The 6th wave was the wave of people leaving the theater during the movie.

chloe moretz should worry less about what other people do with their naked bodies and focus more on taking some acting classes :)
Review by adrianbalboa ★ 12

did i hallucinate this movie or did they really make a dumbed down version of the hunger games which is already a dumbed down version of batte royale? the first on a long list of mistakes was making local above-ground radish chloe moretz the main character when maika monroe is right there and far more likable but what was i expecting from an alien apocalypse teen romance action movie that didn't even bother to spell out the word "fifth" in its own damn title

I can't help but feel like I've seen this movie before. Oh yeah, I have. A hundred times before.

The 1st wave, I checked the clock on the wall to see what time it was. How long had it been since I pressed play? A little over an hour?
Balls. 8 minutes.
The 2nd wave, I ate some cookies and drank a tall glass of milk. 2 percent. 2nd wave. Coincidence? Of course. A delicious one.
The 3rd wave, everyone gets some sort of avian flu. Body bags everywhere. I had a slight tickle in my throat. I dramatically wonder aloud to myself as I looked at the once beautiful but now battered and bloated man staring back in the mirror...are terrible films contagious? No time to wait and find out. The damage was already done. I had to…

So bad I can't even remember what this movie is about
Review by Cathal ★★

I guess this was okay. Watchable Sci-Fi that didn't require too much thinking. Didn't really care for the characters and I was happy when the credits rolled.
Review by PanAch ★½

Ύστερα από τον τεράστιο ντόρο και την εφηβική προσμονή που δημιούργησαν τα διάφορα (αξιόλογα ή όχι και τόσο) "παιχνίδια πείνας", οι αμερικάνικες παραγωγές άρχισαν να βγάζουν με το τσουβάλι teen-disaster-post apocalyptic films με σκοπό να κρατήσουν ένεργό ένα κοινό που καταναλώνει εμμονικά μη ποιοτικό σινεμά αλλά και να ανακαλύψουν μια νέα κότα με τα χρυσά αυγά που θα εκπληρώσει την βασική προυπόθεση των στούντιο, να κόψει δηλαδή είσιτήρια. Έτσι λοιπον κυκλοφόρησαν παρα πολλές κακές ταινίες με το ίδιο περιεχόμενο (Skotch trials, the maze runner, θεωρεία της απόκλισης) με το πεμπτο κύμμα να είναι μια απο αυτές αφου πληρεί όλες τις προυποθέσεις ένος ευπεπτου φιλμ βασισμένου σε μπεστ σέλερ με νεανικούς πρωταγωνιστές (μία εκ των οποίων η κεντρική στάρ) ακριβά είδικά…

With 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.
Review by Gabuilar ★★

If I hadn’t read the book, I would have been even more lost.
