I'm a huge fan of apocalyptic, end of the world/mankind movies, so I went to see The 5th Wave with high expectations.
The first act of the movie is absolutely phenomenal, and it was very well crafted. The beginning of it tells about the first 4 waves (CGI guys and soundtrack really delivered here), and how Cassie survived through all of it, and consequently in the forest, really catching your attention. I haven't had so many goosebumps in a movie theater since 2014. Really excellent start.
"WOW! I told ya this movie would be great, look at all those tsunamis, and people dying, the army etc etc etc, this will be a 10/10" - was me telling myself that I was right about the movie...
...until halfway. About halfway in the movie Cassie meets a hot guy, and all that teenage-love-generic-Twilight-bullshit starts. She falls in love with him, he talks some awful lines, etc etc etc. Note here dropped by half. It became horrible. 5/10.
"But why is your vote 7?" Because of a particular scene - the one that Zombie's Squad is sent to a mission to kill The Others. Dude, that scene was amazing.
Would I see it again? For the action, oh yes I would. For the story and its development? No, they're too bad.
