Review of Allegiant (2016) by Nicky G — 21 Aug 2016

The Divergent series is brought to a close with the suspenseful sci-fi thriller Allegiant. As Chicago breaks down into mob rule Tris and Four escape to the wasteland outside of the city and find a hi-tech community that's trying to rebuild society; but Four soon uncovers a dark side to what they're doing.

Jeff Daniels joins the cast and delivers an incredibly strong performance. And the special effects are extraordinarily good, creating some really inventive future tech. However, the plot is rather thin and kind of skims over a number of the events from the book.

Also, most of the characters are underdeveloped. Still, while it comes off as a bit rushed and formulaic, Allegiant is entertaining and action-packed.
