Did you know
- TriviaScenes were filmed on Cotton Avenue in Macon, Georgia, which was made to look post-apocalyptic. Some buildings were damaged by pyrotechnic effects, including a bus explosion that damaged several businesses. Some residents called the city, wanting them to pick up the trash on the streets.
- GoofsWhen the squad of kids are sent out at night to kill The Others, they wear black uniforms and move stealthily, but their helmets have bright lights, making them easy targets.
- Quotes
Ben Parish: What did we do to deserve...
Colonel Vosch: Nothing. Other than occupy a space we need. We're not that different, Ben. Your kind would do exactly the same thing.
Ben Parish: No. Our kind wouldn't have wiped out an entire species.
Colonel Vosch: Of course you would. You've been doing it for centuries.

"The 5th Wave" is a bit different from other alien attach films because there is no widespread battles in urban areas. There is not even an alien looking creature in sight! That keeps mystery alive and suspense going. The first few waves unfold quite quickly, and the fifth wave takes time to develop. Just when things seem to be a certain way, there are multiple plot twists happening together which makes the film even more interesting. The guy playing Evan Walker is very handsome, I hope to see more of him in future films. Another good thing is that "The 5th Wave" is not preachy at all, unlike a similar recent film "Tomorrowland". I enjoyed watching "The 5th Wave".
