Not bad. This movie is well put together in plot, characters, and pace.
This family, caught in a somewhat dystopian world where sound is taboo for surprising reasons, lives in a "soundless" world (right down to their shoes or lack there of).
Real life wife/husband Emily Blunt and John Krasinski do a terrific job playing the careful parents. The story starts off with excellent use of exposition and pulls you into the story background (and current context) without forcing anything.
The best part about this movie: the atmosphere of the quiet world that it creates. The logical details are quite impressive. I felt like I understood the forced lifestyle.
The bad(?) part about this movie: the ending seemed a bit rushed, but I see lots of ways there could be an even better sequel (if done with the same devotion to detail and logic that this movie does a valiant effort in doing).
Please see it.
