"What's the point of any of this?" asks Cassie. I kept hoping, but no such luck. It's a question that is never answered.

Ultimately squashed by a silly and generic love triangle that makes The Hunger Games look like Casablanca.
Leah Pickett, Chicago Reader
Rotten
The storyline is generic apocalyptic science fiction and feels a lot like an uninspired fusion of Independence Day and the TV mini-series "V".
James Berardinelli, ReelViews
Rotten
The whole thing appears to have been designed by some crazed Oedipal wing of the N.R.A.
Anthony Lane, New Yorker
Rotten
The 5th Wave plays like a Wayans-brothers spoof of movies based on dystopian Young Adult novels. Seriously, it could have been called YA Movie the way it wallows in all the overly familiar tropes of the genre.
