Review:
Neil Burger has brought yet another masterpiece to the big screen, the first one being Limitless, starring Bradley Cooper, Abbie Cornish and Robert De Niro. The audience are introduced to some famous faces in the acting industry and to some new ones as well.
When Beatrice "Tris" Prior (Shailene Woodley) find out that she is a Divergent, a person who is considered dangerous in their society, she must choose whether to stay in her faction, transfer to another one, be faction less or be killed. She eventually chooses a faction and tries her to keep her secret. A Dauntless trainer name Tobias "Four" Eaton (Theo James) finds out about her secret but chooses to keep quiet about it.
The film was really a great entertainment with its colorful casts and extreme stunts. Burger really did well using actors who are experienced in different kinds of genres of movies. Kate Winslet
really showed that she can play any role given to her and what a despicable antagonist she can be. Zoë Kravitz was almost unreconizable, shifting from the hot and seductive Angel Salvadore in X-Men First Class to the tough yet friendly Christina. Theo James really transformed from the cold hearted killer David in Underworld:Awakening to the strict yet gentle hearted Tobias.
What really gave this reviewer a pause was the lead actress Shailene Woodley as Beatrice "Tris" Prior. She used to have been a typical girl next door, undeceive and dependent in The Secret Life of an American Teenager and rebellious in The Descendants but for her to be so daring and fierce was really a shocker. After an hour I was convinced that whoever did the casting did a swell job, as Woodley represented the fearless and intelligent Beatrice Prior spectacularly.
The runs for 139 minutes which is a bit long. There were some scenes that seemed dragging but the action scenes and beautiful dialogue really made the audience stick their eyes to the screen. The plot was clearly set into a distant future but what happened to rest of the world was oblivious to the audience and all we know is that there was a war and that some places still hasn't recovered from it.
Despite some shortcomings, Divergent is exciting and thrilling. Set in a dystopian post-apocalyptic Chicago, Divergent has the same action packed sequence and plot as The Hunger Games and Catching Fire and the romanticism of The Twilight Saga but is definitely better than the these combined, that leave you at the edge of your seats, make you want to watch it over and over again and still leave craving for more. This is definitely one movie
that is worth your time.
