- TriviaLupita Nyong'o was afraid of cats, so she had to undergo cat therapy to play Samira. She explained, "I was terrified of cats. I couldn't be in a room with a cat. I was suspicious of them. I was pretty sure they were out to get me. But I wanted to play Sam so badly, and she has this cat. So I had to face my fear. They hired someone to bring some cats to me in Los Angeles, and over a number of days, I observed the cats and asked lots of questions and when I felt brave enough, I touched one and then it was two, and before you know it I was petting one until I could hold a cat without freaking out."
- GoofsThe military blow up the bridges to prevent the aliens from getting off the island despite the fact that the aliens are already on both sides. They were in fact blowing up the bridges, so boats could sail along the river, without the risk of creatures dropping from the bridges onto the boats.

Featured review
Looks good, sounds good, acted very well...and that's about it.
Although occasionally tugging at the old sentimental heartstrings, A Quiet Place: Day One offers zero answers about what happened during the initial invasion.
It's true, "hiding the monster" is essential in some cases, but we are now three movies in, know what they are, and we WANT to know more about them. But alas, nothing.
The two leads are solid but given very little in the way of action because there is little to go on. The earlier installments, especially the first, had a way of steadily ratcheting up the tension from beginning to end, keeping the characters in what felt like genuine danger at all times. Not here; the monsters are always off someplace in the distance, like watching a Lion at a zoo that barely sticks his head out of his cave to take a bite, then goes back in for a nap.
The fleeting moments when we see the monsters are technically impressive, showcasing the filmmakers' skills. However, it never feels like a danger to our two heroes or their cat. Maybe a little here and there?
This isn't a terrible movie, and It doesn't feel like a "cash grab" when watching it. However, when you make a prequel billed as 'What Happens on Day One' and it doesn't show it, with little tension, no new territory covered, or answers given, it's hard not to feel disappointed.
