That's exactly what this movie delivered. That is a mixture of genres perfect for a cliché young adult movie. Genres include science fiction, action, adventure, romance, and mystery. I also was intrigued by the chemistry between him and Cassie's little brother Sammy (Zackary Arthur) as co-soldiers without realising their respective relationships with Cassie. I'm intrigued to see where his character goes next. Being forced to step into a leadership role,-an abrupt transition from ordinary high school student- falling in and out of love, acting as a mentor to many, and then becoming a renegade. The only individual character which interested me was Ben (Nick Robinson) Cassie's high school crush. As for the characters themselves aside from the enigma behind each one, I didn't find most of them very interesting. None of the acting is stand-out, with much of the cast using their aesthetic as their primary asset. People such as Chloë Grace Mortez, Nick Robinson, Live Schreiber, Maika Monroe, Alex Roe, and Ron Livingstone star in the film. This is hardly an all-star cast, but there may be a few faces you would recognise. The opening sequence did hook audiences presenting a scene from later in the film. The decision to make the extra terrestrial to appear in human form was risky, and paid off in terms of secrecy, suspense, and plot twists, but it could also be seen as lazy not to physically bring the aliens to life using CGI. This may seem like an unimportant detail, but it does increase the believibility of the script and therefore will engage the audiences' emotions more effectively (for example, training children in the army in an apocalyptic environment). The possibility of the actions committed in this film occurring in a real-life reciprocation of this situation is highly unlikely. This film very much reminds me of the Divergent series, and makes it very unoriginal even to the extent where it becomes tacky. The ending does leave breathing room for a sequel which is yet to be announced at this stage. Viewers would be pleased to know that this is another movie adapted from a critically acclaimed young adult book trilogy written by Rick Yancey.
It proved difficult to identify that Cassie was intended to be the main character as more screen time was given to Sammy's experiences in the army which was far more interesting, albeit absurd, than Cassie meeting an untrustworthy older love interest played by Alex Roe.
Throughout the film scenes cross between perspectives of Cassie and Sammy.
