Check Out The Official Trailer For THE 5TH WAVE

Following a stellar first look trailer earlier this month, the first official trailer for J. Blakeson’s January 29 release, The 5th Wave, is here. It’s another in the latest of popular YA novel adaptations and fittingly now with actress Chloë Grace Moretz leading the way with a staunch action role taking on an aliens in the midst of a systemic invasion while in search of her brother.

In the new film The 5th Wave, four waves of increasingly deadly attack have left most of Earth decimated. Against a backdrop of fear and distrust, Cassie (Chloë Grace Moretz) is on the run, desperately trying to save her younger brother. As she prepares for the inevitable and lethal 5th wave, Cassie teams up with a young man who may become her final hope – if she can only trust him.

It’s no secret that Moretz is the kind of actress I would love to see more of in action films. Donning the Hit Girl outfit for both Kick-Ass films lends credit to her in that regard, so while it’s unlikely she’ll wear the suit again, I’d say The 5th Wave is an adequate ride to enjoy next year with such a strong lead.
