The 5th Wave

We fight back


The 5th Wave
This week's biggest release was not too well received by the critics, despite having Academy Award winner Akiva Goldsman helping out on the script. Set during an alien invasion, four waves of increasingly deadly attacks have left most of Earth decimated. Against a backdrop of fear and distrust, a young woman is on the run, desperately trying to save her younger brother. As she prepares for the inevitable and lethal 5th wave, she teams up with a young man who may become her final hope... if she can only trust him.

112 minutes.

Rottentomatoes tomatometer
Tomatometer quote iconWith unimpressive effects and plot points seemingly pieced together from previous dystopian YA sci-fi films, The 5th Wave ends up feeling like more of a limp, derivative wriggle.
