Aliens in Political Struggle

At the beginning of this film, there is still a little shadow of American sci-fi. The protagonist Casey did a good job in the beginning of the plot, and quickly introduced the first wave of alien attacks (I don’t know what it is after reading it, It may be ignored), the picture that appears directly is the protagonist's patrol with a gun (zhuang bi) The second wave of attacks is an earthquake, the third wave of attacks is the flood caused by the earthquake, and the fourth wave of attacks is the transformed bird flu virus , and then comes the fifth wave of attacks that should be the core, but what is the core of the fifth wave of attacks? The movie unfolds without being pointed out, and the people watching it are completely missing.
The fifth wave of alien attacks can be said to have no performance at all. It is more like a political struggle. The aliens (let's think that the aliens conspired with some earthlings who have other conspiracies, because there is no such part in the movie, The result appeared directly and bluntly, there was no process description) The few soldiers (dou bi) under control found a group of young people there to train their skills to fight aliens. The last group of children found out, oh, the soldiers who trained them were actually conspirators. I swear, didn't they say they were aliens? Didn't it say that it was to resist the fifth wave of alien attacks? What the hell is this? Is this a political fight movie? Or ideological education film? (Teach us not to trust strangers.) Well, let’s not talk about how big the screenwriter’s brain is. It’s enough to make a sci-fi film into a youthful tearing film.
This kind of film may have a more suitable adjective in China called "domestic horror film". The plot is empty and boring, the script is shit, and the special effects can still be seen basically belong to the kind of science fiction film imagined for science fiction.

    The name of the male nn could not be found in the cast, ok, Alex Roe. The beginning was coaxed enough, until it was discovered that this was a complete teenage movie.

    The heart of preventing aliens is indispensable~~I have been so busy recently that I have forgotten about this.

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.

  • Cassie Sullivan: How do you rid the world of humans?

    Wounded Man with Crucifix: [remembering her first kill] Help me!

    Cassie Sullivan: First, you rid the humans of their humanity.
