The 5th Wave

Hazel & Katniss & Harry & Starr

18-06-2024 • 47 mins

Brenna and Joe dip back into dystopian territory with The 5th Wave, Rick Yancey's 2013 novel and J Blakeson's 2016 film adaptation.

This one is unique because it's aliens, though we are still dealing with a Chosen One narrative and a potential love quad.

Plus: changing (sometimes inefficiently) perspectives, a film that moves too fast but is too long, putting film critics on blast, and whether we'll check out entries 2-3 in Yancey's trilogy.
