Summary:
The story is set in a world where people are allocated to 5 different factions where they belong to maintain peace. After going through a test to find out which faction she belongs to, Beatrice Prior finds out she fits into none and such people are known as Divergents. Divergents were known to be hunted down by society as a threat to the faction system and so Beatrice has to find a faction where she would belong to and live by hiding her true identity.
The show is based on the best-selling book series by author Veronica Roth.
Just over 3 days, I went to watch the movie in cinema twice and it's exactly the kind of story I love: romance, slight comedy and fantasy. The plot has a really unique tone to it like other trilogies that have made it big so far such as The Hunger Games. Despite both trilogies by the same company (Summit Entertainment), Divergent is nothing like The Hunger Games as it is as good as The Hunger Games in its own way. And isn't Theo James like super hot with a sexy back of tattoos? The second time I was in the cinema watching, these bunch of guys sitting in front kept commenting with the hope of him taking off his shirt LOL. Another thing about Divergent that I love is that it is not focusing too much on romance but it keeps to the story's main plot. It was able to hold attention for the full 2 hours and 20 minutes with more and more actions and some parts that will leave the audience curious on what's going to happen next. A really good movie to catch!
