That was an excellent one.

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

This was an OK sequel to the Divergent series, though it kind of suffered from the movie series version of "jumping the shark." Once again, Shailene Woodley's performance carries the film, as does an outstanding ensemble cast and a good series of action sequences. I liked the gas being released towards the end and the people being locked in. However, there wasn't too much in terms of story. I felt like they could have done better with that. The first two films did that better. Stick to the first two films for that department. The overall series is good though.** out of ****

I am a big fan of the Divergent trilogy. I have read all the books and watched all the movies and in my opinion they are absolutely amazing. Especially I admired the the third movie Allegiant. It is directed by Robert Schwentke and, like its two predecessors, Divergent and Insurgent, its stars Shailene Woodly in the title role as Tris and Theo James as Four. After the earth-shattering revelations of Insurgent, Tris must escape with Four and go beyond the wall enclosing Chicago. For the first time ever, they will leave the only city and family they have ever known. Once outside, old discoveries are quickly rendered meaningless with the revelation of shocking new truths. Tris and Four must quickly decide who they can trust as a ruthless battle ignites beyond the walls of Chicago which threatens all of humanity. In order to survive, Tris will be forced to make impossible choices about courage, allegiance, sacrifice and love. Woodly and James give superb performances. As you'd expect, the film is epic, fast-moving, heart-moving and visually spectacular with jaw- dropping and tear dropping stunt scenes. Definitely it is a thought- provoking movie. However it has its weaknesses. Without reading the book or seeing first two movies, it might have too far-fetching story. Also in some places it is a little bit confusing on whose side somebody like Peter (Miler Teller) or Matthew (Bill Skarsgard) are. Just a little bit confusing, finally of course it all comes out. That said, this is the best Divergent trilogy movie of all time. Far more entertaining and thrilling, its heart-dropping relationship between Tris and Four make the film even more enjoyable. If it is fantasy, awesomeness, action you're after and you are seeking for some mystery and confusions, this film is definitely for you.

If there was a case for young adult adaptation are all the same and blend together then Allegiant can be used as evidence, borrowing elements from The Hunger Games and Maze Runner series.After the events of Insurgent the faction system has broken down after the people have found out that Chicago was no more than an experiment. Tris (Shailene Woodley) wants to see the outside world and together with her boyfriend, Four (Theo Jones), brother Caleb (Ansel Elgort), friends Christina (Zoe Kravitz), Tori (Maggie Q) and Peter (Miles Teller - the term friend is being used very loosely) go over the wall and discover a civilisation of scientific advance people lead by David (Jeff Daniels) who explains how the world felt into chaos and why Tris is so special. But, David has his own motives.I had a soft spot for the Divergent series until now: the first two films were solid films for their target audience and had some fun trippy Inception style scenes in the mindscape. Yet the good will that the series has built has spent and Allegiant used ideas from Mockingjay and The Maze Runner sequels, that people secretly exist beyond the world and they are not to be trusted whilst the desert landscape is like the one in The Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials, just with much worst CGI.Allegiant even rips off the previous films in the series. The climax is similar to what happened in the first two films, the heroes have to break into the central governmental building to stop the villain's scheme and free either friends or family. Insurgent was able to get away with this because there was enough of a different because Tris was stuck in the dreamscape to open mystery box.Allegiant relies on the characters to be idiots for the plot to continue, especially Tris who should have been more sceptical of the mysterious people who have been watching Chicago, not less. She was both the chosen saviour who had enhanced instincts yet also be incredibly gullible.The relief in Allegiant is the world fell apart was humanity split between genetically enhanced people and regular people. Basically it was a cross between Gattaca, X-Men and the Animatrix short The Second Renaissance. Humanity split into factions because the genetically enhanced got corrupted, making some virtues greater at the expense of others, making them 'damaged'. Tris is told she's the cure for the 'damaged' and like the kids in the Maze Runner series being the cure for the zombie outbreak. Even for a sci-fi film this is a stretch and Allegiant does not mitigate the criticism the series has suffered that the faction system doesn't make any sense: if anything the revelation makes the concept harder to swallow.Allegiant shows that the Divergent film series has run its course. It has run out of ideas and the low Rotten Tomatoes score and box office returns has put paid to the idea that there would be a sequel: although there would be a sense of schadenfreude to see big- name and emerging actors forced to appear in a TV movie.
