#THE 5TH WAVE CHARACTERS SERIES#

Blakeson and production designer Jon Billington lie in the apocalyptic wasteland scenes: a highway filled with crashed cars, corpses piled up, orange fires raging through a dark landscape. His rifle is taller than he is.) A new member of Ben's squad, a deadpan teenage girl nick-named Ringer ( Maika Monroe, in a fun performance), challenges his authority, but is an asset in battle. The kid-soldier episodes have an inadvertent absurdity to them, especially when Ben, squad leader, yells at one of his comrades while taking enemy fire: 'Stay low!' (The child can't help but 'stay low'. The trash-talking kid-soldiers play poker in their barracks, go through weapons training, all under the watchful eye of Colonel Vosch's hard-assed medical assistant ( Maria Bello). Here, it takes on an embarrassing 'Blue Lagoon'-ish quality - especially when she peeks longingly at his sculpted torso while he bathes in a river.)Д«en Parish is taken off with the other kids to an Air Force Base, and put through military boot-camp for the upcoming fight against The Others. What would have happened if Cassie had been rescued by a guy who looked like Wilford Brimley? (In the book, the Evan Walker section is extremely strange and suspenseful. He also has blazing baby-blues and rock-hard abs. Cassie, determined to find her brother, camps in the woods, is shot in the leg by a sniper, and then rescued by a farm-boy named Evan Walker ( Alex Roe). The narrative splits between Cassie's journey and the journey of her high school crush Ben Parish ( Nick Robinson, believable as a boy who has been completely traumatized). Vosch, at first a savior who takes charge, has more up his sleeve, and Cassie is left to flee through the woods, clutching her little brother's beloved teddy bear. One day, Army tanks show up (the military is immune to the power outage, a fact never explained), and the intimidating Colonel Vosch ( Liev Schreiber) carts the children off in school busses to an undisclosed location, promising the panicked adults that they will soon follow. The rest of the family trek to a makeshift refugee camp in the woods (where everyone is armed to the teeth). And the fifth wave, unknown, is imminent.Д¬assie's mother dies in the plague.

The fourth wave involves snipers who stalk and kill the survivors of the other waves. The third wave is a plague that kills millions more.

The second wave is a series of tsunamis that wipe out coastal areas. Then come the different 'waves' of attack from the aliens referred to as ' The Others.' The first wave is an electromagnetic pulse that kills the power across the globe.

Her 'normal' life disappears when a mysterious object appears in the sky over earth.

Cassie lives with her parents ( Ron Livingston and Maggie Siff) and her little brother Sam ( Zackary Arthur).
