Very Different

Rating: 6/10 (13 August 2014)

When I saw this movie had been released I was almost immediately interested. So I went to see this movie with my boyfriend and I got really sucked into the movie. I thought it was a very interesting concept (however, I could never ever see this happen in real life), having five factions that live in a city, but not really together, and then there are the faction-less, who basically have nothing. I really, really enjoyed the movie and decided to look up some more information when I got home. I found out there is a book trilogy of which this film is based off and as I love reading books I decided to start reading the trilogy.
When I started reading the book I found some big differences in the character development in the movie in comparison with the book. The Dauntless hide-out is also completely different in the book and a lot of details are changed throughout the movie, which makes the movie go from one thing to another in a second. That was also the moment I realized that not everything in the movie was displayed in the good smoothness the books describe it. And I also only started to understand certain things in the movie after reading the books.
It is a really hard task to make a movie in which a lot of details make sense for the continuation for the other parts of the trilogy into a movie of just two hours.
