Review of Insurgent (2015) by Bradysmith — 21 Aug 2015
Despite some truly cool scenes, there is just too much that's bland, generic, and boring about this movie. For starters, it's not as good as Divergent. Yes, that movie had some problems but it was more exciting, more stylish, more emotional, more cerebral, more.
.. well, everything. This one is so uninspired and boring for so much of its running time. As a result of the blandness it becomes much easier to realize how much is borrowed from the Hunger Games and The Matrix.
Sure, the first one did this too but at least it did it entertainingly and with more intelligence than this one does. The simulation scenes are cool and there is a decent amount of them, but almost everything else is badly written, blandly executed and just uninteresting.
