  • The 5th wave movie

    Current movie at theaters.

    To say it's a chic flick would be an understatement. I guess it's part of that new genre wherein the teenage girl saves everyone (Hunger Games, Divergent, et al).

    It's not bad however. Typical suburbanite family, alien craft come, first up is EMP then... sorry won't spoil it. Anyways, their is five "waves" or attacks, each playing on a different theme.

    Interesting things you can catch early on to see who the BG's really are. Don't get on the bus or get herded into the barn...

    Lots of hoops and hollahs from the women in the theater crowd here and there as the boys were "put in their place" by the teenage gals. Lot of unsettled estrogen in the showing we saw, or a lot of disgruntled broads.

    We'll let the ladies have their Rambo-ette fantasy... :o Maybe it might light a fire of survivalism under their arses so they don't rely on their man as much and become a team member, rather than a protected liability.

      Good Gawd, Bruce Almighty..... That movie was BAD! Seriously bad, like worse than network TV bad... Twilight with never empty guns bad. OK, i digress...

      The family choice was: KungFu Panda III or 5th Wave.... My value for a buck said I am not seeing a CARTOON at movie theater prices, wait for PPV or Netflix, so hey, 5th Wave has aliens, guns, resistance to overwhelming power and odds... Let's see 5th Wave, let the 12yo daughter see how tough girls can be... FAIL....

      OK, the alien invasion was cool. Some cheap but decent CGI. Passable, even in spite of stupid mistakes and ignorance by almost everyone. Like grabbing one M-16 with unknown rounds in ONE magazine and running, leaving at least one dead Army dude with chest rig full of mags and I am sure other goodies of war. Thankfully, their mags never run out...

      It went downhill after that...

      I knew I was in a theater of teens and tweens when all across the theater girls were going OOOOOOOH! and clapping when the stud muffin, 6-pack abs, guy got kissed by the turned-on girl. Never seen this happen in a movie before by the audience. It was funny, reminded me of high school. LOL!

      The video-game-ish glowing skulls was funny too...

      The bottom line, only go if you are dragged kicking and screaming. Wait until free on Netflix, not even worth PPV...

      So much to nitpick on, and I don't have the time... LOL!
