Yeah easy win for Alien for me

 

[Marty McFourth]

Wasn't 5th Wave kinda bad? I remember watching it and hating it. I like Chloe Moretz but it's not really one of her best roles. It had some cool ideas but ultimately a forgettable film.

Alien EZPZ

Not seen 5th Wave. Don't think I've even heard of it. Alien doesn't need my vote anyway. Expect it to go far.

 

[Brandon Blaze]

Voting 5th Wave because some of it, not sure how much, was filmed in Macon. so I’m bias.
