The movie continues the story of the lead character, Tris Prior (played by Shailene Woodley), as she navigates a dystopian world that is divided into five factions based on human virtues. In the first movie, Tris is deemed a threat to the system as she is a ‘divergent’ – someone who possesses the traits of multiple factions. ‘Insurgent’ picks up from where the first movie left off, with Tris on the run with her lover, Four (played by Theo James), and her brother, Caleb (Ansel Elgort).
The trailers for Insurgent have shown exciting action sequences that have got fans eagerly waiting for the movie to hit screens. One standout feature has been the futuristic environments and CGI effects that help to create a believable yet thrilling dystopian world.
In addition to the returning characters, the movie will also introduce new characters played by Naomi Watts and Octavia Spencer. The involvement of such critically acclaimed actors is sure to add to the overall quality of the movie. Additionally, the movie will explore new themes and challenges for the lead characters to overcome.
One area of the movie that may be concerning to fans of the book series is the departure from the original source material. The movie adaptation has chosen to make significant changes to the original storyline, a move that may leave fans feeling disappointed. However, it was necessary to make changes to allow certain plot points to translate better on screen.
The success of the Divergent series has been down to the quality of the acting, directing, and the intricate plotlines. Fans will be hoping that ‘Insurgent’ continues to deliver on these fronts, ensuring that the dystopian world of Divergent remains an exciting and engaging place to be.
One notable absence from the movie is the original director, Neil Burger, who has been replaced by Robert Schwentke. The change in direction is a risk, but Schwentke’s previous work on the ‘Red’ series has shown his ability to create a fast-paced and thrilling story.
As much as fans are eagerly anticipating the release of Insurgent, there have, unfortunately, been some negative reports surrounding the movie’s budget. It has been reported that the movie’s budget spiralled out of control, and producers have been struggling to retain control. The budget concerns have left fans wondering if the movie will live up to expectations, especially given the quality of its predecessor.
At the end of the day, fans of the Divergent series will be cheering on the release of ‘Insurgent’ regardless of any budget concerns.
