They were downloaded with false histories and memories of their times 'before being human' to convince them otherwise.
It is later seen that all the Silencers are really humans who were enhanced, most from the time they were fetuses in the womb, by use of alien nanotechnology. This made it hard for the remaining human population to trust in anyone now as they cannot tell who is truly human or a silencer.
#THE 5TH WAVE GAME FULL#
They have programmed themselves into certain humans and have full control of them.
They were called "Silencers", as it was their job to kill much of the remaining human population. The Fourth Wave was when the Others began to physically appear on Earth among the humans. There were some people, like Ben Parish, who were able to fight the virus off and recover. Lisa Sullivan (Cassie's mother) died from The 3rd Wave, Cassie described that Lisa "didn't recognize her," due to a total shutdown of the brain's nerves and response systems. Eventually, the virus would take hold of their victim's mind, and the infected person would die in a "series of seizures." The infected people turned into viral bombs that spread the infection to all the other people nearby. People infected with the virus first exhibited cold-like symptoms, and it progressed from there to the point where "blood poured out of every inch of your body". With over 325 billion birds, "the Others couldn't invent a more efficient delivery system." The virus developed within the birds( via falling excrement)and then became airborne. The 3rd Wave was spread throughout the globe by the use of birds as the carriers of the disease. Also known as the "blood plague", "the Red Death", and "the Fourth Horseman", the Others genetically engineered this virus to have an almost-perfect kill rate. The Third Wave starts as a plague that wiped out around 97% percent of the remaining human population. Third Wave: A highly contagious and lethal plague Cassie mentions the 2nd wave took out 3 billion people. This resulted in far more deaths than the first wave by a considerable amount. Cassie reasons this was because a great degree of the human population lived by the coasts. This including several major metropolises such as New York, London, Paris, Tokyo, Sydney and Los Angeles. The Second Wave was a literal wave: judging from Cassie's recount, the Others dropped some form of a metal rod from the height of the atmosphere onto one of the earth's fault lines, which then resulted in earthquakes and massive tsunami waves that wiped out all coastal cities on all seven continents. Second Wave: Literal waves from Tsunamis flood Coastal cities This had the effect of causing all cars and other motor vehicles to crash into each other or into buildings and brought airborne planes crashing from the sky.Ĭassie mentioned that the first wave killed around half of a million people. It was a massive EMP strike, an electromagnetic pulse, that effectively shorted out all forms of technology and objects that ran on electricity (i.e.: cars, cellphones, etc.). Expect sequels.The First Wave, as its name implies, was the first of the five (current) waves to be used by the Others. And yet the source novel is part of a trilogy. Moretz - so spirited in “ Clouds of Sils Maria” and the “Kick-Ass” movies - reduced to constant mooning at Mr. Or so they are instructed by an imperious colonel (Liev Schreiber) and sergeant (an uglified Maria Bello).īen, Cassie and Evan converge at the base in an awkward meeting that segues into a remarkably unclimactic climax. At the same time, her high school crush, Ben (Nick Robinson of “Jurassic World”), is groomed to lead a squad of child and teenage commandos (including the delightfully astringent Maika Monroe, from “It Follows,” in goth eye shadow) in fighting the Others. When the kid brother of Cassie (Chloë Grace Moretz), an Ohio teenager, is whisked away to a military outpost, she resolves to reclaim him, with help from the hunky, mysterious Evan (Alex Roe). Extraterrestrials, the Others, have been conquering Earth in successive “waves”: with a power blackout, tsunamis, pestilence and infiltration in human form. Through such dystopian window dressing, a love triangle strives to emerge. Adapted from Rick Yancey’s young adult novel, the glossy if muddled “ The 5th Wave” blends the alien overlord airships of “Independence Day,” the natural disaster effects of “The Day After Tomorrow” and the auto-wreck-strewn highways of “Zombieland” with a dusting of “ Invasion of the Body Snatchers.”
