Better than it sounds

Rating: 7/10 (2 January 2017)

This teens-fighting-teens coming of age Sci Fi is better than it sounds.
It's set in a society where people are divided into factions depending on their abilities. One girl, Tris, realises she doesn't really fit into any of the factions, and with the help of a man called Four sets out to challenge those who would kill anyone who threatens the world order.
It could be cheesy, but it's handled really well. Tris and her companions are set a series of physical and mental challenges, which add variety and tension to the plot. There is a strong cast, including Kate Winslet as the cold and calculating Jeanine, Ashley Judd as a caring mother, and various others, not to mention the pretty couple of Shailene Woodley and Theo James as Tris and Four.
It's all set in a suitably post-Apocalyptic world, coloured by the different-hued garbs of the factions. A good movie.
