One choice can transform you-or it can destroy you. But every choice has consequences, and as unrest surges in the factions all around her, Tris Prior must continue trying to save those she loves--and herself--while grappling with haunting questions of grief and forgiveness, identity and loyalty, politics and love. Tris's initiation day should have been marked by celebration and victory with her chosen faction; instead, the day ended with unspeakable horrors. War now looms as conflict between the factions and their ideologies grows. And in times of war, sides must be chosen, secrets will emerge, and choices will become even more irrevocable--and even more powerful. Transformed by her own decisions but also by haunting grief and guilt, radical new discoveries, and shifting relationships. Tris must fully embrace her Divergence, even if she does not know what she may lose by doing so. Written by

Many fans criticized the fact that Tris was able to fire a gun confidently (while in the novel is unable to hold a gun in her hands, due to PTSD), she only fires it once throughout the movie & doesn't even harm anyone with it either. See more »
Goofs
When Tris is in Candor HQ while it is being attacked, she is shot at by multiple armed assailants and dashes through a door. The bullets from the guns punch through the thick metal doors. A few moments later, the men open fire on the members of Candor. Tris inspects the wounds and notices that small objects are now embedded in their skin with absolutely no skin irritation or mark. The men did not reload or change weapons at any time. See more »

Divergent was not brilliant, but it was your average young adult movie. Insurgent is way below that. It is so bad that I wanted to leave the theater and read my book.
But anyway, let's talk about the movie. In the first film Tris learns she is special, in the second she learns she is *very* special, but just if her boyfriend lets her do anything. Seriously, I actually had to ask my wife if girls like guys like him or is it just the submissive fantasy of the author. Apparently, a lot of girls like overbearing assholes who think they know what is better for you. And guess who makes her appearance in the sequel? The mother in law!
Bottom line: the sci-fi aspect of the film was marginal, the characters clichéd to the point of monomolecular cardboard and the basic story was learning to accept yourself as your boyfriend tells you what to do while he deals with his mommy issues. I am not kidding: the most sympathetic character in Insurgent was Peter, the asshole who always insults and betrays everybody.
P.S. The Erudite test was remembering something that had happened to you two nights ago? Really? That's what makes you smart?
