Movie Review: Divergent
Hey Everyone!!
Here's another movie review!!
So again, just like The Maze Runner which I reviewed today as well, we watched Divergent for Christmas! Now, I actually saw this one when it was in theaters, but for some reason I guess I completely forgot to review it!
Description and picture from IMDb:

Description and picture from IMDb:
In a world divided by factions based on virtues, Tris learns she's Divergent and won't fit in. When she discovers a plot to destroy Divergents, Tris and the mysterious Four must find out what makes Divergents dangerous before it's too late.
My Thoughts:
Just like the first time, the second time I saw Divergent it was still really good! We actually own this one now, it was a Christmas present, so I can watch whenever!!
Anyway, another Dystopian, where I couldn't get into the book. To be fair, I may have not been in the mind set when I first started reading this one, but I also own it on Audiobook, so maybe one day I'll give it another chance!
The movie, on the other hand, is really great! I love the concept of a world split into different sanctions. I wouldn't want to live like that, but the concept is none-the-less very interesting! Tris, played by Shailene Woodley (The Fault in Our Stars and The Secret Life of an American Teenager) does a great job playing someone who is very scared but pretending to be very brave. Such a great character!
Four, played by Theo James (Underworld: The Awakening) was another great character! Both him and Shailene are who made this movie this amazing!
Overall rating:
Again not a movie I would watch over and over again, only because of the seriousness of the storyline, but this a really good movie! I definitely recommend this one, even if you're not a dystopian fan!
The Romance Bookie :)
I haven't seen the movie. My reaction to the book was,"okay, but I won't bother with the sequels." As for the virtues, it ade me think of Hogwarts houses, only the villains are the Ravenclaws. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI liked the books and the movie a lot :) can't wait for Insurgent, it's out in March.
ReplyDeleteI liked the book as well. Need to read the others.
