First, let’s go over the release order for these films. It all starts with 2018’s “A Quiet Place” (which itself, in some ways, actually started with “Jurassic Park” in 1993 as a single scene in Steven Spielberg’s classic blockbuster inspired Krasinski in crafting his film). From there, we got a direct sequel and, more recently, a prequel set in New York City. All laid out in order, here’s what that looks like:
So there we have it. Simple as that. My preference as a viewer — and as a huge fan of these movies — would be to watch them in the release order. My feeling is that what Krasinski does in that first film to intimately set the stage for this universe, showing us just enough while leaving plenty of room for intrigue, all while giving us characters we truly care about, is an outstanding starting place. Prequels, the good ones anyhow, tend to fill in gaps but aren’t essential to understand the stories that came before. That’s certainly the case with this franchise and I would argue that watching “Day One” last is more enriching after one is already familiar with the world.
