Divergent

Synopsis: Divergent is a thrilling action-adventure set in a future world where people are divided into distinct factions based on their personalities. Tris Prior (Woodley) is warned she is Divergent and will never fit into any one group. When she discovers a conspiracy to destroy all Divergents, she must find out what makes being Divergent so dangerous before it's too late. Divergent is based on the best-selling book series by Veronica Roth. [Source: Cathay Cineplexes]


 
The movie follows most of what was written in the original novel, except for a few scene which was altered to suit cinema settings. The plot has a resemblance to The Hunger Game, where people are divided into various classes to  suit their personality. An evil then arises to try to break the balance and it is left to the leads to save the day. The pace of the movie was good, with just enough excitement to keep the audience contented. Overall, I will find this a pretty good movie to watch. It was also confirmed there will be a sequel to this "Divergent", which will again based on the novel "Insurgent" released in 2012.
 
Rate: 7.5/10
