Fifth Wave is a film that was released in 2016. The picture was shot according to the book of the same name, which simply made a splash around the world. Although the novel was widely recognized, critics did not appreciate the film, positive reviews could be counted on the fingers. Russian hire turned out to be very unsuccessful, authoritative publications noted a banal plot, a bad game and weak special effects.
Filming of the movie "The Fifth Wave", whose actors (photo below) are striking in their beauty, began in 2014 and took place in Atlanta. Unfortunately, although the picture paid off, due to negative reviews about the continuation, nothing is known. The original story is a trilogy, so fans can very well hope for a new part.
Plot of the film
Earth has undergone five stages of an alien invasion, in honor of the latter and the film is named.
Parents of the main character are killed during the capture, and his brother is taken to a military base. The girl goes to rescue him. Carrying out searches, the main character meets a guy. However, he is not at all who he claims to be. The girl soon understands this and learns all the details she needs to find her brother.
The end of the movie "The Fifth Wave" (the actors have repeatedly talked about the difficulties during the filming of this part) looks quite impressive. The guy with whom the main character develops relationships undermines the military base, thereby saving the children and themselves from persecution. The end is clearly hinting that a continuation shoot is planned. However, the creators of the picture do not comment on this.
Chloe Grace Moretz
It was this actress who was invited to play the main character Cassie because of the fact that, firstly, she is of the same age as her character, and secondly, it combines beauty and talent. During the filming, the creators of the picture more than once talked about the fact that Chloe is similar in character to her heroine, so it is easy for her to get used to the image. The same was confirmed by other actors of the movie "The Fifth Wave." The author of the original story says the same thing. He immediately liked this actress, so he did not represent anyone else in her place.
Despite her very young age, Chloe managed to star in many action games that received good reviews. In an interview, the girl repeatedly stated that she has been acting in action films since she was 11 years old, therefore she is able to perform all the tricks herself. If we talk about the character, the brother plays an important role in her life, because of this she is ready for anything to protect him.
Zachary Arthur
Before this actor was selected for the role of Cassie's younger brother (whose name is Sam), the casting department reviewed a lot of great options. The main selection criterion was that the boy did not look too small, but also would not be a teenager. This is due to the fact that too young an actor could not convincingly play a character who could endure all the trials, and too adult could hardly convey the whole gamut of emotions. That is why a child was selected who at his 9 years old had simply amazing talent. Actors of the "Fifth Wave" have repeatedly noted that the boy is playing great. And especially he has great emotional scenes. Zack is a pretty nice and funny guy in life.
Nick Robinson
Actors for the roles of Ben and Evan were selected rather hard, because it was necessary to show the guys, one of whom had not yet crossed the maturity threshold, and the second had only crossed it. Casting was large-scale, a lot of actors came to the test. It is worth noting that among them were residents not only of the United States, but also of Australia and the United Kingdom.
Nick Robinson is as talented as Chloe, who played the main character.
Ben is a character with a strong character. In his life, he was a defender in the school football team for a long time, had a lot of friends and was very popular. After the invasion of aliens, he changed and became a completely different person. Here is such a Nick in the movie "The Fifth Wave."
Actors with tremendous experience in this field have repeatedly noted how talented and smart the young man is. He easily developed new options for scenes and presented new ideas.
Alex Rowe
Alex Rowe said in an interview that he loved his character literally from the first lines of the script. Evan is a hero who had to find love, and then also survive its loss. After the invasion of aliens, he had to survive, so he was an emotionally closed person. Only after he met the main character, Evan was able to show all his best qualities. He was one of the few who catches the eye of the viewer from his first appearance in the movie "The Fifth Wave." Actors said that it was the main character who was able to give him hope.
Alex conquered the directors, screenwriters and producers with his own eyes, which could show the beauty of the soul, and look formidable and cold-blooded. The actor told how glad he was that he got this role.
Mike Monroe
Mike Monroe is another star approved for her role in the movie The Fifth Wave. Actors constantly in the interview noted her amazing character and ease of communication.
The girl got a role in the film after starring in a film based on Stephen King’s novel “It”. The character is quite complex. She had to play a professional sniper who simply could not show her weakness.
Ringer has been living with a broken heart for several years, but for those around her, she is an amazing person and an excellent specialist in survival. In Ben, she managed to see the best qualities, so she tries to awaken the leader in him. Only then can he change himself and help others. Ringer, like the actress herself, is quite lively and ready for anything to achieve her goal. The movie "The Fifth Wave", the actors and roles of which are briefly described in the article, was a great opportunity for Mikey Monroe to prove himself.
