The sequel to Divergent picks up where its predecessor
left off. The film follows Tris(Shailene
Woodley) and Four(Theo James) who are known as Divergents in a world that has
separated all people into factions. If
you haven’t seen “Divergent,” this film will make no sense to you.
Alliances are tested as are the wills of the characters
in “Insurgent.” Tris is having
difficulty dealing with the guilt of the people she lost. Four is right there by Tris’ side, as he was
in the first film. Miles Teller reprises
his role brilliantly as Peter, a character that keeps you guessing as to which
side he is on.
Kate Winslet is still the baddie for this film as she
plays Jeanine, the person keeping order and hunting down the Divergent
people. In this installment, you find
that Jeanine is not just interested in the Divergent folk to eradicate them,
but for another reason altogether.
The sweeping landscape scenes look incredible in “Insurgent.” The green of the forest and the shots of the city ruins gives this film a distinct and beautiful look. There’s also a ton of violence and characters that were killed in ways I did not expect.
“Insurgent” receives three out of five pile drivers. I don’t think it was quite as good as the “Divergent,”
but the film ends in a way to make you look forward to the next.
