INSURGENT
(SPOILER ALERT)
Movie goers and fans of the first film DIVERGENT will find
Insurgent entertaining and action packed.
Theo James did not disappoint with his role as Tobias “Four” Eaton and
Shailene Woodley once again stole our hearts with her heroic role as Tris
Prior.
BUT, fans of the Divergent Series written by Veronica Roth,
may not be as impressed. Unlike with
Divergent, I feel that Insurgent was thrown too far in left field, as though
the writers took Veronica Roths’ story and ran in a completely different
direction. Very little lined up with the
book, and crucial parts that were in the book, were left out (For example Tris’
alliance with Marcus, or Caleb taking Tris to her execution). It is important that movie goers also know
the struggle between Tris and Tobias as it is in the book, in order to feel the
full impact of their reconcile in Allegiant.
There was NOTHING in relation to the wall building between them in the
movie. This will be the main
disappointment among fans of the book.
I do appreciate some of the changes made, for example the
BOX! Why didn’t Veronica Roth think of
that? But, once again, the Simulation
machine that Tris was hooked to, is not of that world and too Matrix- like for
this particular setting.
Overall, it was just another Hollywood film, filled with
action and good actors.
