As far as book-to-movie adaptations go, this was a fairly good one. I liked how the book, The 5th Wave, translated onto the movie screen. This book definitely fit as a movie since it was so action filled and fast-paced.
I will admit, I was skeptical of Chloe Grace Moretz as Cassie at first. I didn't think she could portray a hard-core, bad ass Cassie. She seemed to be to graceful (ha ha, pun! get it?) to be Cassie. I mean, don't get me wrong. I definitely believed that Chloe Grace Moretz could play a tough character because she played Hit Girl in the Kick-Ass movies. But I still saw her as the elegant and somewhat fragile character of Mia from If I Stay. However, Chloe Grace Moretz ended up filling the role of Cassie perfectly. Throughout the movie, I was pleased with her performance.
Evan Walker though. No, seriously, I didn't really like Evan. I didn't like Evan in the book, and he was still extremely shady in the movie. I also didn't picture Alex Roe as Evan Walker. His performance was okay, but his character didn't really capture my attention.
On the other hand, I loved Nick Robinson as Ben Parish. I loved Nick Robinson in the ABC Family - um, I mean Freeform show Melissa and Joey. I thought he was great as Ben/Zombie.
Overall, this was a pretty good book-to-movie adaptation. It was terrible like the Percy Jackson movies, but it wasn't as great as the Harry Potter movies. I still found The 5th Wave movie to be enjoyable and fun. I really hope they continue making movies!
