Review of Insurgent (2015) by Amara N — 18 May 2015
Unlike a fair portion of other Divergent fans, I found this a much more satisfactory movie than its predecessor. The plot line was fast-action, and easily kept me engaged with the story. Although certain aspects of the movie did not step in synch with the book, I was still able to enjoy it. (Normally, I don't judge movies based on the books.) Although I found the ending disappointing (particularly all the built up tension of the box, when the box itself wasn't as meaningfully important as I thought), the movie "Insurgent" easily has me tuned in for Allegiant Part 1.
On the negative side, I found that the movie seemed to have a similar infrastructure to the first one, and the two aren't very distinguishable. And although the movie mounted the tension throughout, the ending was so unsatisfying that I took off a star.
In spite of the disappointing ending, Insurgent was adrenaline-inducing and easily notable amongst dystopian franchises!
