Review of Insurgent (2015) by Healingtoolbox1 — 25 Mar 2015
Another genre movie made very professionally viewers expect too much from. Insurgent is almost twice the filmmaking of the first Divergent film. The directing has gone from "after school special" in too many places to very close to the production values and acting of recent Marvel movies.
With better direction, teh two leads shine even more brightly and the supporting cast is handled with unusallly deft sensitivity for a genre outing.
The Dauntless sim that is in the trailer is longer. For me it's the most memorable piece of action sci-fi filmmaking since the end of Doug Limon's Edge of Tomorrow, probably better known as Live, Die Repeat.
What sets Insurgent apart from marvel movies is the greater emotionality/ I liked it. I know it's there because of the young female audience; still, it's well done. Compare the emotional integrity of Insurgent with the lack of emotional integrity in Captain America Winter Soldier, and you see Insurgent measures up well to Marvel movies generally.
