According to the director, the aliens in A Quiet Place evolved in a very hostile environment which forced them to evolve to become immune to everything. Even the explosion of a planet can't harm them.
Is this good writing?

how did they get here?
He explains their planet exploded and the explosion sent them all the way to earth
Do they have any sense for the size of the universe? Distances. And the odds of an asteroid hitting a planet.
Officially, their planet is 4.6 billion lightyears away from earth, and the explosion sent them flying at roughly 1 billion times the speed of light, so they arrived fairly quick to earth.
Director said that since their world is in constant darkness, they became immune to light and the speed of light doesn't affect them
Good lord. An asteroid traveling at the speed of light is ludicrous. A billion times the speed of light mindnumbingly moronic. Also something the size of a small asteroid hitting the Earth at that speed would completely obliterate the planet.
Frankly I find your theories about the offending asteroid launched at Earth offensive.
The director said the creatures grew an internal mechanism to survive said speeds and that they can decrease their ftl speed dramatically once their system detects it's closer to a planet
Asteroid had a parachute
>they became immune to light and the speed of light doesn't affect them
how would you evolve light immunity if it was never necessary for survival
Director said the light is really in their hearts.
>their world is in constant darkness, they became immune to light and the speed of light doesn't affect them
Literally what a 5 years old would think.
>Director said that since their world is in constant darkness, they became immune to light and the speed of light doesn't affect them
what is the context of that gif
Why are u gay. Seriously,search for exactly that prhase on youtube lol
>Director said that since their world is in constant darkness, they became immune to light and the speed of light doesn't affect them
Holy based
>they became immune to light and the speed of light doesn't affect them
At this point why not have them be actual demons summoned from Hell, or alien bioweapons dropped off by a drunk space trucker who crashed in Nevada? Anything is more believable than that explanation which I can only assume was written as a joke
>flying at roughly 1 billion times the speed of light
That would have vaporized the entire solar system.
This is why I prefer mystery. Some questions are best left unanswered.
>1 billion times the speed of light
What... You know how much energy that costs? It would take an inordinate amount of energy to move anything but weightless light at the speed of light. The moment you add mass, you'd need something something exponential/infinite amount of energy. Let alone a billion times the speed of light. What the frick.
>WELL MY MONSTERS ARE STRONGER THAN INFINITY
>WELL MY MONSTERS ARE STRONGER THAN INFINITY
>flying at roughly 1 billion times the speed of light
>the speed of light doesn't affect them
Of course! The speed of light is the limit so not being able to see light is the key to interstellar travel! It all makes sense
so stupid, it's fricking brilliant
Hollywood can't be this dumb can they?
Im hearing this b***h in my head when I read these statements
She is so fricking hot. Are all NK women like this?
idk man but if Lil'Kim kicks things off the warbride game finna be lit
>escape NK
>get inseminated and have a white mans child
holy based
>immediately divorce him as soon as the green card hits and now he has to pay child support
kek.
Hello Chang
She is unironically dating a black man now. It's fricked up
women are the same evil no matter where they come from
perhaps Kim has the right ideas all along. The west is a decadent shithole that doesn't keep women under control.
literally who? post a clip a least if you want people to hear your e-celeb
Its some “escaped” north Korean b***h that just did the rounds on several big podcasts recently talking about the most insanely obvious cia propaganda anyone has ever heard in their lives; with a straight face. Go look it up it is pretty funny
kys commie filth
>commies known to do moronic shit like killing people with glasses because they think they're smart
>she says boiler plate stuff like NK tells the citizens the west is backwards and evil and they're the peak civilization
Are people this moronic?
>she says boiler plate stuff
She said she went to school knowing that 1+1=2 but the teacher told her she was wrong and actually 1+1=1 because their great leader said he looked at water drops combining. She's spouting moronic shit on such a high level that it's believable that's she's a NK psyop to make everyone disbelieve all the true stories of fricked up NK shit.
I believe it. Read what Mao made people do/believe. Nothing is beyond chink commie insanity.
