The Divergent Series: Allegiant joins a growing list of tween novel adaptations that have been split into two movies, along with Harry Potter, Twilight and The Hunger Games. But given its stagnant plot, one-note characters and cobbled-together universe, this latest entry in the franchise may be the worst candidate yet for doubling up.
In Allegiant, Tris (Shailene Woodley) finally goes beyond the wall surrounding Chicago, where she and her friends discover a high-minded, scientific community that's been watching their every move -- and, surprise, they're as blatantly sinister as the faction-based government from the previous two films. So instead of just taking down one corrupt faction, Tris and her friends must confront the outside world and deal with the scientists trying to control their city.
Of course, bigger doesn't always mean better. If anything, Allegiant is the weakest Divergent movie yet -- and that's saying something. The storyline is aimless at best and frustrating at worst. For one thing, none of the characters ever seem to ask the right questions -- I guess because if they did there would be nothing for them to do. Tris is probably the worst offender of this, as she interacts with Jeff Daniels' obvious bad guy character -- who, by the way, can barely keep a secret from his own people, let alone the main characters and the audience. That's not to mention the relationship drama between Tris and Four (Theo James), which is as eye-rolling as ever.
Allegiant is a prime example of everything that's wrong with modern YA sequels. Instead of embracing or building upon its core themes and constructs, it tears them all down with a wrecking ball of CGI and nonsensical storytelling. While the new movie at least tries to replace the old with some new, the execution falls flat and hardly makes any sens...
