A thoroughly disappointing continuation of the original story. It's lost all the charm of the original and lost sight of what made it special. It's not a quiet place anymore at all; the monsters are incompetent and less frightening, and pose none of the tension or suspense of the original. The characters are one dimensional and lacklustre, and the plot is essentially one big McGuffin hunt which is really unfortunate. I think the premise this world offers is still a very intriguing one and could be taken in lots of interesting directions, but this movie doesn't offer that. Hopefully any future sequels can do better if they are made. There's some good aspects (such as the backstory to the monsters; I loved that) but overall I think the plot's weak and the spark is gone.

Plot summary
With the newly acquired knowledge of the seemingly invulnerable creatures' weakness, grief-stricken Evelyn Abbott finds herself on her own, with two young teens, a defenceless newborn son, and with no place to hide. Now, 474 days after the all-out alien attack in A Quiet Place (2018),the Abbotts summon up every last ounce of courage to leave their now-burned-to-the-ground farm and embark on a peril-laden quest to find civilization. With this in mind, determined to expand beyond the boundaries, the resilient survivors have no other choice but to venture into eerily quiet, uncharted hostile territory, hoping for a miracle. But, this time, the enemy is everywhere.

A Disappointing Sequel
Disappointing follow-up
I liked how the story begins with how the whole invasion began. They should have spent more time on this. As a matter of fact, this should have been a worldwide view of how humanity failed against the invasion. Instead, you get a story that at times makes you wonder if you missed something (on the pier especially). Also, the son appears to have gotten stupid since the first movie. The ending is rather contrived. With all the periods of silence in the movie and the style of showing two or three parts of the story all intermingled at once, you get very aware of the director "doing something". It weakens the film. The ending is so contrived that you think....."say whattttt". The characters' decisions in this movie make for many plot holes where their actions in the original are not something you question. So is the sequel how they get the daughter's discovery out there, If you can believe no one else figured this out. For that matter, I wondered how this type of creature can create and fly a spaceship. Do they multiply here? Were they kicked off a planet like Alien Nation? These creatures don't seem to have intelligence, organization or government. It's like the dinosaurs figured out how to build a spaceship and fly through space. The movie grossed about $350 million so there will be an unnecessary sequel. Watch a movie called "Earth vs. The Flying Saucers" from the mid-1950s and you will see the same "discovery" on how to kill the monsters.
Monster mash
So many things lack sense, I'm not commenting on that. Cute but silly monsters that can't stand a screechy noise, don't see very well, can cut through metal easier than butter and just run to kill like terminator 2. I liked the beyond the sea song though. Such a good song. Well, it's some sort of slasher/monster/horror movie.
