After a brief flashback to Day 1, this film picks up from where Part 1 left off, with newly widowed Evelyn tiptoeing away from her burning house with her kids, deaf Regan, Marcus, and strangely silent baby The Baby. They fall in with Emmett, and Regan wants to take her squealing hearing aid to an island redio transmitter in order to mess up the critters' hearing.
John Krasinski writes, directs, and briefly appears. Emily Blunt isn't in it a vast amount. Cillian Murphy has the main featured adult role, but Millicent Simmonds as Millicent walks away with this movie, although Noah Jupe as Marcus is also very good.
I enjoyed it, as I did the original.
But I've also had time to think about both. And these aliens - well, they're very fast, extraordinarily vicious and carnivorous, and they have very sensitive hearing. But they are totally blind, don't appear to have a sense of smell or echolocation, and they seem to be pretty dim. Seriously, is the best the human race can come up is to broadcast Beyond The Sea intermittently from an island? How about broadcasting a message? How about setting up sound-baited traps for these blind, stupid creatures? How about living near sources of strong ambient noise? Is there nobody left who can think?
