Divergent

So I realise that I am really behind with the times with this post but I just want to clarify that I did watch this when it first came out but seeing as the first part of the 3rd movie has just come out.. I thought it seemed fit.

Set in a futuristic dystopia where society is divided into five factions that each represent a different virtue, teenagers have to decide if they want to stay in their faction or switch to another - for the rest of their lives. Tris Prior makes a choice that surprises everyone. Then Tris and her fellow faction-members have to live through a highly competitive initiation process to live out the choice they have made. They must undergo extreme physical and intense psychological tests, that transform them all. But Tris has a secret that she is Divergent, which means she doesn't fit into any one group. If anyone knew, it would mean a certain death. As she discovers a growing conflict that threatens to unravel her seemingly peaceful society, this secret might help her save the people she loves... or it might destroy her. 

I read the Divergent book back in 2013 and I really enjoyed it and I managed to read it in a space of 3 days because I was hooked!!

So I was very excited when I heard that they were making a movie and when I found out who was playing Tris, I wasn't sure how the movie would go with her being the main character. If you don't already know, the actress who plays Tris is Shailene Woodley. 

Previous to her playing Tris, she played a character called Amy in The Secret Life of An American Teenage where at 16 she gets pregnant and the show is about her raising her son with the help from her family and the baby daddy. 

So she play this character for 5 years, I wasn't sure if she would be able to hand the action scenes but she has proved me wrong and now I can't see anybody else playing her characters so huge shout out to Shailene for proving me wrong!! 

Back to the movie at hand, I really enjoyed it because it had romance, friendship, comedy, action, drama, a storyline but if you have read the books then you realise that they didn't include some of the storyline into the movie but they have managed a way around that without the story not making sense. 

But all in all, it is a great movie!! High Recommend 


Enjoy!! :D xxx
