The 5th Wave | Official Trailer

Whenever a movie adaptation trailer comes out, I feel the sudden urge to read the book—because I always prefer to read the book first before watching the movie. I don't really know much about The 5th Wave aside from the fact that it's a science-fiction trilogy (?). I heard some amazing things about the first book, but there are quite a lot of mixed reviews for the sequel—so I was a bit hesitant to jump into this series. But now that the movie adaptation is nearing its release, I feel like I should risk it and start reading the first book. If you haven't seen the trailer, go watch it below ;)

"I may be the last one, but I am the one still standing. I am the one turning to face the faceless hunter in the woods on an abandoned highway. I am the one not running, not staying, but facing."

Judging from the trailer, the main conflict of the story will come from this alien-thingy they call 'the others'. And there will be several 'waves' that they will encounter; starting from darkness—when all the powers will be taken away, destruction—which is like a tsunami kind of thing, infection—some sort of disease that will cause a lot of deaths, and invasion—in which 'the others' will inhabit human bodies. Those are the first four waves, so I guess the fifth wave will be revealed later on in the story.

 

I feel like there's going to be a lot of action involved in the movie (and book) because it's kind of like the end-of-the-world story which will surely be intense. And it reminds me a little bit of The Host by Stephenie Meyer in which the alien also inhabits human bodies. I was hoping that the trailer would be a lot more grand, but I guess this isn't too bad either. I love Chloë Grace Moretz and I know she's going to do an amazing job portraying her character in this apocalypse situation. And I'm very excited to see Nick Robinson—who's really cute by the way—even though I still have no idea what kind of role he will play in the story. I just hope that he'll do better than his role in Jurassic World.

Have you read The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey? Are you excited to go watch this movie?
