Insurgent, the second installment of the Divergent Trilogy, was released in theaters Friday March 20. The movie, starring Shailene Woodley and Kate Winslet, made $21 million on opening day, passing the Cinderella movie by a long run.
As you may recall, the first movie of the Trilogy Divergent ended with Tris and Four (Theo James) escaping the dauntless facility and the evil leader Jeanine, played by Kate Winslet. The pair, along with Tris’s brother Caleb and Four’s father and fr-enemy Peter, took refuge in Amity (The Hippy Faction). They remained there until the faction was raided by Jeanine’s minions, forcing them to once again escape and end up in the faction-less headquarters. Four was reunited with his mother who abandoned him as a child. She offers him an alliance with intentions to bring down Jeanine. With much contempt, he agrees and brings the remaining dauntless and faction-less together.
Overall, Insurgent is definitely worth watching. It had many action-packed scenes yet several emotional scenes to balance it out. In the book, the relationship between Four and Tris is much more emphasised than in the film. Their “love” scene was very quick and subtle, making the film PG-13. Also, the characters’ development throughout the movie is just like the book. I don’t’ think Director Robert Schwentke could have chosen a better cast.
