From a viewer who went to this simply to accompany his girlfriend...
Divergent is gripping
and intelligently brought to life on the big screen from the director
who brought us "Limitless" and "The Illusionist." Are we seeing
something of similar essence with the "Hunger Games" series? Yes.
However, my personal take was that the characters were more engaging and
the plot was as well in this film. Shailene is excellent at the helm,
and really brings forth a convincing portrayal of a heroine battling in a
world where chaos and tragedy envelope the characters. Her graceful
emergence from shy personality to dominance is done artfully and really
speaks to her ability as an actress. Theo James is also exceptional in
the co-pilot role and almost effortlessly seems to pull off the bad boy
with standards persona in a manner I haven't seen since Will Smith in
his prime. The plot is high octane and especially more gritty than I
first imagined. The emotion raw in intensity and empathic build. As a
guy who was just going to this film to act as arm candy and a shoulder
to lean on for my highly enthused girlfriend, I can write this piece
while honestly saying that my eyes were glued to the screen the entirety
of the film and was pleased to see this film do such an excellent job
at developing both the plot and characters involved in it. Highly
Recommend.
