Divergent Ratings & Reviews
- jackmeat30. januar 2025My quick rating - 6.8/10. Settling into this film, I expected to see the Hunger Games again. Set in a near-future Chicago, what we see is another take on the dystopian society. The central plot here is that growing up in this walled-in world, everyone must fit into one of five classes. But of course, the question here is what if you don't fit into the nicely packaged definition of a single class, then you must be Divergent, or in this movie, a danger to the perfect society. When our main character, Tris (played very well by Shailene Woodley) finds out she is divergent she must hide this secret and discover the reasons why it is such a secret and why society fears divergents. I'll leave all of that for you to watch unfold in the various physical and psychological training exercises that are portrayed on screen. In a nutshell, the world painted is similar to that of Equilibrium but with much less action. This is not a bad thing, since this allows the cinematographer to reveal a wonderfully crafted view of this world. The pacing of this movie moves along nicely as we plod through Tris trying to fit in as a part of the Dauntless clan. Friendships are made, lost, and so on as expected. Even more so is the romantic involvement with the mysterious Four (or 4) played by Theo James (who I believe overacted his part entirely too much). So the mystery of why the government wants to kill all divergents must be unraveled and this leads to the majority of the story. I was happy with just sitting back and enjoying the view during many of the scenes that were almost breathtaking. Not reading the book, I hope that the movie did well to portray the story but I also know it is a trilogy so they couldn't go from start to finish all at once. Stand alone, I believe the movie was quite well made and under-appreciated, swept under the rug by the highly successful Hunger Games series. You will be hard-pressed not to see the similarities between them. I am looking forward to seeing what else this world has in store for us and would recommend that moviegoers join me to find out. Will you see silly acted parts, and scenes that are just there to draw you in with nice landscapes and perfectly choreographed music, YES. But why would anyone complain about something like that? I know I wouldn't. Enjoy this film, you won't regret the time you spent on it.

- Jeremy Schoemaker8. februar 2026Great movie a bit hunger games esq but better look forward to the sequels
- Selina30. marts 2025Great I loved it -30/03/25
- Josh Pike12. januar 2026I thought good but average, the first time I saw it. Watching again, it's better. All the characters are really so well played. While the overarching plot is a classic, power/control fight, the way it plays out is somehow not... classic. Even when you're aware of the arch, the characters keep it engaging. I'll definitely watch again.

- Magnus Carlbaum21. marts 2025Remember this era, ten years ago? When every movie had to be divided into at least 3 separate chapters? Yeah, neither do I. Forgettable.
- Hakihiko8. marts 2025A Solid Dystopian Adventure "Divergent" delivers an engaging dystopian story with a strong lead performance and well-crafted world-building. While it doesn't break new ground in the genre, it remains an entertaining watch, offering a mix of action, romance, and intrigue. Shailene Woodley carries the film with a compelling performance as Tris, making her journey of self-discovery and rebellion feel believable. Theo James as Four adds a strong presence, and their chemistry works well enough to make the romance subplot engaging without overwhelming the main storyline. The supporting cast, including Kate Winslet as the calculating antagonist, brings depth to the world, even if some characters feel underdeveloped. Visually, the film does a good job of bringing the faction-based society to life, with distinct aesthetics that make each group stand out. The action sequences are well-executed, particularly in the training segments, keeping the pacing relatively engaging. However, the plot follows a familiar formula, making it feel predictable at times, and some elements of the world-building could have been explored more deeply. Despite its flaws, "Divergent" remains an enjoyable entry in the young adult dystopian genre. It's not groundbreaking, but it has enough intrigue and strong performances to make it a worthwhile watch.
