Holy fuck does this look uninspired as all hell.

Did you guys know that hope isn't actually a weakness? Us humans, huh?

 

[Slayven]

The 3rd wave TV show was good

 

[loaf of bread]

UFO ripped right out of District 9

 

[rtcn63]

Does this have Tracy Lords and Nostradamus?

 

[- J - D -]

"The Others see our hope as a weakness -- but they're wrong."

I literally cringed.

 

[Aselith]

I bet our hopium is actually a resource they came to Earth for but they are acting all tsundere about it.

 

[GavinGT]

I don't buy a single one of those actors as actually being the characters they're portraying.

 

[Orbis Tabula]

I want to see what happens after these movies. When the aliens go back home with their tails between their legs and tell all their friends "Yeah, stay away from that Earth place. We tried to kill them all, but we were only able to kill 97% of them because they had too much damn hope!"

 

[Colonel Nasty]

 

[BTM]

Every time they said "the others" all I could think about was this

 

[Dabanton]

Looks hilarious.

The best thing about these films is there always has to be an opposite as good looking as the main character in this case a mysterious good looking guy for Chloe M to smooch.

 

[DarkFlow]

Chloe Moretz is not a good actor.

 

[Lionel Mandrake]

At least the aliens didn't have sex with Lumbergh.

Spoiler

I still can't take Ron Livingston seriously.

 

[Grizzlyjin]

Is this based on a YA book series? It kinda had elements that you see in a lot of those.

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

Chloe Moretz is not a good actor.

Everybody was too busy being impressed with her pre-pubescent self being able to vocalize swear words like grown ups to realize this.

She is absolutely godawful in Hugo.

 

[Orbis Tabula]

I need to give a name to the mysterious alien invaders, but I want the audience to understand that I put absolutely no creative effort into it.

 

[Grizzlyjin]

Everybody was too busy being impressed with her pre-pubescent self being able to vocalize swear words like grown ups to realize this.

She is absolutely godawful in Hugo.

She was horrendous in Dark Places as well. She can always improve, she is still young. But I have zero interest in seeing her carry a project.

 

[GavinGT]

Putting the disaster in disaster movie.

 

[Inkvoterad]

The absolute disgust coming from everyone in that room. Amazing.

 

[a secret-boss]

all those waves?
must be weaksauce Aliens

traveled across Universe doesn't have giant laser cannon or Giant Tripods

 

[Seesaw15]

Chloe trying to get some of that YA money.

 

[Apt101]

Ah, I have this book. I started reading it but it is super derivative. I guess like most YA novels.

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

Flash ruins another mood

 

[LurkerPrime]

I just keep thinking of the First Wave instead.

Ah, I have this book. I started reading it but it is super derivative. I guess like most YA novels.

Oh is it based on a book? This explains literally everything about the movie.

 

[HoJu]

that was some TERRIBLE narration.

 

[Delio]

I will probably only check this out for Nick Robinson but going by this trailer who knows if he has a big part.

 

[plasmawave]

You know Chloe, we really are the fifth wave.

 

[ryseing]

Is this based on a YA book series? It kinda had elements that you see in a lot of those.

Yep and the book is horrible.

So much better YA stuff to adapt.

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

Yeah that looks generic as fuck

 

[DarkFlow]

Yep and the book is horrible.

So much better YA stuff to adapt.

Lol holy shit I looked it up on Wikipedia, right in the intro.

Critics have compared the book favorably to The Hunger Games and The Road,[1] and noted that it "should do for aliens what Twilight did for vampires."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_5th_Wave_(novel)

Good god.

It really sounds like a rip off of another crappy alien book, The Host.

 

[wanderingprostheyltite]

The absolute disgust coming from everyone in that room. Amazing.

I like how her hand is lifted off the fork in shock, the utensil itself is like wtf.

 

[Gnilres]

I think she's a pretty good actress but she can't really hold a movie.

 

[MattyG]

How to save money on your alien movie;

"They uh... inhabit our bodies. They look just like us. What do they really look like? Beats us k seeya."

Spoiler

Also steal the mothership design from District 9.

Also, she sounds incredibly bored for someone who is fighting aliens.

 

[valeo]

Is this based on a YA book series? It kinda had elements that you see in a lot of those.

Yeah; b-grade, but recognisable actors. Tick.

 

[Dude Abides]

Liev Schreiber what are you doing. Such a good actor always picks shitty projects.

 

[SimleuqiR]

The 3rd wave TV show was good

You mean The First Wave

 

[FoneBone]

Complete with low-rent Liam Hemsworth!

 

[jwk94]

The movie doesn't look bad. The Others is a horrible name though. This also looks like The Host taken a step farther.

 

[lastplayed]

Now I feel like watching The Fifth Element.

 

[masud]

That looks like a tv show on basic cable.

 

[cntr]

I'm going to enjoy the rifftrax.

 

[Messofanego]

YA strikes again!

 

[old]

It's coming out in January. That means even the studio knows it sucks.

 

[Dicer]

Will watch, no fucks given...

 

[copelandmaster]

Lol holy shit I looked it up on Wikipedia, right in the intro.

Hunky aliens incoming.

I mean shit, when the obvious love interest guy showed up, I was like 'and now I can't take this seriously. I bet he's an alien too.'

 

[Silkworm]

Hopefully Ray Donovan kicks some ass in this. ;-)

 

[Dereck]

So is Chloe playing Ellie in The Last of Us movie or what

 

[DarkFlow]

Hunky aliens incoming.

I mean shit, when the obvious love interest guy showed up, I was like 'and now I can't take this seriously. I bet he's an alien too.'

Lol, funny you say that.

From the book character breakdowns.

Ben Parish – a popular football player and honors student at Cassie's high school. While in high school, Cassie had a crush on Ben, but he never noticed her. He is described as being tall and buff with dark hair.

 

[EBE]

looks cool. I'll watch any piece of shit movie

 

[PHOENIXZERO]

The Gua have won! Why didn't anyone listen to Cade Foster? I would've paid to see this if it was a sequel to the show with Moretz being his daughter with Traci Lords' character or something. Hell, I'd even take a scene with Sebastian Spence. <_<

Hope she got paid well and upfront because that she was bleh.

You mean The First Wave

Damn good show, can't remember how it ended though.
