Release Date: 15th January (US) - 22nd January (UK) Director: J Blakeson Starring: Chloë Grace Moretz, Leiv Schreiber, Maika Monroe, Nick Robinson With Katniss Everdeen making her bittersweet departure in November, and Tris Prior entering her final stages in 2016, there is a wide gap within the YA sub-genre that needs filling. Enter The 5th Wave; an apocalyptic vision of humanity in which society has been subjected to four surges of alien attacks, with the small remaining communities living in fear of a fifth assault. Moretz takes a much-earned leading role in a franchise that looks like it has the legs to progress. Aided by a strong supporting cast including Schreiber, Monroe, Robinson and Maria Bello, a trailer packed with moody, desolate tones, and an author (Rick Yancey) who is still busy completing his global-bestselling story, this feels like a robust January entry that deserves a chance despite its release window. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXIQC1fSt-o
