Wave 3 is a plague that wipes out most of the remaining population. In Wave 2, the ship triggers worldwide tsunamis that destroy coastal cities. In Wave 1, a giant alien ship enters orbit and, after hanging around for a while, hits the planet with an EMP.
The extraterrestrial incursion occurs in waves. This, as it turns out, is by far the most interesting and successful part of the movie. The 5th Wave spends about a half-hour at the outset providing background about an alien invasion.
THE 5TH WAVE PART 2 MOVIE MOVIE
It’s hard to envision The 5th Wave, with its unfavorable release date and limited marketing, generating enough of a box office return to prod Sony into greenlighting a sequel, and this movie does not stand well on its own. For stretches, The 5th Wave is sporadically entertaining but it’s frustrating as well because of the logical holes and incomplete ending. Details are left out that might make the plot gel and wouldn’t demand a high degree of suspension of disbelief.
Many of the problems with The 5th Wave feel like the result of an adaptation that would rather condense than prune. And, because this is the first chapter of a planned trilogy, we’re left with a tepid ending that teases future installments that may never be made.īy all accounts, the book holds together better and it’s not hard to see how that could be the case. Trying to cram too much material into about 100 minutes, the filmmakers lose control of the narrative as snowballing contrivances become difficult to ignore.
THE 5TH WAVE PART 2 MOVIE TV
The storyline is generic apocalyptic science fiction and feels a lot like an uninspired fusion of Independence Day and the TV mini-series “V”. Although many recent multi-book YA properties have made successful book-to-screen translations ( The Hunger Games, Divergent, The Maze Runner), The 5th Wave is a departure from this trend. The 5th Wave is an adaptation of Rick Yancey’s 2013 YA sci-fi novel.
