Disaster movie or youth movie

"The Fifth Wave" is a youth romance film for high school students dressed in an adventurous thriller. It may be that the director wants to combine adventure with love, or he wants to combine thriller with warmth, but these points are not well reflected in the handling of the plot, which makes the film seem nondescript. In dealing with the love between Casey and Ivan, it began to be inexplicable. Is this the so-called love at first sight? In the part where Casey finds his gun, and the part where he finds that Ivan is a foreign body, what's the point of this kind of story unfolding. It is also inexplicable that Casey forgives Ivan, and Bobo is still in front of Ben, why is there such a plot arrangement.
After Ben learned that the colonel was a foreign body, the dialogue between them, maybe the director wanted to pay attention to ecology or nature or species, but it did not achieve the effect, just mentioned it briefly, and then there was no more, and there was no foreshadowing before. .
The director pays attention to many points, which are very big, but they are not enough to be reflected in these 112 minutes, and they do not highlight the key points. Instead, love takes up most of the film.

    The idea of ​​the story is actually okay, but I didn't capture the feeling.

The 5th Wave quotes

  • Colonel Vosch: [lecturing the children] When I was a child, I spoke as a child. I thought and I reasoned as a child. But when I became a man, I put away childish things. Those words never meant more to me than they do right now, looking at all of you. Our hope. Our future. The best and brightest vision of who we are and what we're fighting for.

    Colonel Vosch: [begins pacing] Our intelligence tells us The Others are readying themselves for a final attack. The 5th Wave. What form it will take, we do not know. If they are successful, there will be no more Waves. No more conflicts. Humanity as we know it will be wiped from the face of the Earth.

    Colonel Vosch: [becoming strident] Now, I'm gonna tell you some things I know. This is our world. It is our home. They will not over run it. They will not possess it. So with whatever time we have left, you will learn to think, speak, move, and fight like the soldiers you are. Let the weight of our loss fuel you. Let the weight of our dead embolden you. Let the weight of our hope drive you to victory. Can you do that?

    Colonel Vosch: Soldiers! Can you do that?

    Kids: [in unison] Sir, yes, sir!

    Colonel Vosch: Can you do that?

    Kids: [in unison] Sir, yes, sir!

    Colonel Vosch: [calmly] Good.

  • Ringer: [to Ben] I like to play chess. Do you play?

    Flintstone: [interrupting] No, actually. But if you wanna play some strip poker later on...

    Ringer: [throws a throat punch] Ha!

    Poundcake: Oh, shit!

    Ringer: And no demeaning, sexist remarks...

    [walks out]

    Teacup: She's cool.
