It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

In a post-apocalyptic world divided into five factions, Beatrice must figure out what path to choose for her future. After the exams, she learns that she has qualities for every faction, so she must choose wisely. Together with her new instructor, Four, they must find and eradicate the source of a corruption which threatens the peace their ancestors hardly brought.It's a very interesting plot, in an atmospheric environment, full of action, suspense and thrill. Tris' evolution is presented in detail, from a simple student who is about to be kicked out, to one of the best, with a target on her forehead. It looks gorgeous, it's very well written, full of emotion and suspense, entertaining and very thrilling. It also has great characters, very well described, written and presented. It made me more and more curious about the fate of the two protagonists whilst not disappointing me any single time.As a minor downside, it didn't have the most conclusive finale, not even close, but it leaved a good opportunity for a sequel. I enjoyed this one from start to finish, thanks to its great actors, characters, plot and visuals. A superb movie!

(sorry for my bad English, I am Serbian) I gave this movie high score, because I was annoyed with low score and bad comparison with the Hunger Games trilogy, so although I don't think that this movie deserves score 9 when comparing to all kinds of movies especially classics, I think it deserves score 9 when comparing to similar movies ...ok, here is a brief comparison of the both movies which are the first in their trilogies. First of all, the Divergent has much more better plot, much more interesting story, the world is post apocalyptic - not only post- war like in Hunger Games, and these are first things that come to mind. Second, the chemistry between the characters is excellent in Divergent, and although great team of actors plays in the Hunger Games, their chemistry and excellent acting doesn't really have a good story to tell. Although the Divergent has pretty predictable love story (that is not so relevant to me, I find many mistakes in other places concerning some practical problems) and some other problems that annoy me like : why no one investigates murder attempt on Tris, and how could she be expelled from her fraction after the fight when she wasn't give up or surrender herself, after she had all those points which ranged her up? The actresses are both very very talented, and although I love Jennifer Lawrence, I must say that Shaileen Woodley is far more better (or maybe the character itself is more suggestible) in the Divergent, than Lawence is in Hunger Games. The camera is far better in the Divergent because in the Hunger Games 1, the camera is so nervous and moving that it's really annoying the eye of the viewer (when the movie is action, there is no need for this ''nervous''camera)... Although the Hunger Games has more critical implications on this our world of today (the critic of the reality shows, society differences and most of all, the horrible dictatorship and all of its wickedness) - in that matter both movies are not so comparable - since the Divergent is placed in the post apocalyptic world of tomorrow - which seems to be in some, more or less, justice and order. These are the reasons why am I so annoyed with comparing these two franchise. The other thing I must say is that The Divergent reminds me on the Twilight trilogy in many ways. For both of them I am very sorry that they are basically MADE FOR TEENAGERS, with lots of juvenile moments and commonplaces, and with illogical mistakes (the Divergent) and much more ''girly'' moments (the Twilight) but what can I say, the writers of the books did it that way so the movies probably couldn't go far from that. The Bottom line is: the Divergent is very good action movie, with interesting post appocalyptic world (some kind of mixture of the movies Gattaca and Brave New World book , and some moments from Equilibrium - by far more mature movies or better written novels) but which has appealing atmosphere, at least for me. You will certainly have much more fun watching the Divergent tha the HUnger Games!

I don't read books because I just don't have the patience for them so I watch the movies Lord of the Rings, Hunger Games, The Hobbit and so on. And I love these type of movies, so shoot me liking them Ill just keep watching them.

I am a huge Divergent fan, and thought it was just great! Although, spoiler alert, Uriah is not in it =( They did leave out some scenes, but the casting was great!, Theo James was perfect for the part of Four (aka Tobias Eaton,) looking almost exactly like what I imagined to him to be. Just an awesome adaptation!
