Diverge From This Film

Rating: 1/10 (26 December 2014)

First off, this is the first movie I felt strongly about enough to review. I cannot get behind the overall rating of this film. There's not much to say really, other than this was a complete waste of time. The movie trailer was completely misleading. Either this was the worst adaptation of book ever done, or the novel is terrible as well. Am I missing something here? How can they rip off every teen/girl power movie and have the storyline be so choppy? Apparently, there's sequels. How? It goes from Tris selecting a faction to training to a war with no development. The cast's chemistry is non existent. It's hard for me to blame the actors however, with this storyline and direction. With a budget like they had, I can't understand how this was such a huge disappointment. Bottom line, weak story, weak development, and unable to follow. The best way watch this movie is right before the power goes out.