Well that's stupid of you. If they were really teaching everyone that 1+1=1 then she wouldn't have been able to tell the teacher that 1+1=2, since the country is so heavily locked down. They certainly do teach moronic shit about their leader that sounds like Chuck Norris facts to us but she's also obviously making the people out to be way more moronic than they are, not being able to do math and pushing trains around etc. Underestimating the Norks in the this fashion is a fool's game because it makes them out to not be a serious threat who won't be able to build any missiles or nukes because their people aren't allowed to learn simple math.
Stop posting Kim
What is she telling you?
>and the aliens could also read minds since brain waves are like sound waves, and they were actually hyper-intelligent and just toying with us humans. When we tried to destroy them with everything destroying bombs they revealed that they had everything destroying bomb immunity
I love you
Bless her
>their planet exploded and the explosion sent them all the way to earth
>Director said
I get that it's a meme but I'm crying laughing at this dumb shit
>hey can I color on your placemat when you're done?
KEK
all Hollywood writers should have their fingers snapped. Never saw a quiet place, Jim is not a good actor, and his wife with the punchable face needs to stop showing up in shit.
All things considered its not actually the worse movie.
>d his wife with the punchable face
lol she has a punchable personality. if you watch Wind Chill, a horror movie she is in, she was like 20 years old in that movie, you can tell her whole personality is just based around being annoying and b***hy and all her male friends are simps type of girl.
This is too moronic to be true. Wait, or is it so moronic is has to be true?
Why is no one laughing? This is so bad it's fricking hilarious lmao
Dont some of them get killed by weaponry on Earth from scared suburban familys? This plot is capeshit tier.
there'a no friction in space, so once the exploding planet launched them, the aliens wouldn't lose momentum. it's internally logically consistent
I think you're making this shit up
pieces of the destroyed planet that turned into asteroids and crashed into earth. Its implied they were hybernating on them before arriving in the solar system and ending up on earf
space rafts
Yahweh's plan
by LETTING THE DAYS GO BY
Water flowing underground
so they also became blind!
i think he is just takeing the piss mate.
How can explosions be real if their eyes aren't?
the concept is so fricking stupid, there is absolutely no way that all of humanity would get btfo'd by thing that just smashes into other things
Just like the Saiyans race!
Thank you Pedro
But....the explosion of a planet wiped out the Saiyan race.
See what you do is take a very small planet, barely a planetoid.
Then you explode it next to the aliens. It's dangerous but not enough to kill them.
Then what you do is explode a slightly larger planetoid.
>A-and um and um they're also impervious to the vacuum of space um um the-they come back stronger when they die IF..they die and um and-and OH they're also the ninetails jinchuuriki
Didn't they get hungry in the tens of millions of years they spent in space? Why the frick do they need to eat people on earth then?
They were frozen while floating in space for a billion years so they didn't need to eat. They thawed out from the sun when they entered the solar system and were really hungry. Like a bear after it hibernates.
>It's okay when Alien does it!
>Is this good writing?
It's fine writing for a cheesy alien monster movie.
What did they eat?
Director said that since food was scarce in their homeworld, they evolved to not need to eat at all.
>Yeah they don't need to eat and can survive planetary explosions pretty cool huh, hey can I color on your placemat when you're done?
lmao
this is moronic just say they’re paranormal demons or something
We need more demon kino. It's always Literally Satan(every movie about Hellspawn ever) or some demon lord pulling strings in the background. Even DOOM the movie dropped the literal demons from literal Hell core plot point for
>ummm... akchually it's an extra chromosomes the Martians had 😀
Event Horizon might've came the closest by keeping it subtle enough for the audience to wonder if it was actually Hell or not. But the "horrors of hell" were still just quick snippets.
All I have really wanted from this genre is an actual DOOM movie. Doesn't have to be DOOM itself. But horrifying demons invading the mortal plane seems to only get done right in video games. Movies never go all out and roll with it. And shit, since I'm on the subject, when's the last time we even got a Literally Satan style thriller?
