Aliens are here, what can I do?

The aliens are here, intending to clear the human race and launch an attack on the human race. The first wave of attacks was the use of electronic pulse weapons on the world, destroying all human electronic equipment. In an instant, humans were paralyzed, unable to take care of themselves, and large-scale powerful weapons could not be used and could not counterattack. The second wave of attacks is to create natural disasters. Tsunami destroys coastal cities, earthquakes occur frequently, large cities are destroyed, and humans are hit hard. The third wave of attacks used birds as the medium to spread the virus. With the destruction of medical facilities, few people were left to resist. The fourth wave of attacks was the shelling of human settlements by aliens. Humans were forced to flee on a small scale because they were unable to fight back. The girl, her father, and younger brother survived fortunately, waiting for the last wave of aliens in a small concentration camp. The U.S. Army came to the camp, took the children, and killed all the adults. The girl separated from her younger brother and met a young man. The young man told the girl that people who live in large numbers, such as army bases, were not attacked by aliens because those armies were parasitized by aliens. The aliens have already begun the fifth wave of offensive, instigating human relations, destroying humanity, and letting humans kill each other. The girl decided to save her brother. The youth helped the girls start the self-destructive explosion at the base. The girl rescued her younger brother, and together with the combat team, decided to go to the alien base Fantasy City to rescue all the children. Finish.

The structure of the movie is still good. Compared with the previous alien attack movies, there are still many ideas worthy of praise. The aliens in World Warfare have long arms and three legs, occasionally emitting a little light. This should be easy to solve, not to mention missiles, making a sling, or spinning a flying rope to throw it over to solve the problem. There is no human beings. The way is to flee in all directions. It is the cold virus that helps mankind defeat the aliens. Damn, the aliens have been lurking on the earth for many years. Don't you know that they bring some honeysuckle granules or Contec. Aliens don't watch TV commercials?

The setting of Independence Day is that aliens come to the earth and use aircraft lasers to start an air war with humans, just like two great powers fighting on the earth. The way humans solve problems is to plant computer viruses on enemy ships, paralyzing the command and protection of aliens, and humans win.

Transformers can also be regarded as an alien invasion. This group of seemingly mighty high-tech guys are really useless, slashing with a big knife, and bombarding them with big cannons. Apart from destroying some buildings, no one can be killed.

Compared with the above films, the fifth wave takes the emotional route, the issue of human trust. In reality, human beings lack mutual trust. Between countries, religious conflicts, religious factions, ethnic conflicts, and various problems are all proofs of mutual distrust. Some people say that it is caused by poor communication. This is bad. Language, location, and time can no longer stop our communication. It is the interests that prevent us from trusting, especially the interests of the upper class. According to the "Law of Dark Forest" in the three-body system, when there is no new trust in each other, what awaits us will be perish.

The filming of this film is not as bad as other film reviews say, and the story line is clear. Although the opening is grand, the ending is rushed, and the format is small, this is the rhythm of shooting two and three. It is estimated that the second part rescued the children and successfully formed the human coalition; the third part found the aliens' defects and repelled the aliens. It seems that the company has limited strength and insufficient investment. It is even more difficult for the follow-up film to have the scene in place.

The questions raised by this film are still good. Aliens are here, what shall we do? Before coming, there is still some time, what should we do to survive in order to survive?

The 5th Wave quotes

  • [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.
