Yeah, good point. I really hated that scene because it got spoiled for me in the pre-show. But I think it was obvious they were just trying to set up some future angst between daddy and daughter.
So when they have the waterfall scene, I'm not buying it for a second that he would risk his son by yelling out loud, assuming it is completely muffled. Even if he tested it himself several times, I just don't buy it.
I do like that they have a spot they can go talk safely though. Yay for safehouse room from Resident Evil. I got that sort of feeling when they were there.
Yeah, we shouldn't be trying to pick it apart cuz it's such a fun ride. But it's too hard to resist trying to solve those monsters I think.
Great posts everyone. I think Charlest and I are totally aligned on what we get out of movies like this.
edit: just to go back to that key scene in the beginning.
