I'm going to see this movie on Tuesday and I am So Pumped!

Isn't Reynolds older than both Krasinski and Blunt?
AsidRayne1245
It was soooo goooood!!!!
penguGiraffeLord
I liked the part when the grain was quicksand but when the monster came the grain suddenly stopped being quicksand.
IndefinetelyTired
Just...don't celebrate too loudly, okay?

I sneezed loudly like 15 minutes in, I felt like everyone was glaring at me

Just got home from watching this movie. It was really good. Very well done , it’s so quiet you can hear popcorn getting eatin all around
ZKrock
Too much Imgur jizz on this, probably gonna pass.
Jncat
It's worth watch for free.
TwirlingDaisies
I saw this movie last night. I really was disappointed. But I went in expecting a scary horror movie not a bad family drama. Might have felt
TwirlingDaisies
Different if I knew what I was in for. But it is a creative scifi film. Reminded me a lot of Signs by m. Night shyamalan.
sourpatchkiller78
It was well done as a movie overall. Questions were raised for me. not the point of the film but fascinating nonetheless..
ItsFRONKENsteen
I just want to know how they planted all those perfect acres of corn.
BobTheGiraffe123
when hiding from 6' monsters maybe you grow wheat
JodyHighroller
"Congratulations, Ryan" - didn't he mean to say "John"
ILoveWings
I thought the same. Maybe he meant "Congratulations, from Ryan"
JodyHighroller
Oh, true. That should've been obvious now that I'm thinking about it.
HmmUmmOk
Why did he congratulate himself?
belalugosi86
So so good! It's been a while since I've been impressed by a horror movie.
nonamejanie
Chris Pratt was going nuts on his IG video about it yesterday.
Imateddybear
Heading to see this in 15 minutes. I’m really looking forward to it now!
SLPsRockTheABCs
Is anyone bothered by the fact that cochlear implants are not correctly depicted? They don’t emit sound at all! They are mics and
SLPsRockTheABCs
Processing units that change sound into signals sent to an electrode array in the cochlea. There is no speaker. The don’t make noise!
aclarko
Is that different than hearing aids? Worked at an old folks home and randomly would have some issue with high pitched noises
SLPsRockTheABCs
VERY different. Hearing aides boost the decibel level of sound. Cochlear implants change it via processor to electric impulse that affects
SLPsRockTheABCs
specific frequencies in the cochlea. Those frequencies activate your auditory nerve carrying the signals to your brain that are
SLPsRockTheABCs
interpreted as sound by your brain. Basically a cochlear implant bypasses the middle ear. In a hearing aid, ringing is feedback from mic.
GoodGameYoungLad
You forget in Hollywood land anything is possible
ikindacarebutimostlydont
It's good for what it is. It's a small story about a family trying to survive. No miraculous saving the world stuff or anything crazy
pineapplepuppy
I'm watching it with friends this weekend, nervous because I'm antsy with ghosty/demonic movies.
woolyworm53
Don't worry, I'm the same way. It's not demonic or ghosty but it is terrifying and amazing!!!
Delyruin
I wouldn't call it "horror". I'd call it "suspenseful"
TXMedic
Not really scary either. Good movie though.
AlexanderBlackX
Tense is a better word for it.
Mercenarity
MakeItAnAwDamnMoment
AntzInMyEyezJohnson
Amazing film but my anxiety was up the entire time.
zereps
I’m the same with ghost/demons! This is the perfect type of movie I like to see that’s scary/suspense but none of the spirit stuff.
Faynine
It's so great! Very well done
whatiswrongwithyouppl
Its closer to suspense than horror in a traditional sense. Horror movies try to shock you with deep rooted phobias and irrational fears 1/2
whatiswrongwithyouppl
Where as suspense creates a tense atmosphere with a more mobile story line, this movie is easier to watch than say the Conjuring or Sinister
AmActuallyACat
Bf and I saw it today. It was really fucking scary. I've only seen 3 horror movies since 2010 and this was worth it
DukeLion
Name the other 2 pls
AmActuallyACat
Paranormal activity and insidious
AmActuallyACat
So I guess that was 2007? I could have sworn I was a sophomore in hs when I saw that but maybe not.
DukeLion
If you ever need a movie suggestion drop me a message. I thinke most of my friendships exist because of my film/tv geekness.
