Review of Divergent (2014) by Tbeit2 — 28 Jun 2017
One of the better YA novel movies. The film succeeds mainly as an origin story for Triss and seeing how she developed and realizes the danger she is in. The film does a good job building the world and introduces some great characters throughout that make you care about Triss's struggle. It also looks great (aside from the guns, which look horrible). The cinematography is beautiful and a joy to look at. Acting is also very good for the most part and it is a consistent movie.
It has its flaws, such as some mundane writing, some weird art design, some cliched story telling (I hope you like your intro and outro narration!) and could have developed some of the side characters more. But overall, I really did enjoy the film. I would give it a 7, but the fact that the cinematography is as beautiful as it is makes me bump it up just a point.
