The 5th Wave (2016) 7/10

Starring : Chloe Grace Moretz, Matthew Zuk, Gabriela Lopez, Bailey Borders, Nick Robinson, Ron Livingston
Director : J Blakeson
Running Time : 107 mins

An unknown race of aliens known simply as the Others have launched four waves of attack on the planet Earth, leaving the planet relatively unharmed but slowly making it unliveable for mankind. As the world’s military starts enlisting children to help battle the alien forces, a young girl named Cassie (Moretz) starts to discover the truth behind the attacks and the potential problems that might arise from fighting back against this deadly enemy.

This was a fun enough alien invasion movie, with some very predictable moments and some less predictable (I won’t list them here). Fans of Moretz might be disappointed she hasn’t been embracing her comedy roots lately, but this is a nice enough dystopian drama that might not do anything new for the genre but definitely makes an entertaining spectacle for youngsters.
