Me and my Sister, who is a fan of the Divergent Series, made our way into an advanced showing of Allegiant tonight at 7:00pm. I was filled with excitement to know another Divergent movie was coming out and I couldn't wait to continue the adventures of Tris and Four.
The movie blew my expectations away.
This is the best Divergent movie yet, it's as close to perfect as a Dystopia can get and it's right up there with The Giver. Fans will surely love it but critics will probably not enjoy it as much as they don't know much about the series. The movie has a 36 on Metacritic I think? But I wasn't bothered by the reviews.
Anyways, Tris, Four, Caleb, Christina and Peter make their way out of Chicago and beyond the wall where they are found by a bureau who wants to cure damaged people (AKA The People of Chicago) by using a serum that will wipe out all their memories. Unfortunately, Four and Tris are not into that plan so it's up to them and the rest of the gang to stop David from Blinding Evelyn into using the serum on the rest of Chicago.
I became a fan of Divergent when the first movie came out. Then I became more of a bigger fan when Insurgent came out. Allegiant hits all the right buttons to make a exciting and fun movie with a point about dividing races and people into groups. Allegiant uses clichés and makes them new, the predictability is there, but invisible, the story is unoriginal, but fresh. It breathes a whole new life into a film that has already been done before and it's one of it's greatest strengths.
Shaliene Woodley still continues to be a better actress then Jennifer Lawrence in The Hunger Games Movies. Again as I was talking about in my Insurgent Review, she is an actress who just want to make movies for the fun of it. Not to win any sort of award, just to act, please audiences and hopefully gain a fan base. She is successful on all levels. The characters are even better than before. I love Peter (Miles Teller) He is likable, a joker, a funny-man, a confused man, a man who is lied to, who is tricked, who is selfish, it's a completely three dimensional character. Speaking of which, all the characters I found to be completely three, if not four dimensional.
Allegiant is bigger than the last two films, having being set in two places, The Outside World where we have the bureau and Providence and Chicago. The designs of Providence and the Bureau are absolutely stunning, some of the sets even have some sort of symbolism. The visuals are great with Providence being the film's high point in special effects.
Last but not least, the movie is very, very intelligent. The film has a great message, it has relationships that are never one sided, it has the ability to be brave, it never stops there.
Allegiant right now is my favorite movie of 2016 and the definitive Spring Break Movie for Youths who want to see outstanding film- making. Director Robert Schwentke leaves us before the final film Ascendant, but he manages to make the story even better than it already was. Allegiant is a must see.
93/100 A-
