This is abysmal. The adaptation fundamentally misunderstands the source material, has terrible FX and an even worse Miles Teller performance. Worst of all, the film doesn't know how or when to use Woodley, who has always been the series' greatest asset

| Original Score: 1/5 | Sep 5, 2023

Builds to a finale that feels less like the culmination of three films than a last-minute justification for another sequel in an overlong, unwanted franchise.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Apr 18, 2022

The third installment of The Divergent Series shows a shiny new world that has become all too familiar to us and therefore delivers nothing new...

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Oct 9, 2021

You can now add The Divergent Series to the number of film franchises that have suffered from studio greed and have failed audiences by unnecessarily splitting the last part of the story into two films.

| Aug 27, 2021

Director Robert Schwentke treats this film as a long set up to a finale but none of the new material makes much of an impact.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 3, 2021

Once the gang of survivors cross the desert, they essentially enter into another franchise altogether.

| Original Score: 2/10 | Dec 4, 2020

Gloomy, underwhelming and so dedicated to its mob mentality scenes that you start to feel like maybe you've stumbled into a Trump rally.

| Original Score: 1.5/4.0 | Sep 6, 2020

This should be called The Divergent Series: Redundant.

| Original Score: C | Jul 13, 2020

The Divergent Series: Allegiant has interesting themes and ideas, but absolutely zero clue how to execute them with any depth or insight.

| Original Score: D+ | Jul 3, 2020

Allegiant is a cynical agglomeration of YA and dystopia tropes thrown together with little regard for either sound storytelling or effective world building, which wouldn't be bad if it weren't so boring.

| Jan 13, 2020

The few action scenes involving James and some stimulating visuals earn Allegiant a couple of points on the 10 scale but it has next to nothing else going for it... And there's still a fourth installment on the way.

| Original Score: 3.1/10 | Nov 13, 2019

Fans of the series seemed to be into it, but we found some scenes did not follow or flow.

| Oct 16, 2019

The series has seen a steady decline from the surprisingly palatable opener, Divergent, with its political metaphors so smoothly handled. It became clunkier with subsequent chapters...

| Aug 15, 2019

The Divergent series chugs along, its mediocrity transcended, as always, by Woodley and James' commitment.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 6, 2019

Perhaps the biggest head-scratcher of all is how a movie can fail so epically with such an amazing cast of seasoned vets and young stars populating the screen at any given moment.

| Original Score: 2.5/10 | Feb 21, 2019

The Divergent series has always labored in the shadow of 'The Hunger Games,' among others, but it seems that those in charge have simply given up on making any real effort to escape it.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 20, 2019

Not even Woodley, an actor of great talent who has the capacity of doing much better, can save the film from being the plodding mess it is.

| Feb 14, 2019

More of the same for this series, with a few promising spots stuck in a film that is mostly spinning its wheels.

| Original Score: C | Jan 15, 2019

Hence, The Divergent Series: Allegiant is an over-stuffed mechanical continuation of a familiar film franchise trying desperately to fulfil its colorful action-packed whimsy left over by its pumped-up predecessors.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Nov 9, 2018

There are some fun science elements if you're a fan of the series...but it's so set up.

| Original Score: 2.4/5 | Oct 16, 2018
