Here me out, this almost ruined the entire series for me. I started off by reading the books, and loved them. Veronica Roth is a brilliant writer, and continues to bring amazing books to the world. This movie doesn't compare to Roth's writing skills. While the actors are amazing, and play the characters great, they don't reflect the characters looks, looking at least 10 years older than the actual characters.

The movie was a bit predictable, but it was still entertaining.

Необычный и интересный сюжет прекрасно передает атмосферу будущего, отличная актерская игра и музыка.

For better or for worse it's another 2010's Dystopian Young Adult Sci Fi series. It makes perfect sense and nothing is broken. In fact it's half decent all around besides the acting which is just ok. Beatrice is just your standard chosen one to lead the uprising again and she has really nothing to set her apart and the acting is just ok. She's kind of boring, doesn't have much chemistry with anyone and besides the one scene she cried doesn't have much emotion at all. The supporting cast is just generic and forgettable. The love interest is the same way too and comes so late too. Winslet as the villian isn't bad though but still just your stereotypical bad person seeking to control everything for the greater good. Second biggest problem is the world this builds does nothing at all to set itself apart from all the countless other dystopian future Sci-Fi flicks and not just of this subgenre. A big problem of that is because the direction is pretty basic. It has none of that flare or uniqueness of something like Mad Max, Escape from New York, or The Hunger Games. If you told me certain scenes of the destroyed cities came from another Sci-Fi flick I'd believe you. There that generic. The Divergent characterisitics also if you think about it don't make a whole heck of a lot of sense. The test tells you what your destined to be but you could still go against it. So doesn't that inherently make anyone divergent who chooses? This is very close at times to being good though for me. It just needed either better direction, better acting, or more interesting characters. It just has this constant feeling of I've seen this before and done better. If your a die hard fan of any actors in this, the source material, or these types of flicks you'd probably like this. But for most people I think it's better served to watch The Hunger Games and better dystopian Sci-Fi flicks.

This movie gives me so much preteen nostalgia, since I first saw it at 13 years old. It made an impression on me then, and it still does at 25. It has everything: a romantic love story, action, thrill, and a wonderful sci-fi plot.

Divergent had the potential to explore its original concept more deeply, but unfortunately, the film’s direction prioritized pleasing young readers who enjoyed the novels and general fans of teen fiction. The film’s noticeable pop music soundtrack overshadowed its ability to delve into the world it aims to present. Furthermore, the acting at times felt inconsistent. Grading: C

I personally loved this mo ie better than the others. This movie has more better parts and just a better storyline in general. One of my favorite movies. If you love combat and romance in one mo ie this would be it.

I found the film a great watch but as a fan of the books growing up, it definitely missed some key elements. I'd recommend reading the novels first before diving into the trilogy of films.

Quite possibly the shittest movie I've watched. I’ll never get those two hours back. I wish i had mowed the lawns or something

Thought it wasn't bad when I viewed it the first time years ago, but watching it again it seems so hollow and cliche

One of the best shows EVER! would recomend watching in the middle of the night. (chef's kiss)

Visually stunning but narratively indistinguishable from the YA entries that came before it, Divergent suffers from lackluster direction from Neil Burger and an uninspired script from Evan Daugherty and Vanessa Taylor.

As a standlone film, this is my "I wish I was fearless film". I love it. The sequels are not great but the ending allows you to imagine your own narrative.

It's a decent movie. The plot and characters are okay but towards the end the plot becomes quite bad. Nothing special but still worth a watch.

It doesn't in any way do the book justice. Read the book, so much better, all of them! I liked Shailene Woodley in the Fault in our Stars but don't like her in this. I found the pacing of the movie boring and didn't feel as much tension in each scene as I should have, because I couldn't put the book down. It looked great but lacked any soul. I don't know why so many movies now lack that. They lack real passion and real chemistry. If only there could be star like the 90s. I realize I'm a little older than the target market for this movie, but still. I've watched kids movies and been entertained. This one I feel asleep.

My comfort movie :).

Did everything feel like a copy from other YA movies/books? Yes. But I did enjoy their commitment and the choices they made surrounding death.

Recently just watched this movie again and forgot how good of a movie it was. Amazing cast and a fantastic first movie of a series. Definitely one of the better movies out there.

Just couldn't get into this.

Divergent is one of those movies you watch because you haven't yet. I can see the potential for a great plot but the execution could be better. Casting carried the film but did not distract from the mediocre acting. Overall after watching Divergent we are hoping the next film Insurgent enhances the trilogy's storyline.
