The Divergent Series: Allegiant - Part 1

It's easier to forgive bad writing and directing when the eye candy is tasty, and a good script with vivid characters can make an audience overlook cheap effects. But when neither the material nor the CGIs are any good, the "Exit" sign becomes more compelling than the screen itself.

The Divergent Series: Allegiant - Part 1 is the third, but sadly not the last, adaptation of Veronica Roth's young adult dystopia novels. Coming on the heels of The Hunger Games and The Maze Runner, the Divergent series often seems to blend into the others. Thanks to similarly named characters and repeated tropes, viewers can be forgiven for expecting Katniss Everdeen to show up at some point.
