10 Movie Moments We Need To See In 2021
7. How It All Began - A Quiet Place 2
John Krasinski has come a long, long way since his time as Jim Halpert in The Office. He has since evolved into an action star as Jack Ryan, is just about every Marvel fan's perfect Mister Fantastic, and he directed and starred in the ridiculously intense A Quiet Place.
For a movie set in a world where silence is necessary to survive, with huge monsters coming to tear people to shreds at the slightest noise, there was surprisingly little information or backstory given about the creatures themselves.
The movie was almost entirely character driven, and other than their sensitive hearing and how vicious they are, we learned nothing about where they came from, or how this new world came to be. John Krasinski's casting in the sequel alone means that we will be seeing some sort of flashback, and this needs to explore how the world turned into such a quiet place.
Were the monsters the result of some kind of human mistake? Are they aliens from another planet? Or is it some survival of the fittest situation in which the humans have naturally been overtaken as Earth's dominant race? We need to know.
