2 Days before I watched the divergent series and it was not at all good as before parts of this movie. I expected more from this movie.
Dying a painfully slow death with one unfortunate chapter left to go, this increasingly ingratiating Hunger Games knock-off already begot Divergent and Insurgent but merely begets Redundant with its latest. Oh, Allegiant ups the action and intrigue quotient from its predecessor but leaves you wanting less-not another helping.
Silly Dystopian politics give way to sillier Utopian politics. This series has always been about people not conforming to a forced stratum or phylum. It teases independent characters wanting to revolutionize and break free.yet they always end up in the same place. The Who's lament of Meet the new boss, same as the old boss got driven home quite intelligently and succinctly in The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2.
Here, however, it's Deja Skew all over again as The Divergent Series revisits this theme yet again after the previous flick, Insurgent, saw a similar change of nefarious administration. Unlike the viewers of Teletubbies, a children's program that stressed repetition as a way to learn, young adults and older audiences don't need constant reinforcement of a theme to hammer home a lame point. Worse, some of the tech and VFX seem lazy and uninspired. Worse yet, with dialogue like It's what we do for family ( this one even gets repeated for those Teletubbies out there) and You want peace with no struggle-the world doesn't work like that, it's a wonder this series made it this far at all.
Shalliene Woodley has always been the best part of this Hungrier Games, but now you just feel bad for her. After losing her chance to be part of a hit comic book franchise when wonky sequel The Amazing Spider-Man 2 killed further franchise potential, the very talented The Spectacular Now and The Fault in Our Stars actress is stuck in a series that should've ended now-not on hospice a year from now. At least one plus emerges. Miles Teller, who signed the contract to star in future installments of this franchise before the Oscar nominated Whiplash hit - looked like he didn't even want to be in the goings-on known as Insurgent ( Fantastic Four is another discussion altogether) . Here, at least, you feel his pain and appreciate his sarcastic tone all the more.
I don't recommend any one to watch this movie.
