Men Against Fire reminded me of The 5th Wave


Where they saw humans as aliens but with cheap CGI. God The 5th Wave was AWFUL! At least this episode gives the idea from The 5th Wave, justice.

It reminded me of an episode of the Outer Limits (1995) episode where two opposing sides took drugs that made the other side look like aliens.

Yes.

I think he is referring to First Wave, a 90s scifi TV show.

The 5th Wave has cult classic status in my books. I remember it fondly, because it was played on late-night syndication over here and I was watching it when I was still a schoolboy.

Fun facts:

*I still refer to the guy playing Joshya in the 5th Wave as Joshua, don't recall the actor's name but he has played in a ton of shows after this one. For me he's Joshua :D

*I had met a guy looking very, very, very much like Crazy Eddie in Athens, Greece. I had told him about the series back then but he didn't watch it. It was unreal, they could had been twins!

Heh. Haven't watched the episode yet :D

I was talking about the trash that came out in 2016

What show are you talking about? I can't find another with that name on IMDb. Surely you don't have fond schoolboy memories of a movie that came out like 6 months ago.

It reminded me of Oblivion, with Tom Cruise and Morgan Freeman.

There's a good reason it reminded you of The 5th Wave; because it was the exact same twist.

reply

Exactly
