It's a very innovative setting. The monster falling from the sky has no vision. It only moves by hearing. It moves quickly, and the armor is hard. The only weakness is when the head is opened. In order to survive, one must live quietly, not speak, and all movements must be gentle, otherwise it will easily lead to death.
The beginning of the film is more than a year after the invasion, showing the audience the daily life of a family that has adapted to a silent life. There are no lines, only movements and eye contact, and monsters that may appear anytime, anywhere make the whole film look depressing. Every time the monster appears, it is very scary, and the actor's acting bonus adds to the tense and exciting atmosphere. If you watch it in a movie theater, the audio-visual effect should be great.
The four leading actors have almost no lines, but their acting skills are very good. They do not appear pale because there is no language communication, but instead let the audience in front of the screen hold their breath and immerse in it. The father is the backbone of the family. He has been working hard for his wife and children, and finally died to protect the two children. The mother is gentle and firm, and finally took up the gun and fought the monster for the children. The sister has always felt guilty for the death of her little brother. Finally, he discovered the weakness of the monster and fought with his mother; his younger brother also grew from cowardly and timid to a strong and brave child. The mother's actor's acting skills in the scene of giving birth to a child were outstanding. With only his eyes and expressions, he showed the fear, panic and pain to the fullest. The scene of holding a gun at the end of the film is really amazing.
The shortcomings are also obvious. The biggest problem is that the script does not stand up to scrutiny, and many plots contradict the original setting of the film. Sometimes in order to promote the plot, human beings are forcibly deceived, for example, in such a highly tense atmosphere, they can still conceive and give birth to children. The story begins inexplicably and ends abruptly. I feel that the main creator thought of this idea and wrote the script, but it was shot in a hurry without polishing it well. The director wants to make a series, so many things have not been explained, and it is also possible that they have not thought about how to write the next story. If you can explain some details, the feeling of watching the movie will be much better. For example, monsters are sensitive to that kind of sound, how much decibel will summon the monster, and how much decibel is safe. Although there are 2 now, the audience at the time was unaware, so there is a reason for the low rating.
