Think of all the things you liked about Independence Day. Now think of all the things you hated about Twilight. These are good jumping-off points for the very bumpy viewing experience that is The Fifth Wave.
The film is based on a series of young adult novels, which is a sentence I’ve written at least 100 times in the last four years. It stars Chloë Grace Moretz as a teenage girl who… you know what, it doesn’t really matter. It’s a dystopian future with fighting children, and she’s the one who’s got the pluck to bring the whole thing down, and maybe love-triangle some hunky male teens while she’s at it.
