A Quiet Place: Day One is set as a prequel to the well known and particular first movie of its name A Quiet Place (2018), the prequel to the first part of the film is directed by Michael Sarnoski, the script is co written with John Krasinski and the film is focused on the origin of the post apocalyptic world that has captivated viewers ball eyes since the beginning. Taking place in New York the story is not set during the typical post apocalyptic phase of humanity’s collapse and extraterrestrial invasion, instead it describes the initial moments when the aliens who are sensitive to sound appear on Earth, from what it looks on the trailer falling from the sky.
The plot develops around the main character named Sam played by Lupita Nyong’o, a woman experiencing the early stages of the invasion at the city, as the night falls and the lights go out and the people run, Sam is forced to work with Eric, portrayed by Joseph Quinn, now they must move from point A to point B through the dangerous terrain of the city, where even the slightest of sounds could signal danger. The film introduces a new element of conflict to Sam’s character with the addition of a pet cat, which creates a new tension as they try to avoid waking the animal in the middle of the panic.
The cast also includes actors like Alex Wolff as Reuben and Djimon Hounsou as Henri, who comes back from the second sequel to the first movie A Quiet Place Part II, as the movie moves beyond the core concept of the invasion, the film will try to dive more into the consequences of the invasion, probably presenting more elaborate action sequences as well as more oppressive scenes that take place within the structures of the city and its subterranean infrastructure, involving a larger amount of humans affected by the invasion rather than the first movies were develop on the country side.

The main character is a woman named Sam, who is played by Lupita Nyong’o and she finds herself in the middle of an alien invasion, her character is a focus to the movie as she struggles with the rough city environment along with Eric, Joseph Quinn. The relationships between Sam and Eric help to build up the plot and showcase values as survival, trust, and perseverance. The film brings another element of danger by making the characters silent around Sam’s pet cat so as not to wake the creatures, similar to what the baby was on the first movie.
The movie has some similarities to World War Z in a sense that we have Sam and Eric situated on a big city with an invitation going on, the moment the first Alien hit the ground felt like it was a massive event and everyone is part of it, its because of all the chaos been done by the Aliens throwing cars around in the middle of the air, killing people left and right, the army starts to cut down ties with the city taking down bridges with rockets, they probably going to bomb the entire city since the Aliens cant be fought back only control, they move so fast, so big, so strong and are so many. Sam and Eric have to find their way out and soon enough realize they cant make a single sound or else will be found and rip apart.

Transition from a countryside to a city specifically the city of New York was well planned and organized to incorporate the vast confrontations with aliens in New York, the shift in tones also made the movie more complex in terms of designing the sets and incorporating special effects, which contributed to the extended length of the shoot. However, the filmmakers’ determination for the best quality of immersing the audience has been noticeable in the commercials and teasers that have been released so far and those have been welcome by audiences and critics online.
A Quiet Place prequel is expected to provide enough concept to the other two movies, specially how everything started if not even from where and why they have come to Earth. I think based on the trailer scenes and the fact that its an invasion movie most viewers will be misguided to fall into expecting a war movie but its not, the movie gives context through Sam experience during the invasion. This is a drama and suspense movie with action included into it, I do not expect them killing or capturing Aliens by any means, they just want to get the hell out of the city before the find themself isolated with the Aliens, eventually I have the hint they manage to escape since the Aliens probably did too, reason why they ended up on the countryside
