She flees and now she begins her quest to find Sam. Meanwhile the teenagers and children are trained by the military to fight the enemy. But how to know who is human and who is alien?
It's supposed to be a teenage survival/fantasy/post-apocalyptic film, I get it. I never read the book versions of this film. I have not read other book versions of Twilight, Hunger Games, etc., either, but I understood those films. The difference with other films in it's genre is for instance; in The Hunger Games we can see the oppressed living in the Districts, and the Elite/Ruling Class living in the Capital - a clear distinction between the two. In Twilight we are able to see who the Vampires, Werewolves and the Humans are - a distinctive difference. In The Maze Runner we get to see the survivors, the maze, the creatures, the scorched environment and those in control... you get my point. The 5th Wave can be compared to M. Night Shyamalan's "The Happening", a film where nothing actually happens. In the 5th Wave, you won't get to see the Aliens true form, no close up shot of the Alien Drones, which despite their technological advances - can not detect humans in the woods right under their flight path. Here is the huge plot-hole in this film. Why did the Aliens put the young survivors through all the rigorous training to militarise them, and implanting a rigged anti-cloaking chip to disguise fellow humans as aliens, a deception to trick the young soldiers to kill their fellow humans? The Aliens who were already and perfectly disguised as humans could simply assimilate within the rebellious human communities (as the earlier sleeper-Aliens did in other families and communities) and destroy them.
Zombies are invading modern cinema and television to extremes of late ("Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" arrives just two weeks from this film's release), so it's no surprise that "The 5th Wave" mirrors that horror subgenre's key elements. Despite its adaptation from Rick Yancey's young adult, science-fiction novel, many of the designs and inclusions, particularly when it comes to environments and motivations, are unmistakably derivative of "The Walking Dead" and other popular zombie properties. A few moments, including the opening scene, adhere so strictly to the zeitgeist's infatuation with common perceptions of the zombie apocalypse that "The 5th Wave" becomes nearly indistinguishable. That is, until some of the teen romance kicks in. Although the film employs the tired device of starting straight into a tense sequence before circling back to a proper introduction, there is, thankfully, a decently detailed genesis for the end of the world. In Ohio, Cassie Sullivan (Chloe Grace Moretz) is just an average teen, playing soccer, attending parties, and trying not to embarrass herself in front of the boy she likes - Ben Parish (Nick Robinson). Like everyone around her, she has no idea that one random, conventional day in high school will suddenly become the last glimmer of normalcy. A massive alien spaceship appears over the city, exactly like something out of "Independence Day." The "galactic party crashers" soon make their intentions clear: humankind is in their way. The initial attack, dubbed the "1st wave," is an electromagnetic pulse that stops all electrical items and, by extension, even utilities like running water. The 2nd wave comes in the form of geological disturbances, including skyscraper-high tsunamis that decimate islands and coastal towns. The 3rd wave is a modified avian flu that wipes out most of the remaining survivors (thanks to the statistic of approximately 75 birds for every one person on earth). The 4th wave is quickly revealed to be an actual invasion, where disguised alien soldiers attempt to pick off the holed-up human resistance. Before the 5th wave can be hypothesized, Cassie becomes separated from her little brother Sammy (Zackary Arthur), prompting her to undergo a hazardous, 80-mile trek to the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, where children have been corralled for safekeeping. Presented from the point of view of a teen girl isn't original, but it allows for a strong female role in the hands of the charismatic Moretz. And fortunately, she isn't toting around her toddler sibling during traumatizing run-ins with paranoid humans and alien "others" alike, which could have become quite annoying. Most of the other players also approach their personas with seriousness, which is a rare and valuable quality in young adult pictures. But, in the film's efforts to include the obligatory teen romance (or love triangle), "The 5th Wave" saunters dangerously close to the silliness of the "Twilight" franchise. When the characters spy on each other bathing, it's enough to inspire belly laughs. The child-soldier-training routine also grows tiresome, especially as the maturer subject matter clashes with the ridiculously young age of the absurdly named Teacup (a timid girl of about 7), forced to tote a machinegun and engage in physically demanding, strategic combat against adults. At least the secret of the 5th wave is moderately clever, though subsequent twists reveal exponential simplemindedness in scripting. Plus, it's enough to drive one mad when the movie ends with absolutely no resolution – due to the basis on a planned trilogy, though most audiences are likely to be aware of this going in. <ul><li>The Massie Twins</li></ul>
The undercaffeinated middle of the film consists of dopey twists, slow-burning gazes and dialogue that aims for “heartfelt” but comes out “unfortunate.”
