Review of Insurgent (2015) by Heatherm — 12 May 2015
I enjoyed this movie significantly more than the first one, although I concede that it's in part just because it's easier to sympathize with and care about the characters and the world they inhabit with a longer viewing time.
But it was also neat to see the world fleshed out, and to see the homes and peoples of the other factions and the breadth of life within their walled city. The dystopian backdrop of urban decay was well used in this movie, as they're always moving in and around ruins.
The plot seemed more developed and focused in this movie, although there were several frustrating moments when it seemed like everyone was just making the worst decisions possible in the moment. Overall, I thought it was a neat movie, and definitely more interesting than the first; I expect I'll see the final installment in theatres, although I can't imagine I'd line up opening weekend for the chance.
