Review of Divergent (2014) by Markellus R — 01 Dec 2014
Surprisingly well looking movie, considering there seems to be a over load of Post apocalyptic teenage adventure movies out these days. Instead of just feeling like a "Hunger Games" rip off, this movie does a nice job of setting up a place full of interesting characters. My main issue was how long it took to get to the meat of the story. It's cool to see all the challenges our young hero has to face in order to prove that she's just like everyone else, but after a while it just felt like too many challenges and not enough story.
Once the plot started to move ahead, the story became more satisfying albeit cliched. Still a very enjoyable YA adventure movie with great performances.
