As she prepares for the inevitable and lethal 5th wave, Cassie teams up with a young man who may become her final hope – if she can only trust him. Against a backdrop of fear and distrust, Cassie is on the run, desperately trying to save her younger brother. Starring Chloë Grace Moretz and based on the bestseller: In the new film The 5th Wave, four waves of increasingly deadly attacks have left most of Earth decimated. Here’s the official synopsis for The 5th Wave: And credit where credit’s due, that shot of the plane dropping from the sky is something straight out of one of my nightmares and gave me a full-body case of the chills. The YA trademarks are combined with a healthy dose of destruction porn, which if audiences haven't entirely wearied of either trend, could lead to beacoup bucks at the box office. It has a lot of the YA hallmarks - kids toting heavy artillery, sexy fight training, a teen on a mission to save the world - but it looks like The Fifth Wave has the promise to be more The Hunger Games than Divergent. This trailer kind of took me by surprise. The film opens January 15, 2016, and also stars Maika Monroe, Liev Schreiber, Ron Livingston and Nick Robinson. However, when Cassie meets Evan Walker ( Alex Roe), she’s forced to reconsider her tactics so she can track down her little brother Sammy ( Zackary Arthur).Ĭheck out the new The 5th Wave trailer below, via Sony.

The second wave brings tsunamis that wipe out the coasts. As we see played out in the trailer, the first wave sees the alien invaders known only as the “Others” knock out the world’s power.
