Review of Insurgent (2015) by Lovro H — 10 Jul 2016

Easily the most hilariously bad movie I've seen this year, so far. Insurgent continues from where Divergent left us at and we follow Tris and her pals as they try to stop Jeanine from doing what she wants to do.

Just like in the first movie, the story makes no sense and the characters are beyond stupid to do anything smart. Peter is probably the stupidest character I've ever seen. One moment he's with Tris, the next he's against her, then he's for her again, it gets to the point where you don't know who he's for and are just expecting another plot twist regarding his character, it's very dumb.

Speaking of stupid characters, Four. At about 20 minutes into the movie, our gang hops aboard a train and inside are a bunch of factionless people and they all start fighting and killing each other when all of a sudden, after about 4-5 people got killed, Four says his name to the leader of the factionless and they're good.

They're good. They stop fighting and start working together. This was so stupid I literally laughed out loud. Another one of those moments was when Four killed Eric, and before Eric got killed, he said something along the line of "I managed to live with the blood on my hands.

Can you?" and Four actually seems to be thinking about the blood on his hands, at least it looks like it, but I just couldn't get over the fact that by that point he had killed about 7 people in this movie.

Did this movie have a script? Or did they just improvise as they went along because there is no consistency here. There were also a couple of filming mistakes. My favourite is the one where Tris is being shot at and she's hiding behind a door, and there's bullet holes appearing behind her along with the sound of the gun, but once the shooting is done, a couple more holes just appear out of nowhere.

I had to replay it to believe it. Another one is Tris' hair which changes colours a couple of time during the movie, it's ridiculous. But the biggest mistake had to have been this movie. I found the movie to be so bad, it was actually fun at times.

The whole last 20 minutes were hysterical! Especially the moment they open some box and there's a message inside from the people beyond the wall which says that the divergents are vital for the survival of the human race.

And I couldn't contain my laughter. These idiots were trying to kill them the entire time. It was so hilarious. One more thing that I noticed is that there are a lot of coincidences regarding some of the stuff that happens, like people appearing out of nowhere to save our heroes and things like that.

This movie is a mess. It's horrible. I cannot say anything that's good about it, except maybe Shailene Woodley's performance, she's always good. All in all, another abomination which I really do not recommend, unless you want to laugh your ass off.
