CINEMA: THE 5th WAVE

The 5th Wave is a new sci-fi movie directed by J. Blakeson and is based on the novel of the same name by Rick Yancey. I read the book and I love this survival kinda story, so of course, I have expectations for the movie. Indonesia has privilege to premiere this movie on January 15th, far different from US or worldwide premiere. I have no idea why and how but hey, let's talk about the movie! 

BOOKSHELF: THE 5TH WAVE

The 5th Wave is an AWESOME sci-fi read!  

I’ve always been interested in aliens, and who isn’t? It’s scary to imagine contact with other another species, especially one that might be inimical. There are million theories about what will happen and what they’ll want. But, I think that if there are aliens out there, Rick Yancey’s vision may not be so far from the truth. Everything is logical and explained, which makes it all the more terrifying!

I wish I read this book SOONER! 

The plot is brilliant! Perfectly paced and really smart. It alternates between suspense, action and character development. You never know what’s going to happen next and are continually blown away by each new expansion. It gets inside your head in a paranoia inducing way. Reading the 5th Wave is a little like watching a lion chase it’s prey. You want to look and you don’t. You want to keep reading because you are hooked but don’t because you’re afraid something bad will happen to a character you like.
