All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

I must admit that I had expected something more from this movie. But it just turned out to be a teenage movie with a layer of action and Sci-Fi elements to spice it up.As for the storyline in "The 5th Wave", well it was rather mundane and generic, although the twist as to whom The Others were was a nice one, and I had not really foreseen that one.The acting in the movie was adequate, but Chloe Moetz constantly walks around looking like a sullen and semi-depressed girl, so it was hard to take her serious in this movie.The special effects were quite good, as was the CGI. And let's be honest, this is very much a CGI carried movie, because the storyline, plot, characters and acting could only take the movie so far. So, of course, the CGI effects had to lift up the movie.This was hardly an outstanding or particularly memorable movie. And I doubt that I will return to watch this movie a second time.

The book may have been stupid - but at least it was well written. The reason why this story is unique is because it is so mindbogglingly stupid that no one would actually put pen to paper or fingers to keyboard to share it with other people. This movie could've been fun if it was self-aware. The problem is that it takes itself way too seriously. It takes a dumb idea and tried prestent it as genius. The Plot - I don't want to put in any spoilers, but this plot is stupid and convoluted. Its kinda fun in the book because its presented well, but in the movie, its even dumber. All I would have to do to get you saying "wtf" is describe the plot. Its really dumb. The Acting - All of the acting is terrible. While watching this, I both laughed and I cringed. The child actors have terrible direction and no talent. If I was a child in this movie, and looked back at my performance in this nonsense, I'd try to avoid every being recognized in it. Its so bad. I feel bad for a lot of the people who were involved in this money grab.Effects - The cinematography and the special effects are all terrible. This movie looks really cheap. The whole look of it is very bad. Action - The action is really bad. I could go on, but really it would be more of the same. Everything about this movie is really cheap and bad. Its not worth watching. I wish this movie was more self-aware about how dumb it is. Then we could've had a fun dumb action movie. Instead we got 2 hours of pretentious nonsense.
