Two wasted hours

Rating: 1/10 (20 September 2014)

What do you get when a someone who knows literally nothing about psychology, sociology, neurobiology, bioengineering, or history tries to write a story involving plot points that require an intimate understanding of ALL those disciplines? Divergent. I have not been this annoyed at a movie since...I guess Sucker Punch? 1. Most people would be "Divergent". a. Most people have multiple skills b. Most people have different thought processes (there are 16 outcomes on Myers-Briggs, not 5...and even 16 doesn't truly cover every person: and often people get different results at different times) c. Δperson/Δtime !=0 (people change) d. Additional reasons are an exercise for the reader 2. Drug touted to be little more than truth serum makes remote control people puppets. 3. ASSUMING most people were not divergent, there would be no reason not to want them. a. Divergents clearly are willing to follow the rules of society - their multiple talents do not prevent them from accepting this path. b. Divergents bring unique skillsets to their particular jobs that would otherwise be unavailable to a given Faction. c. etc. 4. Assuming most people were not divergent, what could have caused such a dramatic psychological shift? I _really wanted to like this movie, it was perfect in many ways, but the core concept was so flawed I could only hate it. Syfy originals have more meat to them than this garbage.
