The Divergent Series: Insurgent

Films can test our imagination. This film has such a wide void between acceptable and ridiculous that any attempts to bridge this gap would only be in vain. The key points are so disconnected from being possible that human emotion can't allow itself relate. Extremely farfetched, even for fantasy.

Okay, before I start, this film is not an exact copy of the book, It is BASED off the book. So it doesn't have to have every single part from the book. Overview of the plot (SPOILERS): Tris (Shailene Woodley), Four (Theo James), Peter (Miles Teller) and Caleb (Ansel Elgort) arrive at Amity, the peace faction, but have to escape when Eric (Jai Courtney) gets there. They find Four's mum, Evelyn (Niomi Watts) in Factionless who want to make an army to take down Jeanine (Kate Winslet). They discover that Christina (Zoe Kravitz), Tori (Maggie Q) and the remaining Dauntless are hiding in Candor. They go there but get attacked by the Erudite. Jeanine makes people try to commit suicide to get Tris to go to her and help her open a box. Tris surrenders to Erudite and takes part in the simulations. Peter makes it looks like she dies and Jeanine falls for it. Tris goes back to finish the simulations and opens the box which has a message from outside the wall. Tris proves that Divergents were not the problem, they were the solution, and the Factionless arrive with the army and capture Jeanine. Later, in Jeanine's prison cell, Evelyn arrives and shoots her. My review: I love this film. It's probably the best in the series. The simulations in the box are just stunning. The actors are great. I recommend to fans of the Maze Runner and Hunger Games.

Although I really liked the books, which were really involving, I couldnt see how they were going to translate it into a film. Hunger games missed out pivotal parts of the book that left you crying while reading and mearly interested while watching, for example the Roo death scene and the injured Peter on the river bank scene. For this series of films the writers actually changed a lot of the plot around to make the characters more involving and likeable and spread the story out more evenly. BRILLIANT.
