The Divergent Series: Allegiant

Terrible actress, Shailene Woodley, displays as much emotion as a doorknob. This has been obvious throughout the series but you would expect progression at some point. The plot had an immense amount of holes, was wholly obvious and annoyingly tedious. The exclamations during the flight sequence felt more like a Monty Python skit than being of any substance. No danger was felt for any of these characters. Awful, awful movie. Not even worthy of being called a popcorn flick. Three thumbs down.

"Allegiant" was one of the most disappointing ends to a trilogy that I have ever experienced. At the end, it felt like nothing was resolved or accomplished except that now everyone was more aware of their present situation. I enjoyed "Divergent" and "Insurgent" far more than this movie. I expected a much grander movie plot than "Insurgent" and was sorely disappointed. Jeff Bridges, who was supposedly the "villain" in this movie, had absolutely no teeth. Naomi Watts, as the rebel leader of the Factionless, was diminished to some minor warlord in an inconsequential country. After "Divergent" and "Insurgent", I was motivated to go read the entire trilogy. This movie completely killed that desire.

If you love books, or like the series so far or are interested in seeing this film, just see it for your self, you'll probably enjoy it. I can say its WAY Better than Insurgent and though the film does have its flaws it is a very enjoyable film. Also, the film is technically Allegiant Part 1 with Allegiant Part 2 (Ascendant) out by next year but this film IS NOT one half of a full story like other Part 1 films are (ex. Twilight: Breaking Dawn)
