Watch The 5th Wave For Free

Purely Joyful Movie!

Absolutely the worst movie.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

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.Kids will love this film more than adults. There is minimal swearing, my understanding is they removed a lot from the book in that regard. No sex or nudity. While there is killing, the graphic scenes are more off screen than on. No religious content during the end of the world. More like a PG-11 than 13.

I would recommend this film to anyone seeking adventure, drama, and action in a film. This film is really the first of its kind it includes all types of techniques from the actors and also the fact about camera focuses on the emotions of the characters which emphasizes what the film is about and links in still with the main story line. This movie have a lot of similarities with the film "Divergent". Both movies have been based on a society that is divided into different groups. For example, Divergent society was divided in five fractions: Abnegation the selfless, Dauntless the brave, Erudite the intelligent, Candor the honest, and Amity the peaceful. On the other hand, "The 5th Wave" was divided into two groups: the normal people and people who have diseases. This movie is about four waves deadly attacking Earth, leaving every state and every country ruined. The aliens drain energy and create diseases that effected millions of people and died. The main character in this movie is Cassie. Cassie lost her mother by the disease. The Army came to take the people to the army base and that's how Cassie father died, army people gunned him and others down. The survivors was transferred to the army base on a school bus. When Cassie left the bus to get her brother stuffed animal the bus was driving off, Cassie was running trying to catch up with the bus but she didn't make it. Cassie goes on adventure to look for her little brother named Sam that was left on a bus. While Cassie looks for her little brother Sam, Sam is at the military base being trained by the military to fight the enemy. You can not tell whose the enemy or not because they all looked the same.

Contains spoilers. I have seen a few clips from this film on Youtube and thought it might be interesting, so, when I found it in a bargain bin yesterday, going for next to nothing, I paid the paltry few dollars and brought it home.I played it last night and reached the end of the miserable thing wishing that I had left it in the bin and used the paltry few dollars to buy something useful, like liquorice allsorts. You get what you pay for, I guess.Just about every teen flick/post-apocalyptic/alien invasion/wrong-guys-are-the-bad-guys cliché has been recycled in this mind-numbingly vapid waste of 108 minutes of my life. The heroine, Cassie, stumbles from one life-threatening moment to the next and barely gets her hair mussed or face dirty - by halfway through the film I was starting to get sick of close-ups of her perfectly clean, pretty face.I actually started to get twitchy early on in the film, but nearly reached breaking point when the military massacred the adults in the gunfight at the survivours camp and departed, leaving their own dead behind - and their weapons! In light of later revelations, the apparently callous abandonment of their own casualties could be explained, but no military walks off leaving behind weapons than could later be used against them.Expecting a viewer to accept that small children could, in only a few weeks, be turned into combat soldiers, was pushing things a bit far, but it has apparently worked in parts of Africa, so why not the USA too? But then those same children were sent into battle at night, wearing lights on their helmets! Why not just give each a bullhorn so that she/he could stand out in the open and shout at the enemy, "Here I am! Here I am!"The final nail in the coffin for this awful film was expecting the viewer to believe that one man could carry enough explosives to blow an entire airfield and its buildings into a huge hole in the ground. By then, thank the Lords of Kobol, there were only a few minutes left in this film, so I sweated it out to the end and vowed never to watch it again.I have two teenage granddaughters who like lightweight films, but they wouldn't be able to stomach even this.This film gets two stars from me, and lucky to get even that.

Movie started off well but loses appeal half-way. Seems there maybe a sequel but not for me.
