Set in a futuristic dystopia where society is divided into five factions that each represent a different virtue, teenagers have to decide if they want to stay in their faction or switch to another - for the rest of their lives. Tris Prior makes a choice that surprises everyone. Then Tris and her fellow faction-members have to live through a highly competitive initiation process to live out the choice they have made. They must undergo extreme physical and intense psychological tests, that transform them all. But Tris has a secret that she is Divergent, which means she doesn't fit into any one group. If anyone knew, it would mean a certain death. As she discovers a growing conflict that threatens to unravel her seemingly peaceful society, this secret might help her save the people she loves... or it might destroy her.
Leave your thoughts about Divergent.
| Laramie Movie ScopeRobert RotenIt was a relief to be pleasantly surprised by 'Divergent.' I was not expecting much, based on early reviews, but this is actually a good movie. |
| People MagazineAlynda WheatIf there's one area in which Divergent outpaces The Hunger Games by a country mile, it's chemistry. |
| Detroit NewsTom LongFans of the book will likely be pleased. More importantly, people who don't know a thing about the books may get swept up, as well. |
| Denver PostLisa KennedyDirected by Neil Burger, Divergent is a solidly engaging outing. Only one wishes for more. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesBill ZweckerThe strength of Burger’s movie is the fact that a non-reader of Roth’s work can enjoy Divergent and not be confused by any aspect of the storyline. |
| Austin American-StatesmanJoe GrossWoodley does a perfectly solid job as Tris (though she certainly doesn't have Lawrence's steady charisma), while James is all eyebrows, jawline and piercing eyes. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatA fascinating dystopian tale about a multi-talented young woman who faces many challenges as she tries to remain true to her rebellious character. |
| Dallas Morning NewsChris VognarHey, we gotta kill time between Hunger Games installments somehow. Why not Divergent? |
| OregonianJoLene KrawczakWhile Burger, Daughtery and Taylor skimp on the characters’ interior lives, they do make some surprising improvements on the book. |
| Hollywood & FineMarshall FineIt's not bad ... but not great either..seems to be marking time until the story really kicks in, which doesn't happen until the final 20 minutes |
