Divergent (2014) Full Movie

Genre: Action, Adventure, Mystery, Sci-Fi

Country: USA

Surprisingly Divergent is more enjoyable to watch than I had been expecting, but I’m not totally sure I think the full underlying message about smart people being evil and trying to take over illegitimately is great, considering the modern world’s anti-intellectual bent, and especially since it’s wrapped up in a LOT of pseudo psychological bullshit. Still, bitch as I might about that, especially as a psych grad student, it’s a rather fun film otherwise, if nothing groundbreaking or mind-blowing, and different enough from other common movie.

Now, if you free download the movie then this isn’t a terrible movie. It’s technically competent and features good female characters (even if she does have to show both tits and arse on the cover picture). Alas, it is formulaic, using a formula which has been badly overdone (after the end of the world, we set up a rigid social structure which oppresses everyone! this was a bad idea! we couldn’t set this story in the real world because we couldn’t give it a neat ending!). This movie has two sequel Insurgent (2015) & The Divergent Series: Allegiant (2016)
