Movie 7.0 PQ 9.0 SQ 9.0
Loosely based on the Hunger Games, its another post apocalyptic story about earth ravaged by war and the people left are placed into factions based on life calling and choice. Some protect, some farm, some are the great thinkers and some........ don't fit in at all, they are Divergent. This is the story of Triss (Beatrice) who tries to keep her divergence a secret for fear of being killed. It has all the usual subplots, the love interest, the hated "DI", the best friend and so on. It's a long movie and it's more interesting at times and slow paced in places as well but it builds to a pretty decent finish - yup, you know what happens but I won't tell you.
The production values are great and it looked and and sound great on my XMC-1. Especially seeing that i just plugged it in and made no tweaks.
If you're a Hunger Games fan you will like Divergence.

I started watching this last night. And I had no idea it tied into the Hunger Games. Nonetheless, I came away thinking "That movie reminds me of the Hunger Games..." It was certainly interesting at times but maybe a bit too long. I'd like to see Mad Noresman's review.
Gonna check out Transcendence and Oculus tonite...

SCT Transcendence is Her.....but with a man instead: Him. It's an interesting concept for sure.

I don't believe Divergent and The Hunger Games have any thing in common except for similar typed themes as the books were written by two different authors. I do look forward to seeing the rest of the movie series. Divergent, Insurgent & Allegiant.
