Definitely recommended, although looks like Hunger Games

Rating: 9/10 (19 August 2014)

When first watching Divergent's trailer and reading it's info, I was mildly enthusiastic and expected the movie to be a lot like the Hunger Games. After all, both movies (or books for that matter) set place in a post-war world and depict a society divided into groups in order to keep peace. However, even though the story lines have their similarities, Divergent evolves in a different way. It may be a story of fiction, but Divergent gives us viewers a way to look at society's problems and ask ourselves whether we can end up divided into factions in the future as well. One major thing I loved about the movie was the acting work; I think all actors did a wonderful job in defining the characteristics of their persona. The chemistry between Tris and Four was heartfelt. I am looking forward to seeing Insurgent and Allegiant.
