That Movie Gay #2016


Chloe Grace Moretz had a bright career until THE 5TH WAVE came out.



Like teen novels this series is a 3 book trilogy, coming before it Twilight, The Hunger Games, The Insurgent/Divergent series etc, so this is not the first book series to turn into a film series.

Unlike Twilight and the Hunger Games this will not be a massive success, it's school holidays and I saw this with 5 other individuals, and in the current film climate there is not a whole lot else out there for teens. I know Star Wars has made it (I think) five weeks in a row at Number One in Australia but really, are the kids all still only watching this?

Anyway back to this picture, it's super average, the action scenes are average, Chloe has little to work with and the general storyline/plot is so half baked I was surprised Sony green lit this film project.

The best part about this film was it's duration, it wasn't too long. I am unsure if the other two books will be made into films but at this stage I would say no. Liev Schreiber is always extremely wasted in this film, was interesting to see what he does outside of Ray Donovan, but really he was wasted, however still handsome as fuck for his age.

Interesting as well Tobey Maguire produced this film, random. Other than this, it's another teen apocalyptic film with dire results for the human race.

Two Stars, one for Chloe, one for Leiv.
