Allegiant (2016)
Where's All the Negativity
I really don't see how a fan of the Divergent series in general doesn't like this. As a stand alone no I wouldn't like this on its own at least the first half because of redundancy. It really almost lost me at ten minutes in. I don't think 10=15 minutes in was necessary if you knew the series and premise or not. But here's the thing it was Divergen at it's best as a movie as a whole and really modern day Sci-Fi as a whole. It's hard to awe or shock audience in the realm of Sci-Fi with the technology and evolution of Sci-Fi in general. I like the story and I want to see where it is going. I don't think that as fan of Divergent series you will get short=change as Sci-Fi buffs in general as stand alone yeah but if you know the series consider what is. I for one am really looking forward to the next installment of the Divergent series and who knows the way technology is evolving maybe just maybe we as a human race can appreciate this series underlying theme. Come on Sci-Fi fans how can you really not like this movie.
Divergent (2014)
Social Fiction
Spoiler alert! This series is absolutely amazing. I'm an avid fan of science fiction all the way back to Metropolis to Buck Rogers to Star Trek to Barbarella to Star Wars to Avatar. What makes this series so cool is the social fiction more than the science fiction. Not to downplay cool science fiction threads and special effects along with the stunts but the future's social structure in this premiere of the series is just absolutely brilliant. Many science fiction stories take you on a journey,adventure,exploration beyond our world but I always like social fiction based upon our existing world and what could be. The thing about movies is being taken away to that larger than life essence for a while, Divergent is no exception; except that maybe it does it more exceptional than most movies do.
