Loved it! It was a great YA movie! If you're not into YA movies you probably won't like it and will be critical of everything, but from someone who loves YA movies this was great!

From the first scene, I couldn't take my eyes off the screen. Chloe Grace Moretz was fantastic in this film as well as her boyfriend. I felt like there were some pretty good intense disaster sequences and the film just went really well. The plot is a bit predictable and the last 30 minutes were pretty slow, but that first hour just really blew me away. Most of the people who say this movie is bad or at least not entertaining probably didn't go see the film, because the film might have its flaws but everyone must admit they were entertained for at least a small bit. I've never read the book, and I probably won't but I'm dying to see if they make a sequel.… Expand

That is the basic theme of The 5th wave. Based on the first book of a planned trilogy, the present world is being invaded by aliens, eliminateing the human race with 5 waves. The last remaning humans are divided: Some are left alone to fight to surivive, some are taken in by the gorvement to form an elite group to take back their world, and some are taking by the "others". Cassie's little brother is taken by the others and it is up to her to save him. Cassie is a stong female character, which makes the movie enjoyable. Chole does a great job of bring Cassie to life. Before going to see the movie, I thought I was not going to enjoy it becase it was other Hunger Games and Divergent, but I was wrong. I enjoy this movie; It has it's own twist and stands on it own. The action scenes are amazing and gripping. It has everything for the male and female audience.… Expand

The polt of the 5th wave is what it makes it different from the rest of the YA adapation; let alone making it scary to think the alien invasion will happen this way. After the "others" take Cassie's, played by Chloe Grace Moretz, brother,she is set to look for him. Along the way, she meets Evan Walker who joins her to look for her brother, but somwthings not right with Evan. Is he one or the others or one of the last remaing human? The 5th wave won't dissapoint fans of the novel. It has twist and truns and lot of great action. It also answers the question Who do you really trust in the time of need?… Expand

The trailers made it look like a movie I would like to see. A post-apocalypse action film. Cool! Like Terminator or Independence Day, right? Why are they showing that one girl so much? I want to know what’s happening with the adults. Why areThe trailers made it look like a movie I would like to see. A post-apocalypse action film. Cool! Like Terminator or Independence Day, right? Why are they showing that one girl so much? I want to know what’s happening with the adults. Why are we back with the girl? No, it’s a teenage thriller!

All right. Advanced aliens show up and try to get rid of humanity so they can have the Earth. They send “wave” after wave of attacks against us. The first wave is an EMP pulse which knocks out all of our electronics. It also knocks out running water, to which I say, “Waaa?” In most cases, your running water will work in most cases during a power outage. But I punched myself in the head until I could accept that and kept watching. It was disturbing to watch a plane slowly tilt in the sky before falling to the ground.

The second wave brings a literal wave. Earthquakes (unshown) cause tsunami waves on all coastal areas. The main character says they only survive because of their lake (instead of the ocean). Can a lake have a tsunami? A Google search confirmed that it can happen. All right, movie. You got me that time, but I’ve got my eye on you.

The third wave is disease in birds that crosses over to, and kills most of, humanity. I had visions of the television show The Last Ship on this one.

The 4th and 5th waves are a bit more muddy. By the end of the movie, you’ve figured out the 5th–being the whole point of the movie. What exactly was the 4th. Well, I looked it up online, but it’s not entirely clear. Is now the 4th? Now? How about now? I guess the first three waves were so dramatic. The 4th wave is less so. I guess they didn’t want to name the movie The Fourfifths Wave.

And then there’s the teenage girl love-triangle. I guess every teenage girl longs to be loved by two men. One is not enough. Neither should there be four. Five is straight out.

And then the character has “thank you” sex? Really? Has this generation devalued sex to the same level as a handshake? I suppose the sex is only implied and not shown. They could have lowered themselves off-screen for a snuggle. That was probably it.

Whoa. She’s what, 16? The leading man looks a healthy 25. Ages on either side aren’t defined. I’m sure they were only snuggling.

The whole time I was thinking, “What about the man of her dreams that she is a scene away from meeting?! Can’t she wait just a little longer?!” But that is the teenage angst getting to me. Maybe you’re supposed to feel this way (if you’re a teenage girl).

I don’t want to drop any spoilers on you. I’ll just say the ending left much for me to desire. The entire thing was very “Meh” for me.

The movie as a whole was like watching survivalists tromping through a forest. Occasionally, Dick Cheney shoots at them. The movie has a few, “What?” moments and a few, “Why not?” Moments. Those may or may not be intended.

Yes, if you’re a teenage girl. No, if you’re not. Hey, it’s better than Divergent. That’s pretty high praise.… Expand

Many people compare the 5th wave to The Hunger Games and Divergant. The 5th wave is enither of those two. It is completely different. The action sequences are amazing and well done.

I was going in with low expectations but was I proven wrong! This is a solid sci-fi action movie. I don't think I can recall a boring or wasted moment.

I don't think I can recall a boring or wasted moment. Some people complain about the romantic scenes being cringe-worthy. But even so, they lasted no more than 20 seconds. It's hardly something to complain about. The only complaint I have is it's unoriginal. But I'm sure younger viewers who haven't seen the sci-fi classics will get a bigger kick out of this movie than I do. Still, I highly recommend The 5th Wave!… Expand

I was very surprised how good this movie was. It slowed down and took time on the events that built character and the environment and then sped up the action towards the end. I have to say that it was a new look at an old concept.
