Review of Divergent (2014) by Greg H — 06 Dec 2015
Ehh, for a Hunger Games rip-off this ain't horrible. This is an obvious rip off of much better YA novel-movie series, but it is enjoyable. Shailene Woodley is great in this movie, and everyone else is either serviceable or generic.
Jai Courtney actually surprised me by not being completely boring in this movie. Kate Winslet phones it in completely, as does Miles Teller. The writing is less than great, and there are many stupid moments.
The beginning is horrible, but it slowly starts getting more and more interesting. No action in this movie is memorable, but is enjoyable while watching. The directing and cinematography are good, and the music is great.
The CGI and greenscreen are extremely noticeable. Overall, this movie is generic, but enjoyably so. 6/10.