My tinfoil is that it's all true and the powers that be don't want people to become aware so they ordered Hollywood to stop producing Heaven/Hell kino.
You might like constantine
I did like Constantine.
Legion
Could have just used the magic science juice explanation
>They violate the laws of thermodynamics that even the planet they lived on had to obey.
Oh my, it's moronic. I guess that explains everything.
If they cant swim how did they spread across the world?
Even if you say the asteroid split apart a good chunk of the world would still not be hit
It's completely moronic. The fact that a single handgun bullet can kill one if their half inch armor is raised is hilarious. That means any concussive blast, even one from a standard hand grenade would kill one
>Get in a blimp
>Blast Rockin in the USA on loop
>moronic aliens follow it forever until they fall into a giant pit we dug, or the grand canyon
I've never seen a second of the movie.
Um they can jump over 23,000 feet in the air
Put a lid on the pit, put a sign saying to not open lid.
You're welcome.
Don't Aliens
Open Inside
>not blasting party rockers in the house tonight
whats their tax policy?
Graduated and progressive; shockingly similar to the kind you’d find in a modern industrial society
Weird huh? Nature is Crazy!!! I love science
They evolved an eat the rich policy
They kill one with a shotgun at the end of the movie. So how immune to shit can it be?
Why is everyone here referring to him as ‘The Director’, it’s fricking Jim from The Office. The same mastermind bringing us the imaginary friend movie “IF” with Ryan Reynolds
The director likes to be called the director
Go to bed Jim
>old woman with a shotgun kills one
>one literally drowns
>um no bro they’re super op
moronic film
It just indicates a poor understanding of biology and physics, probably due to the deficiency of the American education system.
>Poor confirmed
>actually thinks it's good writing
The American education system is designed to keep people ignorant and turn them into liberal activists
>they don't need to eat
>become giant murder monsters who hunt everything anyway because reasons
bravo jim
they are immune to potential energy, and thermanl energy, and radiation, and kinetic energy, resonance energy, cold, pressure, the heat death of the universe...
they need at least 50k calories a day to sustain an invinvible mobile body like that in gravity
I never saw these movies but is there a scene where they play an annoying pop song to defeat the aliens?
They play gangnam style in one scene
no you're thinking of toy soldiers where the aliens play an annoying pop song to defeat the soldiers
That’s SMALL Soldiers, Pedro. Also there’s no aliens. Please stop being a moron, it hurts my stomach.
You're thinking of Mars Attacks! Which was KINO
ack ack ack ACK ACK!
>invulnerable
>don't need food
why do they want to kill all humans then
Noisy c**ts wouldn't stop burping and farting.
>Even the explosion of a planet can't harm them
That's bullshit.
It's how they arrived on earth
officially, their planet exploded but since they are immune to explosions it didn't harm them, it just blasted them all the way to earth
Jesus Christ, Jim is really like a five years old
>M-my character is immune t-to 'splosions, weapons, the void of space, an p-planet being d-destroyed, c-can move 1 000 000 000 faster than light, and d-don't need to eat breath and drink.
As some anon said, Jim should just say they're demons / magical / spirits or whatever.
>movie pointlessly creates a glaring plothole
A Quiet Place does not hold up on rewatch at all. The characters consistently need to make moronic decisions for the movie to happen.
Also the monsters are stupidly OP until the plot demands they not be.
How do the characters shit if even the smallest bit of noise can attract the aliens within miles? What if one of them farts in their sleep?
as someone who involuntarily braps in my sleep constantly, I second this
They cork up before bedtime
They go to the nearest waterfall where they can do all the noises they want and then they go back to their community where they have to stay quiet, why don't they always stay near the waterfall? Because the director said they so
Wouldn't the waterfalls be the most dangerous places then? Since they create noise all the time the monsters would constantly go there as well
Alternatively, if the monsters can ignore large environmental sounds, why not set up a large speaker system that constantly shits out white noise? Or set up some fricking mines with a noise maker that would attract the aliens and then blow them the frick up?
