What the heck?

Rating: 3/10 (18 August 2014)

OK, I'm not sure I got it. No wait, scratch that. I know I didn't get it.
I saw previews for this movie when I went to see Catching Fire in the theater. It looked good, something like Hunger Games, but I didn't have a strong desire to see it. Maybe because I read the Hunger Games books first and not this one, but it still interested me. I have to say, the previews did not successfully "preview" what the movie was actually about.
What happened to the whole divergent thing? It was touched on briefly during the main character's test (lord, I already forgot her name) and it was made a big deal of by the lady giving her test, and it was mentioned maybe three more times here and there, but this was not about a girl being divergent and at risk from her society because she was, like the previews made it sound. The previews made it seem that she was divergent, but not welcome in her society, and therefore had to learn to survive with others like her. The movie was nothing like this. For a movie that was categorized in the same genre as Hunger Games (teen survival) it definitely fell short.
I have a feeling this series is going to turn into a franchise that could have been told in one book/movie. So far, this first installment proves that.
