Long and tedious

Rating: 4/10 (21 May 2019)

This came out around the Hunger Games series and it really shows. It tries to cash in on the YA craze without understanding how it works. The characters are blank slates with no development and the story's long and tedious. The movie focuses on a teenager named Beatrice "Tris" Prior who discovers she's a "divergent" and has to hide it from everyone or else she'll be killed. She decides to join another faction called the Dauntless where she struggles to fit in at first but finally makes the cut in the end.
Along the way she falls in love with one of the instructors named Tobias "Four" Eaton(Theo James). At this point it's every YA cliche you know: Her secret's discovered forcing her to go on the run, she supposedly learns more about herself on the journey and all that stuff.
So yeah it's nothing new, we've seen this before in better movies such as the Hunger Games and Battle Royale. Skip this movie it's not good.
