8.5/10 - This is my favorite one of the three movies. Usually I like the first movie / origin story the most but this movie brings a big change to the story/world. Story-weise I still like the first movie the most but this one shifts the setting to post-cyberpunk and introduces a lot of interesting concepts to think about and also shows lots of cool Sci-Fi technology.

The post-atomic-war setting with the few human oases is nice to begin with. Then there's cool technology like the plasma globes, personal recon/guardian drones, transport drones/ships, cloaking technology, etc. Then there's the surveillance technology which brings up interesting ethical questions (as does the whole human experiment of course). Genetic modification is also an interesting Cyberpunk topic that I like and that raises a lot of important ethical questions. It's also something that's quite relevant as I believe that we're pretty close to making this a reality (maybe 25-100 years? AFAIK we're already quite far with cloning and IIRC there was already a human experiment in China to genetically modify the eye color of a baby).

Also: Unsurprisingly Peter turned again and unfortunately he still doesn't quite get what he deserves (but that'll likely change). I'd really like to see how this story ends. It sucks that the forth movie was cancelled...

When you don't compare it to the book all the time, it's not that bad.

Critics have panned this, but I thought it was actually quite good. Shailene Woodley continued to be great as Tris and although the other characters appeared to have little to do, the plot moved along well and ended with a great premise for the final movie. Sure the series has not been as strong as the Hunger Games, but then the original story wasn't and it doesn't include Jennifer Lawrence

Am I the only one rooting for Miles Teller’s character throughout the Divergent series? I think he really brought that character to life. :ok_hand_tone3:

It seems this is a 3 part trilogy;
Divergent (2014)
Insurgent (2015)
Allegiant (2016)

Either the past movies failed at realizing what this series is about or I totally didn't get them. To me, this was at a whole other level. I am actually looking forward to the next installment.

It is a little frustrating that Hollywood has again turned the last book of the series into two parts. However, this is very entertaining, decent action, good special effects, and a silly but engaging plot line. I know many won't agree, and the critics have been particularly harsh, but this is not as terrible as people have made it out to be. Science fiction is a license for writers to create new and visionary worlds so it is unfair that people are being negative over the story. It's not realistic and it was never meant to be. It's a fantasy and a very enjoyable one.

I like divergent series especially the first one but Killing tori of very early in the film there was no need for it weak death and they didn’t really have the depth to the characters to care to much which is sad.
