Disaster movie or youth movie

"The Fifth Wave" is a youth romance film for high school students dressed in an adventurous thriller. It may be that the director wants to combine adventure with love, or he wants to combine thriller with warmth, but these points are not well reflected in the handling of the plot, which makes the film seem nondescript. In dealing with the love between Casey and Ivan, it began to be inexplicable. Is this the so-called love at first sight? In the part where Casey finds his gun, and the part where he finds that Ivan is a foreign body, what's the point of this kind of story unfolding. It is also inexplicable that Casey forgives Ivan, and Bobo is still in front of Ben, why is there such a plot arrangement.
After Ben learned that the colonel was a foreign body, the dialogue between them, maybe the director wanted to pay attention to ecology or nature or species, but it did not achieve the effect, just mentioned it briefly, and then there was no more, and there was no foreshadowing before. .
The director pays attention to many points, which are very big, but they are not enough to be reflected in these 112 minutes, and they do not highlight the key points. Instead, love takes up most of the film.

  • Evan Walker: This isn't the first time The Others have been here.

  • Ben Parish: What did we do to deserve...

    Colonel Vosch: Nothing. Other than occupy a space we need. We're not that different, Ben. Your kind would do exactly the same thing.

    Ben Parish: No. Our kind wouldn't have wiped out an entire species.

    Colonel Vosch: Of course you would. You've been doing it for centuries.
