I see many negative reviews here, nevertheless while the story may be weak I think the movie doesn't deserve such a low rating.
-lite spoiler alert-There are stories out there that are weaker, and I enjoyed this movie for what it is: a relaxing movie set in a scifi environment of -people realising they are hold in a city cage and want to break out.
So if you want to break out too it is a fine movie to watch and I like the core message. Nothing to intellectual or artistical though and romance is absent. It could have been much better, but it is certainly enjoyable.

The 3rd installment of the divergent series is all about the end of the prior film. Is there anyone outside the wall? Should we go and who decides? If there are those outside the wall that are still alive what do they want from us? Is it a good thing? Are those outside lying? This movie does a lot to make you consider in terms of your world is based on your environment. If you don't look outside your normal day to day life you will have a
very narrow view of the world you live in. People who seem to be honest and have your best interests at heart are just trying to get something from you or further there own ambitions of power. No, the movie is very left untied at the end it was as if the production company had their sights on making Allegiant a 2 film ending. Unfortunately, the film didn't get great reviews which caused the next film to be cut. Funny, but now was the time to watch the film because the storyline is more about how your point of view is shaped based on your environment. So many of us don't look outside of our News Media that we watch normally and the writers that we read to consider the world may be much different that we may think. It's very warped from reality.... but your reality is your reality.... but isn't it better to see the world as it is?

I am a big fan of the Divergent trilogy. I have read all the books and watched all the movies and in my opinion they are absolutely amazing. Especially I admired the the third movie Allegiant. It is directed by Robert Schwentke and, like its two predecessors, Divergent and Insurgent, its stars Shailene Woodly in the title role as Tris and Theo James as Four. After the earth-shattering revelations of Insurgent, Tris must escape with Four and go beyond the wall enclosing Chicago. For the first time ever, they will leave the only city and family they have ever known. Once outside, old discoveries are quickly rendered meaningless with the revelation of shocking new truths. Tris and Four must quickly decide who they can trust as a ruthless battle ignites beyond the walls of Chicago which threatens all of humanity. In order to survive, Tris will be forced to make impossible choices about courage, allegiance, sacrifice and love. Woodly and James give superb performances. As you'd expect, the film is epic, fast-moving, heart-moving and visually spectacular with jaw- dropping and tear dropping stunt scenes. Definitely it is a thought- provoking movie. However it has its weaknesses. Without reading the book or seeing first two movies, it might have too far-fetching story. Also in some places it is a little bit confusing on whose side somebody like Peter (Miler Teller) or Matthew (Bill Skarsgard) are. Just a little bit confusing, finally of course it all comes out. That said, this is the best Divergent trilogy movie of all time. Far more entertaining and thrilling, its heart-dropping relationship between Tris and Four make the film even more enjoyable. If it is fantasy, awesomeness, action you're after and you are seeking for some mystery and confusions, this film is definitely for you.

It was a decent movie, but my colleagues and I did manage to find some problems. Firstly, we were unclear on how the regular, non- genetically modified people were able to dispatch the corrupted, genetically modified security guards in hand to hand combat with relative ease. It seems if humanity had developed advanced genomic modification technology, employing security guards who cannot be manhandled by Theo James would be a fairly simple task. Unrelated, it seems like Miles Teller's character, Peter, turns evil in like every movie. His character's lack of meaningful development really is a downer for all the pretentious kiss-ups who watch these movies, who may be led led to believe that they can never change. Also, why do the main characters keep letting him make decisions? It doesn't really make sense. Finally, the film revolves around the so-called "Chicago Experiment," which, if I may be candid, seems like one of the most egregious examples of researchers ignoring the scientific method and all control standards put in place by the organizations that govern international science. I don't understand why a study of that global significance would be organized in a non double-blind procedure without multiple control groups and extensive peer review. In the movie, however, there doesn't even appear to be an independent variable. Also, the entire approval process is four people talking to two other people, one of which is literally the result of said experiment. It just seems like they're asking for bureaucratic overreach. Anyways, we've already sent our concerns to Lionsgate, and we assume they are working tirelessly to fix these problems.
