Better than Hunger Games I suppose.

Rating: 5/10 (4 September 2014)

Divergent is another one of those big cast adaptations of best selling books that no one has eve heard of until the movie comes out.
I mean, I think I am in the loop with all things, but I never did hear of this one.
That said, and with my hatred of The Hunger Games, I still give this one a go...
Without being as cheesy and annoying as THG, Divergent focuses more on the bigger picture. Different societies as opposed to children, have issues with each other. Of course, there is the love story, although a bit later on which is good, and plenty of annoying characters who you don't mind seeing killed off if and when it happens.
The main cast is quite fresh faced still, but like those of THG, I didn't really take to them and didn't get much screen presence from them at all.
The film is watchable. Its far from the best thing out there, but it passes the time and has a few enjoyable moments.
I wouldn't rush out to get it, but if you are bored, give it a go!
