PLOT
The human race stands on the brink of extinction as a series of alien attacks decimate the planet, causing earthquakes, tsunamis and disease. Separated from her family, Ohio teenager Cassie Sullivan (Chloë Grace Moretz) will do whatever it takes to reunite with her brother Sam. Fate leads her to form an alliance with Evan Walker (Alex Roe), a mysterious young man who may be her last hope. Forced to trust each other, Cassie and Evan fight for survival during the fifth assault from the invaders.
CRITICS
Taken on its own, "The 5th Wave" is an effectively decent post-apocalyptic, young-adult, world-in-the-balance survival thriller. Full review
Machine-tooled for teens, this dystopian sci-fi starring Chloë Grace Moretz starts well but wipes out in the closing minutes. Full review
For all the goodwill generated by its early scenes, by the time The 5th Wave lumbers to its conclusion, you realize you’re not watching a movie but an act of crisis management. Full review
Instead, The 5th Wave is another dystopian washout. Full review
OVERVIEW
This movie had a seriously poor reception even though the concept is similar to many successful movie like The hunger games, Independence day and many more. Personally I enjoyed the movie but I wouldn't still give it a high rating.
This is because the movie started out well but lost its initial purpose later on. The 5th wave was for the 'others' to take human form and kill every remaining human on the earth. One of the aliens took the form of a general and recruited hundreds or even thousands of children into one base, and then began training them for war against the humans. Why not just blow up the entire area where they were kept so they would just be left with a few surviving adults elsewhere. As the have successfully turned the children into soldiers, what is stopping the children from finding out the truth of who the 'others' truly are and killing them instead.
Funfact: Tobey Maguire, the first ever spiderman, was one the producers of this film 🙌🏾🙌🏾
TobyTale ratings: 6/10
