#THE 5TH WAVE BOOKS MOVIE#
It reminds me of another movie based on a book, where people didn’t understand why the two main characters fell in love, because none of it was shown in the movie. However, it seemed like they kind of went through all of the story pretty quickly, and like the review that the author tweeted about today, you didn’t really get to know the characters through the movie that well. I was worried that maybe they wouldn’t include Cassie’s journal since Owen’s eyes weren’t brown, but they did. Going in with lower expectations, I was able to enjoy it. This is one book that should definitely not be judged by its movie. On the other hand, the movie is a fun, thrilling ride that will leave viewers on the edge of their seats. So the real question here is, should you see The 5th Wave? My short answer is, yes! For those who are fans of the book, there may be some disappointment that is all too typical for readers as the book strays from the original storyline. Without spoiling the movie, let’s just say that there are times where the characters are in awkward situations that are very unrealistic to the plot. Also, there were quite a few moments in the movie that were so ridiculous that the entire audience was laughing out loud. However, there was more tweaking of the story here than needed to happen in my opinion and left me scratching my head at a lot of the changes and their relevance to the story itself. Many details and scenes must be omitted or condensed to get the story to the screen. Admittedly, to transform an almost 500 page novel into a movie is most likely a daunting task.

The 5th Wave Book is Amazingįirst of all, how can one not fall in love with the amazing The 5th Wave series created by Rick Yancey? The frightening world that earth becomes when aliens have taken over the planet is realistically written through alternating perspectives, which gives the reader a very well-rounded impression of the scenes in the story. While the movie absolutely contains many incredible scenes that are captivating and well-acted by its fantastic cast, there is so much deviation from the story that I felt annoyed at parts of the film.
