Sounds just a little more menacing (and believable) than spaceships shooting lasers at the White House, doesn't it? So here's what humanity has to fear in The 5th Wave. They take away what makes us a civilization, turn our own planet against us, use biological warfare, and even have humans do their fighting for them. Whereas extraterrestrials in other movies like Independence Day and War of the Worlds pretty much just set out to destroy humanity by blowing things up, the "Others" in The 5th Wave are thorough. To stay alone is to stay alive, Cassie believes, until she meets Evan. Who have scattered Earths last survivors. The beings who only look human, who roam the countryside killing anyone they see. Now, its the dawn of the 5th wave, and on a lonely stretch of highway, Cassie runs from Them. Let me first say this: These aliens in The 5th Wave aren't messing around. After the 4th wave, only one rule applies: trust no one. So what are the five waves in The 5th Wave? Most of the movie takes place during what's referred to as the fifth wave of the alien invasion (hence the title), but that means there were four other waves that happened already. And despite the trauma fans have already witnessed in franchises like The Hunger Games and Divergent, The 5th Wave promises to be the most devastating apocalyptic setting by far, since the film's destruction was caused by a malevolent alien race rather than pedestrian fellow humans. The next crop of sci-fi, dystopian YA thrillers is soon arriving in theaters, with The 5th Wave leading the charge.
