An anticlimactic invasion

U.S. blockbusters on the subject of alien invasion, from the evil spirits, to the battle of Los Angeles, and super battleships, all have a problem, evil aliens, they can fly across the vast universe, but their military The strength just happened to be evenly matched with the great American army. No matter how strong the initial battle is, it still has to be pulled back in the end. The U.S. military is now on the earth looking around at a loss. There is no enemy. Even if the U.S. military recognizes the second child in the universe, who would dare to recognize the first?

This is unscientific...

Many people are already aware of this problem. The more profound nature is Liu's "Three-Body", the generation difference of science and technology can allow alien races to show god-like power! The most recent film that reflects this is naturally "Batman vs. Superman." When human beings face justice, an alien without a dark forest plot, the first task is to study --- how can he be killed?

In this film, this problem still cannot be corrected. The first four waves are aggressive. The first wave of them is the great power of the TV series "Death to the World", and then the flood, the virus, the upper body of the soul, and so on. It’s a pity that I took it one step at a time in this film, and then the fifth wave and the

fifth wave are the key points. The aliens gather the people on Earth who have been tested by power failures, floods, and viruses to conduct military training, and then go to fight. Those people on earth who have not been called up yet...ca

n't help thinking about how big this brain hole is to explain.

1. The War of Resistance against Japan or something, or 200 devils, 2000 puppet army, you have a long way to go. , Without the army? Except for atmospheric mass destruction, you don't even have a decent weapon?

2. The children have to separate from their parents, kill their parents, and then have no thought control, so they will be beaten if they have nothing to do with their upper body. Sure enough, the task of doing so was immediately reversed. How much peace do you need to rest assured to rebuild human forces in this way to PK yourself?

In short, it's really anticlimactic.. You wiped out 90% of the people atmospherically, right? You left 10% deliberately, right? You used it to preserve the earth's species? No matter how you look at this fifth wave, it's all playful.

  • [last lines]

    Cassie Sullivan: [narrating] The Others see our hope as a weakness; as a delusion. But they're wrong. It's our hope that lets us survive. That lets us bend, but remain unbroken. It's our hope that will let us win one day. It's our hope that makes us human.

  • Sam SullivanCassie Sullivan: [singing in union as Sam drifts off to sleep] Bones, sinking like stones, all that we fought for. Homes, places we've grown, all of us are done for. We live in a beautiful world, Yeah we do, yeah we do. We live in a beautiful world.