TheWizardSendor
It's not ghosty or demonic. Nothing supernatural at all. It's like a creature/alien/monster deal. Suspenseful/thriller-type of scary.
istealeverythingfromtumblr
Neither am i, but I just left the theater and I can't recommend it enough
littleasianninja
Good, they're aliens so you're in the clear
JustSomeGuyNamedScott
Thanks. I was planning to see it and wonder what was after them. I'm glad I had someone to spoil that they're aliens though.
littleasianninja
They just called them "aliens" in the interviews when talking about the monsters, so not sure it's a "spoiler"
JustSomeGuyNamedScott
I haven't seen anything about this movie other than the single review I watched and even he didn't mention they're aliens.
littleasianninja
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmSTHI1UiBU - 45 sec in he says "creatures not from this planet" so maybe not aliens per-se? Dunno.
CamelSpotter
I don't believe it qualifies as a spoiler so long as it isn't a plot critical detail. Does the information come from some sort of twist?
techpariah
SPOILER: Comes from a newspaper title with only a few seconds of screen time. Where they're from isn't important, just they aren't friendly.
CamelSpotter
If the origin of the monsters isn't even an issue in the film, then you're perfectly fine. For all I know, they could be explained via text.
tmot
I don't watch any movies with demonic stuff and was want going into this one but trust it was an amazing movie! Just monsters and suspense
tmot

KinokoQueen
See it!!

Don't be nervous, small fruit dog, all will be well. It was amazing.

It's more of a thriller. I hate horror movies but enjoyed this. The fear didn't carry on after the movie.
ThePotatoBandit
SPOILER IN REPLY TO THIS COMMENT
ThePotatoBandit
honestly my only fear at the end of it was how was that baby gonna get vaccinated
hildegardiansofthegalaxy
That’s very reassuring. Thank you! I’m not generally a fan of scary movies but have heard so many good things about this.
anugg
I don't like scary movies also but this one was fine.
Amostostic
Don't fart. Had someone fart and it could be heard by the entire room.
DukeLion
'Don't Fart'... That's the prequel to 'Don't Breathe'?
bababababababababananaboo
Get out
DukeLion
That was a good movie too
gizmoduc
The Nail.
beanwoods
Just saw it today and I was so amazed by it! For once I was able to go to a movie and not have anyone in the audience talk during it.
ringwood
Had an obnoxious "RUN DUDE RUN ON SHIT" dude in the audience. Ruined the whole movie
MsMax75
I saw it this afternoon. The people in front of me were laughing. I was really annoyed. But when it ended I heard them talking. It was 1
beanwoods
There were about 3 different times I majorly jumped in the movie, with a few minor jumps.
MsMax75
There were good jump scares. I was just a impressed by the overall tension even when things seemed fine.
MsMax75
A lady in her sixties. She was saying how much she hates horror moves and how scared she was. Must have been nervous laughter. 2
MsMax75
Made me less mad about it.
ButtsandBewbs
People talking about hype and viral marketing. This is the first time I ever heard about this movie and I have no idea what it's about.
thedeathstarwasaninsidejob1
I feel like I should go see this movie tonight before the week kicks off.
QueenAmy
I feel like I should see it on a Tuesday morning so I have a whole day's daylight to wash away the scary ideas
xzxw
It's not terribly scary. It uses tension instead of jump scares. It's got some good scares in it but for the most part it's just tense.
xzxw
Really, really good though. Doesn't need jump scares to be effective.
AssCreamSundae69
Bro I promise the movie is not scary. I slept with my feet sticking out of my blanket right after watching it.
QueenAmy
Woah! We got a bad ass here!!
QueenAmy
:)
ILieForPoints
Daylight won't save you, my friend.
SugarSpellitOut
It felt like a bad M.night Shyamalan movie with no twist at the end. Lots of cringe worthy moments for me. Spoilers in next comment...
SugarSpellitOut
Creature was styled similar to a Demogorgon. The stupidity of having a child considering. The old man, the white board etc..it was bad. 5/10
FatBastardVegetarian
Dang, Sugar... everyone likes it but you?
Jncat
I didn't care for it.
citizenkayt
"Ryan Reynolds liked this"
JanitorsApprentice
The highest honor
Elonth
Knowing ryan his kid probable came home to his stuff in a moving van waving goodbye as he pulls up.
ikindacarebutimostlydont
If you watch it go on a weekday. The experience is drastically affected by how much of an asshole other people in the theater are.
ikindacarebutimostlydont
Long story short, the people behind me were talking the whole time.
zippydee
Is it actually good or just viral marketing making people think its good?
