What happens

The 5th Wave is a 2016 American science fiction action film directed by J Blakeson from a screenplay by Susannah Grant, Akiva Goldsman and Jeff Pinkner, based on Rick Yancey's 2013 novel of the same name. The film stars Chloë Grace Moretz, Nick Robinson, Ron Livingston, Maggie Siff, Alex Roe, Maria Bello, Maika Monroe, and Liev Schreiber. Development began in March 2012, when Columbia Pictures picked up the film rights to the trilogy of novels, with Graham King's production company GK Films and Tobey Maguire's Material Pictures. Filming took place in Atlanta, Georgia, from October 2014 to January 2015. The 5th Wave was released in the United States on January 22, 2016, by Sony Pictures Releasing. Despite negative reviews from critics, the film was moderately successful, grossing $109.9 million worldwide against a $38–54 million budget. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
