Divergent (2014)
1/10
Twilight goes to Hogwarts
3 July 2014
Warning: Spoilers
This movie is a muddled mish-mash of clichés from recent cinema. There are some promising ideas in there, but while the director was clearly aiming to wind up with a hauntingly ambiguous film, what he ended up with was a confusing mess. Lead actor Shalene Woodsley does a fair job but with no central theme it seems as though he doesn't have much to work with. Furthermore, the movie is largely devoid of a coherent premise (although, in fairness, there are some creepy moments amid the drudgery).

*MILD SPOILERS*

It's rubbish.

*END SPOILERS*

Avoid this one. For an excellent psychological, ambiguous dystopian tale, check out the Korean film Snowpiercer (2013).
