Since I’ve already spent two hours and ten minutes of my time watching this movie, I’m going to keep this discommendation brief.
DIVERGENT lacked one key ingredient: entertainment. It was a slow moving train of boredom. A final round of editing may have drastically improved this movie by speeding up its lethargic pace. Additionally it lacked any thought-provoking socio-political insights or commentary. This kind of dull movie does not help the sci-fi genre.
On a positive note, I did like actor Theo James’ presence on the screen who played a moody and mysterious character called Four.
Not many movies deserve a sequel. The DIVERGENT franchise does not need to continue. However, I predict in thenot too distant future… sequels!
