Anticlimactic

A doomsday sci-fi thriller with a youth card, the theme is alien invasion, and the origin of the title refers to the 5 waves of aliens’ attacks on humans. The first 30 minutes of the film are good, all The special effects are also spent here. The first three waves of attacks are electromagnetic weapons, meteorological weapons, and virus weapons. The tsunami scene is still quite shocking, but we are looking forward to knowing what the fourth wave and fifth wave of attacks are. , The IQ of the film’s screenwriter has taken a turn for the worse, with various brain-depleted plots, and the main line of the story has now turned to the flower idiot looking for a younger brother. The highly intelligent creatures that can cross time and space to our planet need to be parasitic on humans and let us kill each other to extinction. Humans, and the targets chosen to be deceived are the teenagers. If the fourth wave of attacks are parasitic, then the fifth wave of attacks is to kill each other. In the film, the aliens didn’t show a face from the beginning to the end. They are all earthlings, and I don’t think there is any money for special effects in the second half. In the final analysis, this is a standard anticlimactic movie.

    "How do you rid the world of humans? First, you rid the humans of their humanity." "We're not that different. Your kind would do exactly the same thing. → No. Our kind wouldn't have wiped out an entire species. → Of course you would. You've been doing it for centuries.”

    Although I liked the movie and thought it was fascinating, the split of the main storyline of the movie was still questionable. The story of the "zombie" squad's baby soldiers fighting the alien conspiracy is obviously much better than the story of Cassie's search for Sammy and her relationship with Evan.

The 5th Wave quotes

  • Cassie Sullivan: [narrating] Here's how you kill off a species. First, you take out the easy ones: the weak, the exposed. Kill them as efficiently as possible. That was the first three Waves. But even if you bug bomb a house, there's always a few cockroaches left. Now, we are like those cockroaches. And the Others are picking us off... One by one. And because the Others look like us, we can't trust anyone.