For that matter, why don’t the monsters use echolocation? They evolved to just randomly charge at noises? How do they know the difference between some kid dropping a can versus another monster knocking one over because it’s fricking blind?
>creature is sensitive to sound
>nobody on the entire planet except some moron figures out how to exploit this but only after society is destroyed
>Immune to the explosion of a fricking planet
>Not immune to hearing aids and buckshot
I like A Quiet Place, but at no point did I give a frick about the lore of the aliens. They're here, they wrecked everything, now everyone left walks on eggshells. That was fine. No one needed multiple sequels or goofy lore.
>Is this good writing?
Absolute cringe is what it is.
It’s pretty dumb that a biological creature can’t be killed by firepower
Aliens being immune to guns is fricking moronic. People really underestimate the power behind a .50cal round or a 1000 pound bomb.
Like in avatar where jake is fighting that panther thing. It takes a dozen rounds of what is probably a 20mm machine gun and it does literally nothing. Aliens having skin thicker and harder than steel is just dumb.
>People really underestimate the power behind a
1" sabot-discard magnum slug fired from rifled 12ga shotgun.
I agree. Sure, make them more resilient if you want. But if you ignore the science part of science fiction you're gonna get a big chunk of the audience going
>wait a minute, this is moronic.
Aliens can tank pistol and rifle rounds? Sure, cool. But when any alien smaller than an elephant tanks full size rifle rounds like fuddy aught 6 or hmg shots from a .50bmg it kills my suspension of disbelief. I mean, shit. Even Halo had lore where the UNSC had to experiment with material and propellants to overcome the various physiologies and armor techs of Covie species. Which is where the BR55 battle rifle came from in Halo 2.
>the director said
was the director underage or something? from what he said look like a 6 years old kid saying >my monster is better than yours
i mean a 9mm will tickle a elephant, but if you shoot 100 that elephant will die
the logic with ayy lmaos being immunte to guns/explosions will only make sense if they have some kind of shields or way harder material, but at that point mankind will lose because technological superiority win
They wouldn't be able to tank a fricking thousand pound bomb but you'd be surprised at how much punishment a hippo or saltie can take and keep trucking.
Ok but why do they seem to kill for pleasure and don't really eat anything?
Àccording to the author they're just jerks
The killing for the sake of it bit isn't that outlandish. Plenty of animals will kill shit for absolutely no reason.
OnNly one thing can defeat them
I just think the entire premise is just racist towards bipoc people who can't keep quiet for cultural reasons
That's basically the plot of doomsday, the monster that killed Superman the first time . Except it was scientists who kept cloning him and making him die on the planet over and over.
So they copied a very famous comic plot mechanic.
This is bad writing because doomsday is a bad antagonist because he is a mindless force.
As far as mindless forces go, there are better but at least in doomsday's case comic heroes can fight him.
There's no way the military can't kill the aliens
You have a very limited pool of knowledge to draw from.
You have a very limited penis to frick with
GOTEM
>Even the explosion of a planet can't harm them.
Was it a very quiet plant explosion?
all monster movies are moronic because the monsters are immune to bullets. Hollywood writers that want to write about guns should be shot so they understand what the frick a gun is
Would it be possible to seduce one, preferably a female?
somehow the aliens I Wrote about as a kid understood the principle that no animal can be perfect and that evolution is designed to find very specific niches in which an animal can survive, nothing more. it doesnt turn animals into super creatures immune to everything after a billion years
>The design of the Death Angels was inspired by bog people (corpses who are buried in peat bogs)
literally how?
>dude what if we paid some pajeet $50 to model some gay alien with a body plan like a bat
i really hate modern monster design
Cloverfield killed alien designs.
How? You don't even see the aliens.
