This is still forgivable up until we switch away from Cassie and venture to the military barracks and meet up with Ben as he and the rest of the kiddos are going through the Ender’s Game playbook of training to send children out against an alien threat. If only she didn’t have to be saddled with Evan and bludgeon us with another damn love triangle scenario.
CHLOE GRACE MORETZ THE 5TH WAVE FULL
She shows the right amount of dread and apprehension in the aftermath of being in earshot of a room full of adults getting massacred. The initial wave and resulting action is convincing as is Moretz in making her character believable. Taking all of this into account, the first half isn’t bad. The endgame is still the same, though: Kill the Wabbit, er, humans. The Others’ desires are never made clear as to what they want to do with the planet. Throw in an alien invasion and tsunami and we have a Roland Emmerich two-fer if you can recall Independence Day and The Day After Tomorrow. We’ve already seen it in The Hunger Games and Divergent. But it’s hard to not get distracted by seeing how adolescents fair in training and combat scenarios. Along the way she meets the mysterious hunk hottie Evan (Alex Roe) who helps her get to the base where Sammy and other kids are being trained to stop the fifth wave: invasion.įrom what I understand the novel from which The 5 th Wave is based is very good, and it probably is in that medium.

Cassie and her family survive the first two waves but when she gets separated from her little brother Sammy, she grabs an M-16 and sets off for the nearest military base where the children have been bussed. Then the “Others” (read: aliens) park their vehicle in Earth’s orbit and start removing the humans through various “waves” (EMP, followed by tsunami, bird flu, etc.). New villain, same derivative swarf.Ĭassie Sullivan (Chloë Grace Moretz) is your typical midwest high school girl with simple interests: soccer, going to parties and Ben (Nick Robinson), the quarterback of the football team (obviously). Once again teens are tasked with saving the world in The 5 th Wave only their enemy isn’t a despot who looks like Merrick from Buffy the Vampire Slayer (the Kristy Swanson one) or Rose from Titanic. The success of The Hunger Games has led to other franchises getting made as well as one-and-done failures like City of Bones: The Mortal Instruments.

CHLOE GRACE MORETZ THE 5TH WAVE SERIES
We’re experiencing the same thing with YA literature, a gluttony of series dealing with dystopian futures, romance, and sometimes vampires or zombies. Remember when the success of the Harry Potter movies and The Lord of Rings coincided with The Golden Compass and Eragon, both of which were best-selling fantasy novels? Neither birthed a film franchise.

In the movie industry, unlike television, it takes time to latch on to a hit trend and run with it. Thomas Howell in Soul Man) or did (drugs – thanks mom and dad, I learned from the best!)? Don’t they remember that some of the great ’80s movie characters were young adults? But instead of rebelling against high school principals or eating a bowl of cereal consisting of beer and Cheerios, today they have hunger games (not hungry eyes) and sparkle in the twilight, instead of just being a bunch of lost boys. Why do I get the feeling that today’s parents are ashamed of having grown up in the ’80s and are doing their darndest to make teens forget about the crazy stuff they saw (C.
