> Realising what's left behind was the home.
Here comes the most expected adventure in the 'Divergent' series. I always wondered what lies outside the wall. So this sequel takes us to the new land where a fresh development takes place. A few old characters were terminated in order to introduce a bunch of new ones. As a theme, it just looked like 'The Scorch Trial', but of course totally a different setting.
The director was retained from the previous installment and I think he did a good job. The concept was too familiar. 'Scorch Trial', 'Catching Fire', 'Aeon Flux', all these films are just like this one. Thankfully, this story was decent. At least better than the previous and weaker than the first. The pace drastically held back due to the split of a book into two films. It has been done in the old days, but the present trend began after 'Deathly Hallows'.
I was excited to know how big stretch it is going to be as a story wise. Because it looked like the things they've accomplished in one place and looking to explore beyond the boundary. I couldn't predict the story, but I knew what's going to happen in the end of every scene. The dystopian theme was clichéd, not the storyline. The way it ended is a sign for a big finale to commence in the final film of the series. Let's hope for 'Ascendant' to end on a high note.

Picking up where "Insurgent" left off; "Tris" and "Four" determine that they must escape the walls of Chicago and make a new life for themselves - regardless of the risks and uncertainty. Once free - perhaps the only few moments of tension in the film - they hook up with a group of ostensibly like-minded rebels; but are they who they say they are? Seeds of suspicion are sewn that test the relationship between Theo & Shailene; and frankly the patience of the viewer. Jeff Daniels tries hard to inject some menace as "David" but Miles Teller "Peter" is just plain irritating. We are clearly heading for a grand-scale denouement, but where is it? Instead someone decided to leave us with some ambiguity (I suspect a fourth in the franchise may have been, at one stage, on the cards?) The actors are going through the motions as though they, too, can't wait for the conclusion so they can all go home for ice cream. It looks good, they look good, but it isn't much good...

Allegiant takes the Divergent series in a direction that just doesn’t work, despite having the same strong visuals and solid score as the previous films. The plot feels stretched thin, trying too hard to expand the world while failing to give any real weight to the story. There’s an attempt to build tension and introduce new conflicts, but the character depth just isn’t there. Tris, who started as a strong lead, feels sidelined by a weak script, and halfway through, I found myself disconnected from her journey. The pacing is all over the place, with rushed moments that should have been developed and long stretches that drag without real purpose.
The directing tries to hold things together, but it feels like the movie is constantly fighting against itself. Key decisions, especially involving Miles Teller’s character, make no sense at all. Shailene Woodley does her best with what she’s given, but the material doesn't support her performance. The rest of the cast ranges from passable to forgettable, with little to no meaningful character growth. Even the chemistry between characters, which was at least somewhat engaging in the previous films, feels forced and lifeless here.
Visually, the cinematography and effects are decent, but they can’t save the film from its weak storytelling. The score is one of the few redeeming factors, adding some much-needed emotion and tension, but it isn’t enough to carry the film. The biggest issue is the lack of a satisfying climax or resolution. The movie builds toward something, only to fizzle out completely, leaving an empty, frustrating ending. It’s no surprise this installment flopped, considering how little effort seemed to go into improving the story. Instead of elevating the franchise, Allegiant feels like a step backward, making it clear why the final chapter was scrapped.
