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. Let me first say this: These aliens in The 5th Wave aren't messing around. So what are the five waves in The 5th Wave? The story’s just thin and the aliens are never quite threatening, even when they’re revealed. As she prepares for the inevitable and lethal 5th wave, Cassie teams up with a young man. After the Explosion (A Fifth Wave Fanfiction) 20 parts Complete.

This is a continuation of The 5th Wave movie in mostly Cassies perspective. Keep on Fighting (The 5th Wave) 13 parts Ongoing. Against a backdrop of fear and distrust, Cassie (Chloë Grace Moretz) is on the run, desperately trying to save her younger brother. Stella will do whatever it takes to bring back her friends. It winds up not quite hitting the mark with either effort. Four waves of increasingly deadly alien attacks have left most of Earth decimated. It goes for action franchise starter but also young adult romance. 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. The 5th Wave feels like a movie that hit a fork in the road and just split the vehicle in two. 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. There are so many moments in The 5th Wave that had me shaking my head, and the acting, dialogue and plot are all equally to blame. With 1.06 billion internationally, the film is drawing close to becoming the third film to earn over 2 billion worldwide.
The next crop of sci-fi, dystopian YA thrillers is soon arriving in theaters, with The 5th Wave leading the charge.
