Fairly good movie, missing seriousness, no special effects,...

Rating: 9/10 (14 June 2015)

The movie is about future society built in isolated Chicago after World War that devastated everything. No explanations what, who, when and where happened beyond that Chicago is pictured and you may not even recognize it unless you are from around.
You may find it is a great movie if you watch it relaxed and let your mind be taken to that place, their time and space. I started watching it completely unbiased, without any expectations in advance, taking "Let's see what this movie is all about" I found this movie surprisingly good.
But if your expectations are to see typical set-up: police, army, special forces, streets filled with cars, people in bars, good-kicks-bad fight and that alike (what is already in number of Hollywood movies, one may call it a stereotype of present); also if you start looking for logic in events and imperfections in scenes... then this movie is not for you, better skip it and instead re-watch Avengers, Hulk, Matrix, Harry Potter...
From technical point of view, this movie could benefit with a little bit more of special effects. Just to add make-up and polishing. Any CGI is contained within candidates psychological testing (watch and you will see what I mean), nothing else outside in their world.
The movie lacks a bit of seriousness. For example - take 'Dauntless' faction that suppose to be armed forces (peacekeepers, equivalent to police say at least)... Throughout the movie it looks like guys having a lot of fun and a bit of not-so-rough training. From that point you may take it as teenager movie.
Overall - recommendations for watching 'Divergent' and waiting to see its sequel.
