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.

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.
