Reviews

“Bolstered by the sublime Chloë Grace Moretz and a surprising refusal to cushion the brutality of its setup, this dystopian detour is entertaining and engrossing despite its familiar parts.” – We Got This Covered

“The 5th Wave is a fun ride to take. It's got thrill, suspense, the classic love triangle and an end of the world scenario that we can't keep away from.” – The Young Folks

“An effectively decent post-apocalyptic, young-adult, world-in-the-balance survival thriller.” – Variety
