“The Fifth Wave” (** out of four) was a lackluster disaster thriller starring Chloe Grace Moretz as a young girl trying to save her younger brother after they are separated in the midst of four waves of deadly alien attacks which leave the Earth decimated and in a state of impending chaos. Some impressive special effects in the beginning and Moretz’ empathic performance do their best to keep this on track but movie is too uneven and slow at times. It might be time to retire disaster movies for a while because virtually all of them we’ve seen before.
