The Divergent Movie Experience: A Review

I recently had the opportunity to see the movie adaptation of Veronica Roth's popular novel "Divergent" and I must say, it was an experience like no other. The movie did justice to the book, and I found myself fully immersed in the world of Panem. From the moment the credits rolled, I felt like I was still a part of the story, eager to know what would happen next.

The cast, led by Shailene Woodley as Tris Prior, delivered outstanding performances that brought the characters to life. The chemistry between Tris and her fellow Divergents, particularly Caleb (Ansel Elgort), was palpable, and their interactions felt authentic and heartfelt. I also appreciated how well the actors portrayed the complexity of the characters, making it easy for viewers to connect with them on an emotional level.

One scene that stood out to me was the kidnapping scene where Tris is almost thrown over a chasm. The way the actors reacted, combined with the cinematography, made it feel like I was right there with them. The emotional weight of the moment was crushing, and I felt my heart sink as I watched Tris plead for her life.

The movie also did an excellent job of showcasing the factions' unique qualities and strengths. From the Erudite's intellectual pursuits to the Dauntless's bravery, each faction was represented in a way that felt true to the book. The tension between the factions added an extra layer of complexity to the story, making it even more engaging.

I did feel a pang of sadness when Tris's mom died. It was a moment that I wished would have been longer, as I wanted to see more of her character. However, the movie still managed to convey the depth of Tris's emotional pain and her desire for connection with her mother.

The monologue at the end, where Tris realizes she is Factionless, was particularly well-done. The way it showcased the vulnerability and uncertainty of being without a faction felt raw and honest, and I appreciated how it tied together the themes of identity and belonging that ran throughout the book.

One aspect of the movie that didn't quite live up to my expectations was the portrayal of certain characters, such as Caleb and Will (Beast). While I understood their importance in the story, I wished for more screen time with them. However, this is a minor complaint, as the movie still managed to deliver on its promises.

The final act of the movie did feel a bit rushed, but overall, I was impressed by how well the filmmakers adapted the book into a cohesive and engaging film. The score, which perfectly captured the mood and tone of each scene, added an extra layer of depth to the story.

I must say that I was not alone in my enthusiasm for the movie. As I watched it with other fans, we were all united in our excitement and affection for the film. The energy in the theater was electric, with many viewers cheering and applauding at key moments. One fan even cried during a scene, and I can attest to that feeling of emotional connection.

In conclusion, I highly recommend "Divergent" as a must-see movie experience. With its talented cast, engaging storyline, and memorable characters, it's a film that will leave you eager for more. The success of this movie is no surprise, given the dedicated fan base that has grown around Veronica Roth's book series.

As I left the theater, I couldn't help but wonder about what's next for the "Divergent" franchise. Will we see an adaptation of Insurgent? The possibility is certainly intriguing, and I look forward to seeing how it will be executed. Until then, I'll continue to follow the story with great interest.

In other news, there are rumors circulating about a potential City of Bones movie adaptation. While production has been delayed, I remain hopeful that this project will eventually come to fruition. As for Vampire Academy, I haven't seen the movie yet, but I'm eager to dive into the world of Rose Hathaway and her immortal friends.

If you're as obsessed with The Maze Runner series as I am, please let me know when the trailer drops so I can watch it alongside you!

