5/10/2023 0 Comments The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The first four waves have already wiped out whole cities (great shots of empty Manhattan streets, filled with flood water and going down for the count). The narrative in this time-waster is both familiar and forgettable: it’s the usual routine of bad music and the challenges of the next Saturday night prom, until an alien space ship arrives, unleashing a killer virus in the form of five shock waves, the purpose of which is to destroy the human race. Starring: Chloë Grace Moretz, Matthew Zuk and Gabriela Lopezīased on a trilogy of preposterous YA novels by fantasy writer Rick Yancey, The 5th Wave has mediocre direction by somebody called J Blakeson, a few good special effects worth seeing but not discussing in any kind of meaningful detail and a monotonous script by three human word processors who should remain nameless (although one of them, Susannah Grant, wrote Erin Brockovich and therefore knows better). Written by: Susannah Grant, Akiva Goldsmith and Jeff Pinker ![]()
