The 5th Wave (2016)

Absolutely Brilliant!

it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

Blistering performances.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Teen flick passing off as a Sci Fi film where the aliens conveniently look like humans, don't waste your time.

Was an okay film, however it was increadibly predictable. I knew as soon as I saw the army walk in that they were "the others". It was also crindgy at some points.Having said that, I felt like the acting was alright (I've seen better, but their kids I guess).

It´s nice to have nice hair during the invasion. If you want to kill apocalypsist movie right from the start, just put all the characters living in a forest, surviving and looking like they have endless suply of hair products??? Is it because people don´t want to see dirty or the actors don´t like to be seen as "ungly"? ....But they keep selling this to the netflix, cos it is the best, and I´m over my teens, so ... ..and why they cut Thors hair?

I didn't come in to this movie with high hopes. However, for the first couple of 10-15 minutes I was drawn in by the opening narration of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd wave. Then the 4th wave is announced and everything goes down-hill.Not going in to the two largest plot holes I can't help but feel ruined this movie for me. This movie has special effects that looks like they are from 10 years ago, the acting is at the best sub-par and no real tension is built up to make us care for the characters.Now to the plot holes:1. The EMP. The 1st wave was an EMP, strong enough to wipe out all electricity and render machines useless. This is all fine and when the military shows up everyone is struck by the fact that they have working cars. This is fine, perhaps they are old cars that don't have any electrical parts to speak off (for some far-fetched reason). However, then they end up at the military base where everything is lit up by electricity, and there's not a person that question this! You might say "Hey, perhaps they had protected wireing, that wasn't hit by the EMP". To that I say bullshit! Why didn't they military use electrical equipment way earlier during the 1st, 2nd or 3rd wave to greatly help out the population then?3. Child Soldiers Why would you prefer to send in child soldiers to fight the infections if you have an army? The soldiers should have alot more training, and in any scenario the children should be protected to preserve the species. Yet there's not a soul that questions why children are sent in to fight instead of soldiers? It just oozes of corruption and at the scene where they find out what the neck trackers really do and they say "they thought they could manipulate us because we're children", you just wanna go "Yes! But it's sort of deserved if you are not going to use your brains".