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhello everyone so today I'm here to review diverent the Moon movie crazy it's been I feel like the weight of it has been so long and I've anticipated it so much I'm just so so excited to finally talk about it I have to say this was a phenomenal book to me adaptation I went into it not I don't know sometimes you know it's book the movie adaptations there's been some really really good ones like catching fire and there's been some really really bad ones like Beautiful Creatures so you know your mind can only think so much about going into one cuz you're like is it going to be good is it it going to be bad is if it's bad people are going to hate the book because the movie sucks so you're like oh and honestly I have not really cared a lot about a lot of book to me adapations except for Divergent I was like please please Hollywood please get this one right I don't care if you get any of them wrong I want Divergent to be right and it was and I am so thrilled to say that I loved it a lot like loved it was it Catching Fire good no but Catching Fires at the top of my list for book mations and diers is right below it so it's still phenomenal so yeah let's talk about it I'm a I'm a big book fan I'm a big movie fan you guys know that but sometimes I don't really do a lot of research when it comes to book M adaptations because I want to be open to it I don't want to like really intensively I don't want to really intense look at like the actor's previously roles if they're good or they're bad I don't watch a lot of Clips I don't read a lot of news of it because I just want to kind of go into it with an open mind I also really don't try to read the book very very um in advance because then I know I'll go into the movie and be very super nitpicky I'll be like that wasn't in the book that wasn't in the book I just kind of like to be open because yes no matter what there will be changes from the book you if you have a book that's literally being turned into movie page for page that's going to be like a freaking long movie so yeah I was happy then I kind of went into an open that I didn't know very much and it left me very satisfied for a rating before I get on to like spoiler stuff I would give it a five out of five honestly yeah I will give it that and wasn't as good as catching fire but it was right below it it was still awesomely amazing book to M ad book to movie adaptation amazing now here's the part where if you haven't seen a movie you probably shouldn't watch any further cuz I don't want to spoil the movie for you and if you guys haven't read the book either I guess you shouldn't watch it either cuz I don't want to spoil the book for you but let's talk about it so the beginning I'm very glad they went with Trish doing a monologue um because if you know Divergent any dystopian book there's so much World building that has to be going on if you put your yourself in a contemporary you're just like hey I'm from so and so and I live in so and so and yeah with the stopan you're like I'm in this type of world we got this stuff going on these groups are separated but why are they separated all this kind of stuff so I'm glad they did that monologue because it's very hard for someone that has not read the book to go see a movie and they're like what do these factions mean why do they exist why is there like offence so I'm glad they did that M to kind of you know tie everything together to introduce the viewers of how the world of Divergent in Chicago is or you know what I mean how the world of CH the world of Chicago is and I got to say I loved um the factions how they represented the colors how they had the Grays and how they had the amenity colors is I said right in the urite colors and the kendor colors and The Dauntless colors gosh I got to say I was first I first got really excited watching again when that dauntless train pulled up and everybody started um like jumping out the soundtrack of this movie was phenomenal there have been some soundtracks that have sucked looking at you City of Bones your soundtrack horrible but Divergent amazing they had not so so many like kind of not pop singers but well-known singers they just had scores so they had that like all this exciting stuff for dauntless stuff and I love that because it made my heart beat faster and I was watching The Dauntless jump out I'm like yeah there's my people and it was just really cool how The Dauntless just just ran everywhere so um and then we I forget exactly only seen this once I will go see it again so I can get a little more in depth but I have a bad memory and I'm always foggy on details so don't be like you forgot this um what happened after that they um you know Janine went up there talked blah Janine and they took their um their what is it called their not their aptitude test just their testing and Trish was um it didn't have all the test in it but I think it showed an important part of like um I wish it kind of would explain what the testing is like everyone knows like it would help you decide but you know um I think in the book that Tori explains it a little bit better like you know if you grab the knife you're kind of dauntless if you like grab the like all that kind of stuff so like it it will specifically tell you that's a dauntless trait that is a kandoor trait and all that stuff so it was kind of foggy but I loved watching that I thought it was a very very cool um testing scenario if I'm saying that wrong that's not what it's called I for I apologize but I love that and I really love the scene where she had to pick the choosing ceremony where she had um I thought it was really cool how when she cut her hand and she almost let the blood go into abnegation she was like this is right and then she sifted her hand right over to dauntless and let the blood in the coold and it was just awesome I love that and then when she ran with dauntless and climbing up that stuff so awesome like the daunt was like awesome loved it loved it so much and I jumped off the train and then Christina was introduced and I loved Christina I thought she was a great Christina I could highly see that and she's the first one to jump off the roof into the net and that scene was done beautifully and then she means four and my heart just melted I went to see this with a friend who um has never really heard of divergent or read the books and all that stuff she's like oh wow and I looked at her I said no four is mine I said everybody on to knows that everyone's got their Pacific boyfriend and four is mine no one else can have him and she's like oh okay and I'm like yeah four is mine and I thought four did good the only quip I have of four is I know Theo James is British so there was a couple lines where his British accent definitely slipped out like I think one time he was saying congratulations or I can't do a British accent but I was like yep I can tell you British but other than that Theo James ey candy for love him loved him and I thought Shany Woodley did great as Tris I could see her and I knew she was a good actor especially with The Descendant movie and secret life of a American Teenager not so good of a show but she was really good as Trish I could really see her and then the initiation G brutal brutal brutal I'm glad it wasn't as brutal as