Just don't explain it
No its cringe SCP-tier shit written by a 14 year old
>alien is just a humanoid figure but with le scary face and le weird limbs
Almost all life on earth has roughly the same skeletal system. Ribs, spine, skull, femur, ect. It's probably just the best setup for survival of the fittest. Aliens would probably have the same setup.
The alien shown is clearly non-bipedal so it's not humanoid.
Hominid, my mistake
you mean all vertebrates, i.e an evolutionarily linked group?
I mean yeah. But it's not just the spinal cord they have in common, it's the entire structure like ribs and shit.
Aliens would probably be the same. They can't be sea creatures because you need fire for forges and the like and exoskeletons would be too heavy to support anything with a large brain so they won't look like bugs. They will probably be bipedal so they can use tools and move around at the same time.
I think we will be disappointed in how samey aliens will look compared to us.
Bruh all vertibrates share common ancestry. All mammals have the same bones, they all even have five fingers, even whales have five fingers. The six fingered mole is called that because that's its most unique characteristic. Even birds and most reptiles have the same bone layout as the rest. Birds have keels instead of sternums and obviously snakes don't have limbs. Things that don't share the circulatory/skeletal ancestry, like bugs, have very different layouts.
didn't they get destroyed by a shotgun???
What did they eat?
What do they eat?
What their tax policies?
Except for sound apparently. Must be wild living on a planet with no atmosphere
I was so, so, so profoundly disappointed at the reveal of how to defeat the aliens because if it was as simple as presented, it wouldve never stopped mankind as a race
>aliens clearly have hypersensitive and sharp hearing
>hmm, dr militaryman, most things with super delicate hearing are also sensitive to certain sonic waves, frequencies and noises, should we experiment to find one? After all, it might just be a high pitched noise at a specific wave length!
>oh, once those little heads open up you can pop them like a melon? Well shit! Get me some boomboxes and some marines with a bleedin hunting rifle
>even without the frequency bit, the aliens dont seem to have any tech like air flight or long range weaponry
>air force, from every nation, dropping cruise missiles, tomahawks, tac nukes, moabs, etc
>but these lanky c**ts can take the energy from a missile that can blow apart hyperdense concrete
Stupid movie
It reminds me of one of those cheap horror manga where the author keeps giving his original monsters all sorts of stupid power-ups because otherwise the story would have ended at Chapter 3
It reminds ME of your fat mama
You’d know about fat mommas wouldnt you, you fat motherfricker
I find a lot of people who have trouble "suspending disbelief" have a hard time imagining worlds or situations that aren't familiar. I have met many people that insist certain common events can't be possible or likely because they personally had never experienced it, so in their mind it is only ever a hypothetical.
Krasinski actually put a lot of thought into the backstory, and as an amateur astronomer with a long time interest in exoplanets and planetary evolution, this is actually not as far-fetched as a limited imagination might have led you to believe.
Rogue planets are potentially capable of supporting life (if they are ejected from their parent system early in their development, they can retain enough hydrogen and helium in their atmosphere to sustain above-freezing temperatures at the surface from geological processes alone), and would provide the exact type of environment which you would expect these aliens to come from (no light, need to survive in extreme environments, etc.)
The irony here is that many people will dismiss this franchise as fantasy, but the more relevant scientific knowledge you have at your disposal here, the less fantastical it becomes.
Too many people equate "I can't imagine this happening" with "this is ridiculous and unrealistic". A great deal of things are possible, and you can't even pretend that you know of even a fraction of those things.
Hell, there are still people who will think themselves rational-minded for doubting the existence of aliens, when we are now aware that Earth-sized planets in the habitable zones of stars are so common that around a third of all stars will have such a planet. At this point, the existence of alien life is becoming more of a given than a far flung idea. Whether that life is intelligent or capable of reaching Earth is another question, but it seems unlikely that of the estimated billions of Earth-like planets in our galaxy alone, only ours gave rise to civilization.
