![]() ![]() ![]() So the mystery of why the government wants to kill all Divergents must be unraveled and this leads to the majority of the story. Even more so is the romantic involvement with the mysterious Four (or 4) played by Theo James (which I believe over acted his part entirely too much). Friendships are made, lost, and so on as expected. The pacing of this movie moves along nicely as we plod through Tris trying to fit in as a part of the Dauntless clan. This is not a bad thing, since this allows the cinematographer to reveal a very wonderfully crafted view of this world. ![]() In a nutshell, the world painted is similar to that of Equilibrium but with much less action. I'll leave all of that for you to watch unfold in the various physical and psychological training exercises that are portrayed on screen. When our main character, Tris (played very well by Shailene Woodley)finds out she is Divergent she must hide this secret and discover the reasons why it is such a secret and why society fears Divergents. But of course, the question here is what if you don't fit into the nicely packaged definition of a single class, then you must be Divergent, or in this movie, a danger to the perfect society. The central plot here is that growing up in this walled in world, everyone must fit into one of five classes. Set in a near-future Chicago, what we see is another take on the dystopian society. Settling in to this film, I expected to see Hunger Games again. ![]()
