After the events from the first movie, we follow Tris as she is left scarred from the past events, having more and more nightmares. Once a new hidden box is found by Jeanine, which allegedly contains a message from the ancestors but only a Divergent can open it, a new confrontation is about to emerge. Together with some new allies, Tris and Four must fight once again in an attempt to stop Jeanine.It's a good continuation of the events from the first instalment which presents the two protagonists as they face an apparently new threat from a recent enemy. We're about to see once again plenty of action, emotion and drama, but also unexpected changes and turnovers, all blended in superb CGI. A significant difference from its predecessor is the fact that it tends to focus much more on the emotional part. It insists to present in detail parts of the story which don't involve much action, thus making the first half a bit slow and sometimes dull. Think of it as a somewhat different approach regarding the main plot, which it's up to you to judge if it's for better or worse. From my point of view, it is a bit of a let-down.I was once again impressed by the CGI and the simulations which were top notch in terms of story and implementation, which, with a couple of unexpected characters, managed to introduce something new, something pleasant for the viewer. Unfortunately, not the same can be said about the rest of the movie, which had an overall tendency of lowering the impact which the first movie had. It isn't as impressive as the other one, it isn't as suspenseful and as emotional. You still get to care for the main characters, but this is mostly due to the first instalment. It does little to improve their contribution, and together with the drop in action, you get a noticeable change in the end.I'm not saying that it's a bad movie. No sir. It's just that I had the same expectations from the sequel as I had from its predecessor and this is mostly why I got a bit disappointed. I enjoyed it, I like its story and especially its finale, which once again left room for a sequel, while the special effects are great. I'm just upset that it could have been a better movie and it should have been.

Beatrice Prior must confront her inner demons and continue her fight against a powerful alliance which threatens to tear her society apart with the help from others on her side. Once again Shailene Woodley, Theo James and Kate Winslet steal the show but also some new faces come in place like Naomie Watts. The scenes inside the frame work were excellent directed and the overall action once again was great. Miles Teller and Jai Courtney's characters do stay the same tho and that was a bit of a problem. As for the plot even tho good as a whole i expected the movie to be a bit faster at certain points. 'Insurgent' is a good and watchable sequel to a Series that is good as it is (7.5/10)

I went and saw this movie with my mom because I heard it was a sci-fi action movie. Within 15 minutes in, I was horribly bored. 10 minutes later, I left the theater and called my dad to come and pick me up. He didn't want to so I was screwed. My stupid ass didn't think to call a cab so I spent the entire runtime of this movie waiting in the Christing lobby reading the same Cineplex magazine over and over again. Since I had bought the tickets on a gift card, I couldn't get my money back so that was $25 down the f***ing toilet. It was the worst experience I have EVER had in a movie theater and the only movie I've ever walked out of.
