Divergent from the Rest

Rating: 9/10 (27 June 2016)

No book-to-film movie is ever perfectly aligned with the book. There will always be some missing dialogue, minor characters, unimportant scenes, etc. that were not in the book. I feel as if many readers who fell in love with Veronica Roth's novel overreacted on the imperfections in this movie. Ultimately, I believe the book and film were very closely aligned. The music plays a major part in creating the same emotions any reader would experience reading Roth's novel. The graphical design of the opening and ending credits bring the futuristic feel the book insisted. The biggest issue in the movie is predictability, but we must remember the predictability mainly comes from the story line of the book.