On top of that, we are now aware of planets that have extremes we couldn't even imagine before now. Planets made of diamond, planets with water that freezes at 400 Celsius, planets that rain liquid iron, hot Jupiters that orbit their star in only a few hours, and the list goes on. Do you think life isn't going to branch out in equally bizarre and unpredictable ways? The universe is vast and bizarre, and our minds are limited and miniscule. If you can imagine it, chances are it is possible in some manner. Before you go on about unicorns, stop to think how uncreative "equine with a horn" is, because such species have literally existed before. I'm also sure you don't question the existence of dinosaurs, yet any monster that isn't pre-approved by a scientist is still ridiculous and fantastical.
Science doesn't dismiss anything it hasn't already described, that would mean we never learn anything new. Science investigates that which has yet to be formally described or observed. That requires suspending disbelief, and doing so often.
based belief-suspender shitting on "UHM ACKSHUALLY" posters
Look guys. You have to be a total gay to enjoy the movie.
>>The irony here is that many people will dismiss this franchise as fantasy, but the more relevant scientific knowledge you have at your disposal here, the less fantastical it becomes.
It's not the realistic feasibility of the creatures at question, it's that it's a childish notion to begin with. It's like playing on the playground and saying, "Nuh uh, you can't hit me, because I happened to have this other superpower too!". That's what happens with these creatures: "They are super awesome and can withstand anything and even physics can't touch them because they can resist the speed of light."
is this AI?
How dumb are you?
probably
>Beep boop I am a gaybot AI
There's a good chance that's either Krasinski or his bogged up wife
How many planets were they on that exploded before they evolved an immunity to exploding planets?
>implying 50cal wouldn't blow these to bits
Stupid
Why did they leave the farm in the second one? Seemed like an extremely moronic decision.
Hack alien design with bs weakness by shit writers who don’t read good sci fi books. They have space travel but can’t make sound proof helmets????
That's what they look like? What an inspired design, even JJ did a monster design like that like 3 times now. Are they supposed to be aliens who came to earth in a spaceship or just monsters?
This is another one that bothers me.
>Uh it's like...big, and shit..
>No um..uh no, guns and stuff like that doesn't work..
>Also it like, makes smaller versions of it's self and like if they touch you um you'll go splat.
my favorite part is that it's a deepsea creature who can somehow be perfectly fine on the surface where the atmospheric pressure is something like 1/500th of what it's adapted to
How is they were capable of hearing a pin drop from a mile away but couldn't hear muscle contractions or a beating heart right in front of them?
Clearly the body dampens the sounds to an extreme degree somehow.
The director is very based for making shit up to stfu the lomoron plebbitors who need every little detail and back story info spoonfed or they can't enjoy something
>the director is very based
HE CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT
They would have been deadly enough if they were just extremely fast. If they were that invulnerable they should have committed to it and found a way to trap em.
>Hey mr director, yeah the film was okay but how im sciences name can you explain X
>Because of evolution, they evolved to be immune to everything, satisfied chud?
>Praise the flying spaghetti monster!
There's a lot of shit in this movie that just instantly takes you out of its premise.
>monsters have hearing so sensitive that board games are played with dice made of cloth
>random scene has the dad and kid walking by a swing squeaking in the wind extremely loudly without a single frick given
the monsters can tell if the sound was made by something living
>dies to a 12 year old girl stabbing it in the face with a metal pipe
Every single movie that furthers the plot by having the characters acting like morons is a shit movie.
This movie has characters constantly making moronic decisions so the story can go on.
Thus, this is a shit movie.
Simple as.
>This movie has characters constantly making moronic decisions so the story can go on.
This is how real life is
Real life people don't put nails the opposite way so the nail purposely becomes a macguffin whose only purpose is to be stepped on. Not even Juan from Walmart's parking lot would do that.
John Wick could kill them.
>monster clearly has hyper sensitive hearing capable of detecting prey from miles away
>not a single person on the entire planet thinks to try sonic weaponry of any kind before the entire human race is wiped out
>some random butthole figures it out on accident while dicking around with $4 hearing aids from walmart
fricking dumb movie
>>not a single person on the entire planet thinks to try sonic weaponry
A fricking tank shot should be enough to blow their eardrums out
Just flip over a running lawnmower and let them kill themselves on it.
