Divergent Movie Review, by Kavya

 Movie  review 

by Kavya Chunduru

The movie, “Divergent” is about a girl, Tris in the faction Abnegation who doesn’t think she fits into her faction. On choosing day, she chose to transfer into another faction, Dauntless, which are the soldiers of the society. The story is about how Tris overcomes her hurdles in her new faction, and rises to become better. 

I think this movie was a good movie. I think that because the characters chosen to play each book character was well thought out. I also read the book before, so I could say that most of the scenes line up with the book and are accurate. My favorite scene from the movie was when the higher ranking officers put a serum into each of the soldiers to weed out who was divergent and destroy Abnegation in the process. Since Tris was a Divergent, she wasn’t affected. She realized that they were trying to destroy Abnegation and took down the operation along with Tobais, another Dauntless. This scene was my favorite scene because it showed the resilience that Tris had to take down the people behind the plan. It showed that Tris still cared for her old faction even though she left it for a new one.My favorite character from the movie would be Tobias because he was a Divergent like Tris and came from Abnegation. He left Abnegation to leave his abusive father and he came to Dauntless and became the top of his class. I think Tobias’ character was strong and showed that you should pick yourself up after something happens. I would rate this movie 5/5 stars because I thought that it included all the elements that made a good movie and it wasn’t boring to watch.
