- 'What's the point of any of this?' asks Cassie. I kept hoping, but no such luck. It's a question that is never answered.
- Ultimately squashed by a silly and generic love triangle that makes The Hunger Games look like Casablanca.
- The storyline is generic apocalyptic science fiction and feels a lot like an uninspired fusion of Independence Day and the TV mini-series 'V'.
- The whole thing appears to have been designed by some crazed Oedipal wing of the N.R.A.
- The 5th Wave plays like a Wayans-brothers spoof of movies based on dystopian Young Adult novels. Seriously, it could have been called YA Movie the way it wallows in all the overly familiar tropes of the genre.
- The death and destruction in 'The 5th Wave' can be highly entertaining, but once that's over, the movie must follow its predetermined formula.
- the only standout in the cast besides Moretz is Maika Monroe (It Follows) as a Goth fighter with no patience for pussies. Jeez, if only Monroe and Mortez had been allowed to take over. Instead, here's another dystopian washout.
- Say this for Cassie Sullivan (Chlo Grace Moretz): no matter how bad things get during the alien-wrought apocalypse, her hair looks great.

It's like Lord of the Flies by way of Michael Bay, only not nearly as awesome as that sounds.- When a book is adapted for the screen, there are reasons why some tangential plot points need to go. But Susannah Grant, Akiva Goldsman, and Jeff Pinkner, the screenwriting team who adapted Yancey's book, have destroyed the book's rich texture.
- The whole thing is just so familiar, so warmed-over.
- Topical ideas on humanity, mistrust and alien-as-immigrant metaphors are a plus, but a laughable romance and a ridiculous wrap-up render the film as only a staging ground for the next two parts of the trilogy to come.
- 'The 5th Wave' starts off strong, but winds up drowning in young adult cliches. It's not the end of the world, but it's starting to feel like the end of this genre.
- The action's pretty fair, and fairly violent, though the quality of the digital photography is all over the place, with some key night scenes descending into visual murk.
- It's depressing to see Ms. Moretz - so spirited in 'Clouds of Sils Maria' and the 'Kick-Ass' movies - reduced to constant mooning at Mr. Roe. And yet the source novel is part of a trilogy. Expect sequels.
- With two subsequent books in the series, can a movie franchise be far behind? Let's hope not.
- This American movie is wretchedly written and badly directed and edited.
- A kids-trained-to-kill sci-fi flick that turns mildly subversive right before taking a headlong dive into sub-Twilight soap ...
- The 5th Wave makes no secret of its lust to pick up from The Hunger Games and horn in on some of that dystopian Divergent teen love.
- At times, 'The 5th Wave' comes close to feeling like Paul Verhoeven's great propaganda parody 'Starship Troopers,' but this film is sorely lacking in irony - if there is any camp or humor to be found (and there is some) it's mostly unintentional.

Summary:
'Remarkable, not-to-be-missed-under-any-circumstances.'—Entertainment Weekly (Grade A)
The Passage meets Ender's Game in an epic new series from award-winning author Rick Yancey.
After the 1st wave, only darkness remains. After the 2nd, only the lucky escape. And after the 3rd, only the unlucky survive. After the 4th wave, only one rule applies: trust no one.
Now, it's the dawn of the 5th wave, and on a lonely stretch of highway, Cassie runs from Them. The beings who only look human, who roam the countryside killing anyone they see. Who have scattered Earth's last survivors. To stay alone is to stay alive, Cassie believes, until she meets Evan Walker. Beguiling and mysterious, Evan Walker may be Cassie's only hope for rescuing her brother—or even saving herself. But Cassie must choose: between trust and despair, between defiance and surrender, between life and death. To give up or to get up.
'Wildly entertaining . . . I couldn't turn the pages fast enough.'—Justin Cronin, The New York Times Book Review
'A modern sci-fi masterpiece . . . should do for aliens what Twilight did for vampires.'—USAToday.com
Excellent book!
Great start to a series.
Good book! I really like all the characters! Can't wait to read the next one!!
The book and movie are wonderful. I love the back and forth between narrators as it adds dimensions to the story.
This is a great book. I like a got hook and this book had one.
Really enjoyed this book! Moving on to second in the series.
Great Book! I enjoyed the fast paced story and the female main character.
I listened to this book in audiobook format and enjoyed it, for the most part. Hostile aliens have invaded earth, but no one has actually seen them. They've decimated the human population however, and there are only a handful of survivors left. The story focuses on Cassie Sullivan, the 16 year old protagonist, and her quest to keep a promise. The story was interesting and suspenseful, with enough twists that I took the long way to work so that I could keep listening! My issue with this book was with Cassie. I just found her overall rather unlikeable and annoying. While she was strong and brave, and I admired her quest, I just found her a little too whiny, petty, and self-centered for my tastes. I wouldn't let that stop me from recommending the book though. It's a minor hiccup in an otherwise enjoyable book.
Way better than the movie, it tells you a lot of stuff that didn't happen in the movie, or that was completely different than the movie, I will recommend this book to anyone who ask me about it, I really like it
This book droned on forever. I guess I didn't realize it was a young adult book so the teenage twittering really got to me. Narration was good though :)
