Divergent

            The new movie Divergent came out about two weeks ago and is a complete hit for a movie to see. The movie can be seen by both females and males, and also young and older people, so it is a really good movie to see.

            The movie is based upon a book series called Divergent by Veronica Roth about a dystopian society that has to live by the rules and follow the structure within the society to follow the rules. I have not currently read the books, I believe there are three of them and I have heard from multiple friends that the book series is extremely good, and contains three books (so it’s a trilogy). Maybe in the future I will read them, but for once I have actually watched a movie of a book series I want to read before actually reading the book. But I heard from people overall that compared to the book the movie was okay, that they left out some major details, so most people if you have read the books might kind of be annoyed by the movie in that aspect.

            I thought that the movie was really good, then again I didn’t actually read the books for once. I honestly think this kind of reminded me of like the Giver, the Hunger Games, and City of Ember because the main focus of those books is like a dystopian type society that must follow and obey all the rules or will be punished. I think though compared to the Hunger Games movies I definitely prefer the Hunger Games movies (the first and the second, Catching Fire) and I really liked the movie; City of Ember because the main actor and actress I really liked, I think they did a really good job in that movie. But back to Divergent, the movie was overall good since it had a lot of action and suspense going on; and of course some romance to add to the spice of it all between the main actress Shailene Woodley who plays Tris and Theo Games who plays Four in the movie. Also they add some humor in the movie between all the characters within the certain faction that Tris had chosen.

            I think the movie did a good job, my favorite part in the movie was during all the action at the end and the whole really cheesy part of where Four wakes up and remembers Tris, but the part that was the worst part in the movie is when Shailene Woodley starts crying because of her characters mum had died, I just thought it was a pretty pathetic way to cry and just seemed so fake, so that’s the part I disliked the most. But this movie is definitely one of the top movies to see of this year. And it’s even funnier since the movie that comes out later in the year called the Fault in Our Stars is a romance with Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort…And in the Divergent movie they are brother and sister which I just think is hilarious. So yeah, this movie was really good and I recommend seeing it eventually whether it be in theaters or at home.
