Picking up where the first film left off (but with all that exposition now out of the way) the Divergent series continues to be a decent, if somewhat bland, YA adaptation. Tris (Shailene Woodley) and Four (Theo James) are hiding out after the destruction of the Abnegation faction by the Erudite as ordered by Jeanine (Kate Winslet). But Jeanine has a new plan - and it requires a special Divergent and guess who that happens to turn out to be? I hear this deviates quite a bit from the book (making many fans angry) but I still thought it was pretty good on the action and emotional front. A pale imitation of The Hunger Games, but still worth a watch.
