TheWrap
“Allegiant” ends up feeling like a mid-season climax to serialized TV drama. The pieces are in play, the wheels in motion. Stay tuned, loyal viewers, and you'll get your answers next year.

The Hollywood Reporter Jordan Mintzer
For a film that takes great pride in its heroine's nonconformism, pretty much everything in Allegiant feels conventional.

Variety Peter Debruge
Although “Allegiant” does recapture the original film's sense of constantly discovering and adapting to fresh information, audiences no longer identify with anyone in particular.

Time Out London Tom Huddleston
It all leads to a climax so staggeringly lazy and glib that you honestly expect Woodley just to turn to the camera in the final scene, shrug her shoulders and walk off.

Screen International Fionnuala Halligan
Long, shiny, and treading a lot of water.

Empire
Instead of bringing much-needed clarity, Allegiant piles on yet more bamboozling mythology to flummox and confound.

The Telegraph Robbie Collin
Like the earlier Divergent films, Allegiant is studded with enticing science-fiction ideas, but it keeps such a poker-straight face while presenting them, you often can't help but crack up.

The Guardian Henry Barnes
Big but boring, expansive but cheap-looking, Allegiant spins in place, waiting for next year's Ascendent to come along and offer resolution. In all candour: you can do without it.

Chicago Tribune Michael Phillips
It's a pretty dull picture, I must say, because it's my duty to say it. And it's a pretty dull picture, I must say, because something about its particular grade of dullness may cause memory loss.

Movie Nation Roger Moore
This sort of movie really should be about more than meekly obvious names for human traits separated into tribes, the future tech, the dystopian landscape, the fashions, the hair styles...But there isn't a line that lands, a scene that sticks with you, an emotion you feel or a moment this movie drags you to the edge of your seat.
