Divergent
6.5 out of 10
In the densely populated YA genre, Divergent stands apart from the crowd. Filled with genuinely interesting characters and impressive visuals, viewers will enjoy immersing themselves in Divergent's world and exploring the political machinations of the faction system that runs this particular dystopia. The film certainly has some issues, the pacing making a majority of the film feel like a "getting to know you exercise" but to the film's credit, it's never horribly boring. The film is at its best when walking us through the political world and fails horribly when it focuses on Tris' personal life. The obligatory YA romance is truly cringe inducing and feels trivial in the shadow of impending political upheaval. Regardless, I was wooed enough to commit to the rest of the franchise.