MsMax75
I thought it was that good.
CephalopodLodge5
I thought it was great.
TheBrokenRuler
Literally just saw it, thought it was very, very good.
MykeTheBeardman
It was a great movie and intense as feck.
thisismyanonymoususername
it's good if you allow yourself to get into it. Surrounding audience also matters. Talkers/loud people will ruin the whole film
Mekanismen
Both me and my wife are really disappointed
JodyHighroller
Is that related, or just in general?
Mekanismen
Oh wow. Autocorrected were to are
SergeantTerryJeffords
I'd say it was as good as people are saying it is, it wasn't especially scary like a usual horror movie, but it was so much better
[deleted]
[deleted]
MiniYams
I think what they mean is that it wasn't generic horror, like there were a few points where I jumped, but mostly suspense/thriller/drama.
[deleted]
[deleted]
MiniYams
They replied and confirmed its what they meant, like it was a bit scary by proxy, but it wasn't trying to be. The main point wasnt to scare.
SergeantTerryJeffords
That's exactly what I meant, it wasn't riddled with cliches or predictable, it was overall an extremely well-told story
SpaghettiSlirpNoise
I thought it was ok. I felt the characters just kept making dumb choices and a few things didn't add up. If I had to rate it 6/10
MykeTheBeardman
I mean to be fair, if an alien race showed up with unknown abilities, I'd have a hard time making smart decisions too.
MiniYams
Did the adults make any obviously poor decisions?As far as the electircity/military/logistics, its a movie,overanalyze any and theyll falter
HowBoutThemDawgs
5/7
sugarmamaofcats
For the win!
MsMax75
What didn't add up? The thing that annoyed me is that they had electricity. No way you could run a generator.
MiniYams
They lived near a rushing river, there's probably a hydro plant, but its totally unnecessary for the plot of the movie to show it.
SpaghettiSlirpNoise
The electricity was a major thing. How were the monsters able to defeat the military? Why did they not have the entire house sound proofed?
DuckTruck
I think at one point they show solar panels, but yeah the first thing I'd be doing was soundproofing my house, it's not that hard
dryrunner
how would you sound proof our house?
marylanddd
why did they not go live next to the waterfall? I thought it was good in a lot of ways but had flaws and some repetitive parts
MsMax75
I don't think they defeated the military. The military just couldn't kill them. One of the papers he had said people needed to move 1
MsMax75
Underground. People weren't all dead. They were just all hiding.
beccaloveswaffles
I thought there were a lot of good parts. Overall my main problem with it was that they were keeping the baby. Super illogical.
strangerthingies
Not really considering without children the species ends pretty abruptly.
Operacionpuerto
I think that having a baby was the way that they were coming to terms with some previous traumatic events (I won't say more due to spoilers)
beccaloveswaffles
That's a good point. I shouldn't try to judge based on what I would do because I don't know what that is like.
Operacionpuerto
No I totally agree with you though. I thought the same at the time
StormheartKing
While I agree, it's not like it's easy to get rid of it in that situation. They probably didn't even know she was pregnant until a while in.
mypasswordisballs
I thought it was pretty bad. Predictable and the main characters were pretty dumb. Pm me if you want spoiler-saturated explanation.
CamelSpotter
Can you give any spoiler-free details about how it's bad? Or are you just trying to be a contrarian? I've seen plenty of shit movies before.
GoodGameYoungLad
I can give a spoiler free detail by saying this movie wasn't that great do to simple lack of common sense mostly and the ending is 1)
GoodGameYoungLad
Basically like a slap to the face...the movie isn't terrible but for the premise it sets up I just couldn't get into it due to lack of 2
GoodGameYoungLad
Common sense or just blatant stupidity
CamelSpotter
At any rate the movie still looks to be miles better than Truth or Dare.
mypasswordisballs
Truth or Dare will still be better than my freshman year PE movie. I don’t like to give something merit by finding something worse than it
mypasswordisballs
Oh I love bad movies. My favorite movie genre is badly dubbed 90s kick flicks. There are simple fixes to the family’s problems that they 1/x
mypasswordisballs
either don’t use until late in the movie or don’t use at all. Also, there is something that one of the characters discovers that seems 2/x
mypasswordisballs
VERY unlikely for nobody else to have discovered. 3/3
MsMax75
I just saw it. Totally lives up to the hype. It's a good horror movie but also just a drama.
