Performances are equally uninspiring. The boys in supporting roles still do a decent job but Chloe Moretz fails to cash in on her lead role. The film comes across as an underwhelming fan tribute to Twilight and The Hunger Games series. Watch ‘other’ films instead.

While the first, second and third waves are well represented visually, the fourth and fifth one doesn’t come through as forceful . The action and the rebellion thereof , and in that light, look a little feeble and directionless. And the film ends expectedly as a step-up for what is to come next. So there isn’t any great climax to speak of here. The tone and tempo of the film create interest but the unredeemable contrivances and the unconvincing narrative spiel just leave you cold. Don’t expect to be shaken or stirred!
