Four waves of increasingly deadly alien attacks have left most of Earth decimated. Against a backdrop of fear and distrust, Cassie (Chloë Grace Moretz) is on the run, desperately trying to save her younger brother. As she prepares for the inevitable and lethal 5th wave, Cassie teams up with a young man who may become her final hope – if she can only trust him.Includes bonus sneak peek excerpt from "The Last Star," the heart-stopping finale to the #1 NY Times bestselling series by Rick Yancey.
This is an alien attack film combined with a kids save the world movie. It centers on Cassie and not Katniss (Chloë Grace Moretz) who keeps a journal for first person narration so we can get the heavy meaningful themes, recapped at the end of the feature in case you missed the point. 40 minutes into the film, we cover the first three waves of the attack and Cassie's high school crush. The fourth and fifth wave are a bit ambiguous and seem connected, but "The 4B Wave" wouldn't sell.
Cassie spends most of the film looking for her brother (Zackary Arthur). If you have seen a film before you quickly realize the twist as we painfully wait an additional 40 minutes for it to manifest itself to the characters. During this time we suffer through long painful dialogue. The ending leads us open for a sequel as this appears to just be a long introduction of characters for a series that could go on ad infinitum. David Vincent knows they're here.
The film is designed to appeal to teens and younger. There is no humor in the film as there was in "Independence Day." No colorful characters, except for maybe that one girl (Maika Monroe and not a hot Asian chick) and we didn't get enough of her to carry the film. There was nothing wrong with the performance of Chloë Grace Moretz, other than she had dry lines and couldn't do anything with them. They needed to cut 10-20 minutes out of the film.
We find out Cassie was poorly named for Cassiopeia the beautiful, vain, and boastful queen. Where is JK Rowling when you need a meaningful name? Ben (Nick Robinson) is another story that would be funny, but they made sure it wasn't.
