More of a trailer than an actual movie

Rating: 2/10 (15 December 2014)

Neil Burger's Divergent is a bad film version of Veronica Roth's 2011 best-selling book of the same name set in a futuristic world in which there are factions that are based on somebody's virtue. It stars Shailene Woodley (who was brilliant in The Descendants (2011), but flopped in this movie) as Tris a girl who gets tested for some unknown reason and learns that she is "Divergent" and can't fit in, and ends up going to some training and also ends up falling in love with her instructor (played by Theo James in a very nauseating performance) whose name is hilariously the number Four and also meets another instructor named Eric (played by Jai Courtney whose performance reminds me of the way that Alfred Molina portrayed Johann Tetzel in Luther (2003). Then after that Tris finds out all of this information from her mother (played by Ashley Judd) and the culprit for the attempted Divergent destruction is a woman named Jeanine (played by Kate Winslet). There was a lot of other things that I didn't like about this film besides it's storyline but the acting, cinematography, directing, and especially the action sequences in which the action scenes were shot way too quickly, though i only liked two things in this movie which were the casting, and the stunt-work to the film.The one thing I don't get when it comes to watching it is when people like this film for no apparent reason at all but by just saying it's "great" though I had many reasons to criticize it, I do think that this movie is nothing compared to sci-fi classics like Inception (2010), 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), Planet of the Apes (1968), E.T. (1982), Minority Report (2002), or even Jurassic Park (1993) or The Matrix (1999). Unfortunately little did I know that this was going to be a regretful experiences that this I consider to be one of the year's worst films.
