The start was interesting, but only that part, the rest become those cliches type Young Adult Fiction, but nothing unique, personally i didn't enjoy it, i get bored pretty quickly.
Is just the same thing exploited just to make money.

For a while, The 5th Wave is modestly promising: a dramatic in-medias-res opening finds the teenage heroine (played by Chloë Grace Moretz) encountering a stranger while searching an abandoned convenience store and shooting him in a panic. AFor a while, The 5th Wave is modestly promising: a dramatic in-medias-res opening finds the teenage heroine (played by Chloë Grace Moretz) encountering a stranger while searching an abandoned convenience store and shooting him in a panic. A prelude to her post-apocalyptic isolation is then shown, a crowded and entertaining 20- or 25-minute montage of Roland Emmerich-style set pieces, including tsunamis crashing into major cities and a visit to an expansive quarantine zone. The film then implodes spectacularly, however, with end-of-the-world spectacle giving way to a flatly executed series of YA clichés. Everything is either inconsistent (the alien antagonists' body-snatching-in-suburban-Ohio end game does not comport with their early global omnipotence), trite (the introduction of a studly farmhand to serve as love interest), or uncomfortable: much of the story revolves around child soldiers, and the film is not concerned by the idea of an adolescent army, only whether they are fighting for the right side.… Expand

The 5th Wave is one of the best movies based on books currently , sorry that most critics only compares with the voracious games, but the film is perfect and performances are amazing and in no time the film gives sleep.

Not to be happy that the 5th wave has come to earth, because it is scary has heck. As a matter of fact, Waves 1-4 is shockingly terrifying, but that what makes the film adaptation gripping. To see the waves come alive on the big screen is terrifying. The actions scenes are best as it gets; it mix with war, surviving combat, and lets not forget about the waves, which will haunt you. The film adaptation will not let the fans of the book dow. It is a true adaptation that will grab you and won't let you go.… 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

While most YA novels/movies are set in a future dystopian society, the 5th wave is set in present time with invasions coming in 5th waves to eliminate the human race. 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

It's a movie based on a book which I respect that but is this movie near as good as the book? Cause if the book is like this than what the f*ck are some people reading. The 5th wave is to me, an excuse to make money since movies based on books are getting popular. But hopefully is the last time I see this. Sorry to those offended but just no. This movie is awful.… Expand

Disaster... movies... never... turn... out... to... be... good... period. Let's just not see what happens on the 5th wave and call it a day, okay? No, don't bother seeing this unless you're in it for disaster movies.
