were a few characters I didn't care for and a lot of dumb decisions made. not the worst movie, but not much replay ability