This could be a decent spooky origin the the authors weren't so fricking moronic.
>Aliens evolve in a deep terrestrial cave system
>water and life are scarce and only emerge after the caverns flood every few years

>animals evolve to be very robust, armored carapaces, blind, extremely violent to contend with other extremely violent animals in their habitat
>because of the level of violent predation in their natural ecosystem they dump a thousand eggs at a time, normally only 10 or so of the thousand make it to adulthood to reproduce from each clutch
>planet suffers cataclysm, chunks of the planet contain handfuls of unhatched desiccated eggs

>fall to earth

>the abundance of noise drives them berserk due to their sensitivity to it

>so now these fricking things are reproducing by the thousand every few months, quickly overrun most of the worlds ecosystems
>cause global mammalian ecological collapse leading to massive famines and unrest
>society collapses, most people wind up eaten or dead from starvation as livestock and crops die out due to entire segments of the ecosystem being pruned down in a matter of months
the fact that a random chud on Cinemaphile can come up with a better story than some millionaire director shows how bad the state of DAS KINO really is.
That's honestly an even better alternative explanation for the apocalypse scenario from the movie. It's the biggest pet peeve I have regarding the entire movie, how the world ends from these seemingly mindless creatures that only exist for like a handful at most.
/ thread
I watched a movie a few years ago. Creatures came from caverns. I don't remember the title.
John Krasinski is a hack.
first movie was alright, not sure why they wanted to turn it into a franchise oh wait because of shekels
It doesn't matter.
They could have made the same movie with ghosts or monsters.
I tried watching the sequel and it didn't make any sense. Their farm was fricked up but they left it taking basically nothing with them to end up in a far worse location?
Director said that they developed an intricate hive memory thanks to navigating the harsh terrain of their home planet. He explains that other aliens would be attracted to it and wouldn't fall for the same tricks as the ones from the first movie.
That's not explained in the film and the characters themselves have zero chance of knowing that. The coordinated EMP attacks would be more than enough to frick up society without making the aliens themselves magic in ten different ways.
>defeats your alien
Why AI slop? Not like there's a million tank images out there.
At least they're not as dumb as the invisible immortal intangible Birdbox monsters that can't go indoors.
They definitely just came up with the idea of survival horror rules first and then created a group of seekers to fit it.
It's stupid to care about this alien's background.
idk i love alien/dimensional horror kino. ill allow some shoddy writing to slide. give me more The Mist, more Quiet Place, and whatever else have you.
Didn't the main character kill one of them with just a shotgun?
feedback from putting a microphone too close to a speaker caused one to freak out and expose the tender bits under it's invincible armor. Then a shotgun killed one.
>Invincible armor
That's not how that works
>immune to everything
>can get shot
Hhmmm.
Sound only works well on planets with a small set of atmospheres and only at short ranges.
The director is stupid. They can't see people that are not making any noise but they don't bump into walls that are not making any noise.
The director said that their sensitive ear organs can detect even the most minute of movements from living things, but those soundless movements aren't harsh enough to trigger their aggression so they instinctually ignore them. They can hear the lack of sound from walls, so they know to avoid them.
>director makes creature that is obviously sensitive to sound
>no one tells him we've weaponized sound for a while now
Yeah but they aren't fully reliable yet, boats used them against pirates around Somalia but found them to be ineffective
The films are stupid and everyone in them deserves to die
The director said, the director said
You don't get credit for shit you didn't put in the movie. I'm not listening to a commentary track to make sense of their abilities and to get backstory.
>near indefinitely
How near to indefinitely? Like 5 minutes away from indefinite? Or like 50 billion years from indefinite?
We've hatched dormant Copepod eggs in excess of 150 years old, we know Triop eggs can last at least 10 years, but nobodys bothered to conduct longer studies yet, so maybe even longer. To simply extend that to a cosmic length for an alien is fantastical but not without at least some basis in reality.
