Mar 19, 2015 · Directed by action specialist Robert Schwentke (“Red,” “Flightplan”), “Insurgent” surges along with capable set pieces but less meaningful human interaction than in “Divergent.” But at least two sequences deserve applause.

I quite enjoyed the first two-thirds of Divergent. At its best it was the type of high school movie—where characters worry about tests, try to make new friends, and navigate lunch table politics and crushes, all while trying to figure out what they’re good at—that doesn’t get made anymore. Now movie teenagers are always tasked with saving the world. And in the last third of Divergent that’s exactly what Beatrice (Shailene Woodley) began doing.
All that world-building explanation in Divergent—about how the remaining society formed camps of production to keep that society going, and how members found their way to each camp by passing virtual reality tests—just went out the window. These days, you can set up a world for only so long before that world has to be saved because there’s a wall that encloses people and the military is trigger-happy.
School is out forever in the Divergent series. And honestly, after all that set up, I don’t know that this world is worth saving.
Tris, her lover Four (Theo James), her brother Caleb (Ansel Elgort), and her on-again-off-again nemesis Peter (Miles Teller) are hiding from the power-hungry Erudite (the intelligentsia) in Amity (which is essentially the hippie commune of the Divergent series; they farm the land, and are conscientious objectors to conflict) at the beginning of Insurgent.
Tris’ mind is the only realm worth exploring in the Divergent series, because it allows her to become detached from the illogical world in which she resides.

Insurgent is the follow on from the film Divergent based on the books by Veronica Roth. I was lucky enough to go to a pre screening of this film in 3D IMAX, the graphics are beyond unreal and the story line is pretty good too.
