I agree with those people saying that it's okay if the premise of a film doesn't hold to scrutiny. I don't agree with those that say A Quiet Place's premise actually does hold. It really, really, doesn't. Sound proofing isn't really that hard, especially if we're talking about the military and potential large, underground bunkers. Alternatively you could just build a military base next to the Niagara Falls, y'know. And no, if there's enough time for newspapers to print "It's sound!", time isn't a restricting factor here. If we're taking actual physics into account, sound waves get weaker with distance squared, and there really isn't much sound getting out of a building (especially a building's basement).
But as I said, that doesn't really matter to me in evaluating the film. And for what it's worth, I liked it well enough while watching it in a cinema. The reason for all the hype that film got still eludes me, however. I really liked the idea of sound-hunting monsters, but world building was too sloppy / inconsistent to make that really work. I don't think it was really bad, but to be a really good film (which was what I expected when I watched it), there's left a lot to be desired. And yeah, the writing was atrocious in places.
That said, I don't really dislike the film or anything. I was well enough entertained and unless you think too much about it, that's something the film is actually pretty good at IMO. It's an OK film, nothing more, nothing less.
