Movie Review on Robert Schwentke's "INSURGENT: THE DIVERGENT SERIES"

"Insurgent: The Divergent Series" maintains the quality of "Divergent" and establishes an impressive identity of its own.


Insurgent is an impressive sequel to the Divergent series. It has action, romance, emotions, great plot, mind blowing special effects and powerful performances by the cast. What more could you want?  There is depth and complexity in this movie which can only be understood if you have watched Divergent or read Veronica Roth's trilogy. The action is heightened in this second installment and so is the emotions.


Shailene woodley is truly admirable. She perfectly portrayed the role of Tris. She makes the her character look real and feel real. She has improved a lot since the last film. Theo does an amazing job as Four. Miles was hilarious as he brings the comedy element in the film. Ansel played the role of weak and coward Caleb really well. So the acting in this movie is amazing and it lifts this movie higher.


I have heard many were saying that the book is much better than this film as the plot is bit changed and many new things are added. But I believe that the way they changed it makes this movie more interesting, and if they had been stuck to the original reason why Jeanine is hunting Divergents, as a film it would have been quite boring. So, change in this movie is only for good.


As a conclusion I personally liked this movie a lot. I have been waiting for this film since I have watched its prequel and its worth it. And after watching this movie, the divergent series became one of my favorite series ever. The 3D effects are quite good. Special effects are just mind blowing. The story is fast paced and thrilling. Some scenes are just shocking and breathtaking. The ending of this movie is to die for. Although the movie is good but some may find it boring as its theme is complex, and it could not connect with everyone.


I'll give this movie 7/10. This movie  gives a powerful message of forgiveness of others as well as yourself. This movie is definitely a must watch but only after watching its prequel. Hope you all will like this movie as much as I did. Can't wait for Allegiant part 1.
