You'll Be Wanting More and More!

Rating: 7/10 (21 March 2014)

Beatrice (Tris) always wanted to be a Dauntless, one of five classes in the city. But before she was that, she was Divergent. A Non-Conformist. Now hiding the fact that she is, she must become one of the Dauntless.
Divergent was very surprising for me. I have never read the books but going into this film without reading them I didn't know if I would like it. But I was wrong. This movie was Very Good!
I love the character of Beatrice, I think she is a great role model for the youth of today which is the main problem with some of these teen flicks today which have very thin leading roles. What surprised me also, is that I recognized the actress who played her. She was the daughter from The Descendants. A very big step up from such a small film.
There is also some social commentary in this film. It talks about the effects of living in a world where people have to be the same or else they are thrown onto the streets. Very clever for a teen film.
It is very worthy of the IMAX treatment, its a big and bold film that I think is going to be the next best thing in a long time. I don't care if there are missing stuff from the book, this movie was super good!
Divergent is a must see for Teens, Parents, and Adults who are wanting to watch some great entertainment.
