Beatrice Prior must confront her inner demons and continue her fight against a powerful alliance which threatens to tear her society apart with the help from others on her side. Insurgent This movie is a sci-fi, action and drama movie based on a book by Veronica Roth, about a girl who is running with her boyfriend and brother from the enemy, while unleashing new secrets about her family's past and her mysterious Divergence. Sixteen-year-old Tris Prior (<a href=">Shailene Woodley) lives in a society divided into five factions. Each faction represents a different way of handling things. Erudite are the intelligent. Candor the honest. Abnegation the selfless. Amity the kind. Dauntless the brave. The Erudite have declared war against Abnegation, because they believe that they have important information about the Divergent, who are apparently dangerous for the faction-system. Haunted by her past, Tris must make choices that will change her. While running with her boyfriend Four (<a href=">Theo James)and her brother Caleb(<a href=">Ansel Elgort) from Erudite, who want to find her, because of her abnormal brain functioning. She and Four seek shelter in various faction headquarters with other Dauntless who have chosen to fight against Erudite's self-proclaimed, smug, superiority. Dauntless are plotting against Erudite, with other allies until Erudite begins to kill people if Tris doesn't sacrifice herself. Again, Tris must confront her inner demons and make a choice that may change everything. What she doesn't realize is that if she sacrificed herself the world they know may change forever. This wasn't too bad a sequel to the Divergent movie as it mostly serves as an "in between" movie. Kind of like Back to the Future Part II. It relies mostly on action scenes and special effects. The lead actress's performance was good and the action scenes carried it pretty well but only so far. I liked it pretty well though. If you are a fan of the series and are curious, you might give it a try. When I watched Divergent, I imagined it to be exactly like the book. After watching Divergent, I read the book and there was an immeasurable amount of detail missing in the movie that was displayed in the book. In other words, I expected Divergent to be like The Hunger Games series or the Harry Potter series, whose screenwriters and authors tried their hardest to explain the book into a movie and succeeded. I gave Divergent the benefit of the doubt. <br/><br/>I thought that maybe the writers for Insurgent would learn from their mistakes, but instead they made the second installment of the series an even bigger fail. The movie skipped many critical scenes that would help explain the key events. The ending of the movie was one of the few scenes that shook the crowd. Overall, I wouldn't recommend watching the movie, but rather the books. Veronica Roth is a great author and I highly recommend reading the Divergent series. The second installment of the Divergent series shows some symptoms of middle chapter-itis but in the end makes the most of a strong returning cast led by Shailene Woodley, slick direction from Robert Schwentke, impressive effects and a closely guarded plot twist.