I get that the director didn't want to go into too much detail but they're already very fast, stealthy and armoured. It makes sense that they'd be able to knock out most of humanity before anyone really knew what was going on without them apparently being fricking invincible.
What I actually don't get is why I find these aliens hard to buy but when Lovecraft tells me the Mi-Go mushroom bugs flew down from Pluto through space on their leathery wings and can't be photographed because they're not made of normal matter, I can accept it no problem. Neither holds up to what I know about physical laws, but only in the former case does it distract me. Why?
Because you only know the the latter is impossible because the world conforms to the model that is presented to you by more intelligent people, and you have no reason to doubt them. You don't have expansive knowledge regarding the intricacies of matter, so it's easier to let yourself be fooled, whereas the former is blatantly violating physical laws that you understand much more thoroughly on a fundamental level. It's the difference between someone bullshitting you how a computer works vs bullshitting you about how a bicycle works.
shit movies
no explanation of origins, BUT KEEP WATCHING, WERE WORKING ON IT IN PT 10!
>Even the explosion of a planet can't harm them
Didn't one of these things got killed by regular guns and a fricking crowbar?
They are a bioweapon designed to wipe out all life on a planet by aliens who hate sound.
The bioweapon was put in meteorites and the meteorites were aimed at the earth.
The mothership is waiting outside the solar system to come in when humans and all other life is destroyed and the creatures will be deactivated and a new planet of life like the alien home world will be seeded(an alien Noah's ark)
but what about sea life you ask?
the creatures can swim
>by aliens who hate sound
Lol. LMAO.
>by aliens who hate sound
Yea, they evolved from earless creatures like the monsters, and they detect and interact by the vibrations of colors
Then stay in space? Sound is just a thing that happens in a medium that conducts vibrations. It'd be like "hating gravity" and moving to a large planet.
>every time they turn their deep-seated radio scanners on they get ear raped by the first run of M*A*S*H*
Get fricked xenos scum
This shitty fricking movie couldn't even abide to the rules it put into place.
>the monsters can hear anything! No one dares to even open a bag of chips in this new world!
>They wouldn't relentlessly chase birds or the waterfall because....they just wouldn't ok?!
They are as stupidly conceived as the naked, water-allergic Shamalamadingdong Ayys.
>>They wouldn't relentlessly chase birds or the waterfall because....they just wouldn't ok?!
they do kill birds but they ignore natural sounds like rain and branches moving in wind which is why i think they are a bioweapon(if not, very stupid writing)
If they're intelligent enough to not attack the ground every step they take, they probably take a swipe or bite out of every "new" sound they hear. If its not edible its remembered as non-food and they don't bother a second time. Thered be an early period of absolute chaos as they're adapting to every new sound, but they'd figure out food and non food noises eventually.
The issue with the waterfall is that as predators theyd likely wind up living near moving bodies of water as thats where prey congregate naturally. So while the immediate vicinity of the falls might hide you, the area immediately around them would be teeming with danger all the time.
Reading concept it's so bizarre, I like it. Though you could say a wormhole brought them to earth or something
Unironically one of the worst monster designs ever made, everything about it is pure dogshit and it only gets worse the more you think about it
Its a growing trend to do these sort of shit designs.
Tomorrow War had some notably stupid looking and illogical ayys too. That whole movie was moronic rubbish.
Also they have super-speed, heat vision and can beat up your dad
SO SCARY!
The plot of this Ayylium invasion flick will shave a full 10 pts. off your IQ if you watch the whole thing.
>we will take population from our own past to fight these insane aliens
This could only ever hurt you it’s insane
Okay here is my movie idea.
Same concept as that movie.
But it's Hitler sending israelites into the future instead.
>You're gonna die anyway before the ayys show up so we're drafting you into a pointless ground war with no training so you can get Starship Troopered while we fanny about in the lab instead of sending people back to find the source of the invasion before it happens