CyborgMatador
No it don't
Jncat
1 I had no clue what it was about, my friend suggest we go see it. I cried basically the while movie and had an anxiety attack on the way...
Jncat
2 home. Definitely not a movie for a person suffering from depression, anxiety, and PTSD (who also has children).
jackocatt
Fuckin livid I was the entire time, but good lucid, like 5 stars livid
Trubo
My main issue with the movie is that the monster's weakness is something that should have been obvious to the military from the beginning.
GoodGameYoungLad
Did shooting them not work?
Trubo
They have very strong natural armor. You can see one of the newspapers and the father's whiteboard stating that.
Trubo
That aside, I'd imagine it's their speed that presents an issue more than the armor. Can't shoot something you can't hit.
Trubo
Finally though, I really find it hard to believe no one in the military thought up what they eventually pulled off at the end.
Trubo
It's not as though that sort of technology doesn't already exist.
totalyoyo
But how quiet is it? Am I gonna hear every person's popcorn crunching?
Beaverbait
I only had one dude in the entire theater willing to eat his popcorn during the show. It was great otherwise.
TheZmann
Yes, had some teenagers behind me snickering through the entire movie and I could hear everything they said
travg9331415
I ordered nachos and m&ms and remembered the whole premise after I sat down. It's pretty damn quiet.
MykeTheBeardman
From my experience the GM of the theater came in and said there are moments of absolute silence. He was correct. Fantastic film.
uwantsomelightlyfriedfishfillets
Definitely don’t bring a baby into the theater like one couple did
maxdefault
I heard popcorn from 10 seats away but still fucking worth watching with people.
AnaFin
Yes
AlexanderBlackX
Very much yes. Took some effort to ignore the giggling girls in the back and the crunching all around, but still definitely worth it.
degenerator
I'll wait for the Michael Bay reboot then.
AlexanderBlackX
Fun fact: Michael Bay had a hand in producing it. You'd never guess just from watching it. Seeing that pop up in the credits was a surprise.
degenerator
Rare for my stale humour to elicit knowledge, but Imgur is the site of miracles.
THExPILLOx
hopefully your local theater is as shitty as mine, i watched the whole movie with just the wife and i in the theater. private movie lol
moparornocar27
Yup I barely ate any of my popcorn. But totally worth it
ohnoofcourseyourright
There are moments where there's no sound. But ppl in my theater were quiet for these scenes. But they still had phones out :/
omenjesus
that's why i felt like i might want to wait to watch this one at home. seems wayyy too easy for shitty people to ruin.
SmallTownGlory
I'd go see it in the theater. There are a TON of small sounds and noises that add to the suspense you might not get at home.
industrialjones
There was a family next to me that mumbled throughout. I want to see it again in a few weeks when there are less people seeing it.
TheWorstCommentsComeFromTheBestPeople
And I was jerking off in the corner. Those monsters though
DylanR6
saw it last night. needless to say, it was a tough movie to watch. and the ending was the most ridiculous thing they could’ve ever done.
Cracknasty
Jncat
ajvz
Dude I hated that ending. The tone totally changes and kinda makes a mockery of the whole goddamn thing
CyborgMatador
I wonder why this got downvotes
NeverGetsTheNuke
I can't tell if you loved it or hated it.
DylanR6
both.
AbyssinianRem
Haven't seen it, but I'm guessing really loud noise hurts the monsters?
GoodGameYoungLad
Nailed it
Kougeru
Most what bothered me is that it's a big plot hole. No way the military wouldn't have thought of that weakness - it's the most obvious one
CyFestus
But, considering how efficient those things were, they likely never had a chance to do much trial and error. There weren't any safe places
MakeTabbouleNotWar
Whoooooaaaaaa say what?!?!?
MiniYams
So aside from that fact that overanalyzing a movie is a bad idea, we have no idea about numbers and surprise. It could've been over in days.
DarthGibbon
That's true. If the opening scene is day 86 (I think) then things went downhill pretty quickly.
MiniYams
Yea, and 86 is after they've had time to make all of those changes to their house, setup that sand path, everything.
