The 5th Wave
Young adult adaptations have always come with negativity. Unfortunatley, most of these complaints do have some founding.
This film puts the young adult formula into an alien invasion story line. Cassie is a normal teenage girl with friends and a loving family. This was all until the others showed up. The others started different waves of destruction, all increasing in size. This all leads to the last and largest 5th wave.
This films problem is that it seems to copy parts of other young adult stories and smashed it all into one movie. This ultimately made the film feel old.
The sad thing is the concept has huge potential and we end up with something that is less than what it could be.
GRADE: D+