the book because the books are brutal and I guess reading the books I was always like I'm dauntless for sure and then after seeing it like seeing like physically like with my eyeballs and see all the fights and stuff they went through I was like I don't know if I could be D I was like I don't know if I could do that crap like getting beat up when Tris was in the ring with Molly I was like oh gosh this is not going to be good and then freaking Peter it's I thought Peter did great I hated him the minute I saw him I was like you you little jerk but I know we need you later but you little freaking jerk um sorry if I'm skipping around I'm trying to go in chronological order but that is hard what happened after the initiation thing I don't know you see um her going to her fear landscape and we see that and how she can just get out of them really really easily cuz she's Divergent and that was very cool to see you know finally and um I think my favorite part of the whole movie was the zip lining scene I loved it my friend was like what is she doing this is weird I'm like this is awesome just this is awesome the way it was just it was shot beautifully the music was beautiful I was feeling that surge of adrenaline I was like oh this is the best ever I loved it like when she almost at the wall G and then the whole um capture the flag thing awesome like I loved how that was PL the ferris wheel I wish there was a little bit more but that's okay because we get I love how it wasn't all about trist and for in the movie like they have certain moments but it took them a while to get to where they are and I like that because sometimes especially with movies they kind of just throw them together with them the first 30 minutes and there you go I like you you like me we were together it took him a while to build up like it did in the book and I really liked seeing that and um I didn't feel like it was overridden with love and I like that about Divergent because I don't get me wrong I love contemporaries but when I read adventures and stuff like that I want more Adventure than romance but I still want romance but I want a little bit more Adventure so I like that in the book and brought her into his fear landscape only it was different because he in the movie he was trying to tell her like you know a i Divergent wouldn't do this a dauntless would do this in the book He's just you know they're just getting through it together and in the movie I like that there are certain things in the movie that were changed from the book clearly and it didn't upset me too much I know a lot of people are very nitpicky about things but there were some scenes that I was kind of like I don't I don't know but there weren too too many scenes where I was like that wasn't in the book um one scene I would have liked to scene is when Edward got stabbed in the eye but I understand it was a little bit too violent and I can get that but I wish I would have seen a little bit more of Edward but you know I wish I would have seen a little bit more of Christina and will because um or just actually Trish and will being good friends because you know when she EV she eventually has to kill will I don't know if a lot of people realize that they're really good friends that was a really hard choice for her to make I could see that in the film but I don't know if it was shown as much as it was in the books like you know in the books that was very very hard for her to do and it was it's brutal and in the movie we didn't really see much of Gro will we saw like maybe an alluding to it but we didn't you know put maybe some people put two a two together and you know as will trist and will we didn't see them you know as really really good friends um the scene where she gets kidnapped and then almost thrown over the chasm with Al and I was oh that was heartbreaking especially when she yelled at him and then he committed suicide I thought that was done beautifully it wasn't like you know not beautifully like I was like Yay but I was like well that's how I felt in the book um and then you know we have Caleb and she goes and visit him and you see Caleb and all you guys that have read all the diverg books are like you jerk I hate you I G go jump off a cliff Caleb literally yeah um her her parents I thought Ashley Joe was a great mom I love that um I'm not emotional a lot when it comes to movies and books um I think a lot of people know that like sometimes I'm like why I should be crying I'm not crying I think it's just because I'm just so into the movie but I tell you what I sobbed when tris's mom died I was like oh my gosh because I wish we got to see a little bit more of her in the books her dad died and just the whole her rescuing for and you know that was um I really wish I don't know if the book she said like look at me for but um I really I thought in the book she was like look at me Tobias because no one ever calls him Tobias but you know Trish and so I wish I did she call that in the book I don't remember but I would like to see that in the movie and that was good and um I did love the part where she threw that knife in Janine's hand like bam I was like yeah yeah step on away Janine cuz you evil and that whole thing and how it ended how they were just kind of going away I thought the monologue at the end was great where she was like we don't know where we're going and all that stuff we're kind of like factionless right now and it was just it was all told beautifully like it was 2 hours and almost 30 minutes I believe but it didn't feel like that like there was no point in time in the we I was like what time is this crap going to end I thought it was told great I think they sticked very well to the storyline there were some things I was like where's Ziah where is he at but I think they're going to introduce him an insurgent and I will say I think this is going to do really good at the Box office because when I went to see um when I went to see it I could tell there were many of Divergent readers in the crowd like people were clapping at certain scenes and I felt like I was in Harry Potter all over again because every time I went to go see Harry Potter movie they were just like yeah and I was like yeah and that hasn't happened lately for my book to movie adaptations and I don't want to be the only one going yeah that was great but this one very very active crowd they were cheering they were awesome and even afterwards I think um I heard these girls behind um me a while and they were had they had rails in front of them they were like let's jump over these rails because they were're dauntless and I'm like that's awesome so I just loved every bit of this movie I thought it was a phenomenal movie and I highly think that they will do Insurgent I think so now forgive me I don't know if they're doing a second City of Bones movie I think production started and then it got delayed so I don't know what's going on with that do you guys know because that really was was okay but and I also haven't seen Vampire Academy yet so I don't know how that one's going but Divergent great great great great loved it so much now so yeah I gave it a five out of five love the cast love the story love the score loved everything about it you guys have seen the movie please leave a comment down below and let's talk about it what
