Despite the best efforts of a game Shailene Woodley and likely future star Theo James, Neil Burger’s “Divergent,” based on the hit book by Veronica Roth, is a joyless, soulless, humorless dud. It is repetitious to the point of parody, never feels like it exists in anything approximating reality, and, like so many “Hunger Games” wannabes, forgets that it’s the characters of that franchise that matter and not the goofy machinations of the plot.
“Divergent” is a defiantly silly movie that takes itself as seriously as Shakespeare. It will likely connect with fans of the book simply because it delivers on the cinematic promise of the story they loved but it’s a pantomime, a film going through the motions without a hint of an actual pulse.(Download Divergent) Set in an overgrown future vision of Chicago (that actually does use the city in fascinating ways in terms of CGI-rendered, post-apocalyptic skylines), “Divergent” imagines a world in which we’re divided into five distinct factions based mostly on the results of a genetically predetermined test. You’re born into one of the character-based factions but you have a chance when you reach a certain age to commit to that group or choose another. The five groups are built on a quintet of relatable human characteristics whether it’s the intelligence-driven Erudite, the charity-centric Abnegation, or the self-explanatory Dauntless.
(Download Divergent) Of course, there’s a sixth group, the legendary Divergent, the people who cross all five factions with their skill sets. And, of course, “Divergent” is the story of one of those unlikely souls. It’s yet another riff on “The Boy Who Lived” from “Harry Potter” or even the destiny of Luke Skywalker. So much of our genre fiction is built around the idea that YOU, dear reader or viewer, could be that special one as well; the one who is not like the others and can lead your people to a greater understanding of humanity and/or save the world.The “Special One” in “Divergent” is Tris (Woodley), a beautiful young lady whose father (Tony Goldwyn) is a leader of the Abnegation faction and whose mother (Ashley Judd) is a supportive friend. Her brother (Ansel Elgort) seems likely to follow the path of his father although leadership within the tribe has been tenuous.(Download Divergent) When Tris takes her test to determine her faction, she learns that she’s a Divergent but is forced to keep it secret since people fear and even hunt that which they deem genetically superior.
But Tris can’t bring herself to stay subjugated within Abnegation, jumping to Dauntless at the last minute, where she meets Four (Theo James), goes through a series of tests/training in her new futuristic variation on the Sharks from “West Side Story”, and makes new friends and enemies. Miles Teller, Zoe Kravitz, Mekhi Phifer, Jai Courtney, and the great Kate Winslet fill out a talented ensemble.A talented ensemble given nearly nothing to do except over-explain the plot.(Download Divergent) “Divergent” is one of those futuristic films in which they’ve scrambled to cram so much storytelling from the source material into the movie that they forgot the characters. Woodley and James do their best, and do actually have strong chemistry together, but the script keeps puncturing ANY possibility of humor, romance, anxiety, etc.—the elements that make a story like this feel urgent or three-dimensional instead of just required once the book reached a certain sales threshold.
There’s no passion here. It’s a filmmaking exercise that simply had to happen instead of anything that people felt creatively inspired to produce.Say what you will about “The Hunger Games” movies, there is a human touch in the performances, direction, and design of those films that somehow, repeatedly,(Download Divergent) gets lost in films reminiscent of the Jennifer Lawrence uber-franchise. We’re constantly told of Tris’ concerns, tests, saga, etc. but SO rarely shown anything that connects beyond a literal reading of the book. OK, here’s the story of “Divergent,” now why should we care? Don’t just show me what these characters are doing, convince me of the why; the reasons underneath their actions. Otherwise, it’s just a bloated (139 minutes!) piece of marketing; a tie-in to another successful product that has no real justification for existence other than it was inevitable as Beatrice Prior’s genetic destiny.
Based on Veronica Roth's best-selling novel (the first in a trilogy followed by "Insurgent" and "Allegiant"), "Divergent" does not entirely break free from its YA-literature origins, but is confidently helmed all the same. Convoluted though the premise is, director Neil Burger (2011's "Limitless") and screenwriters Evan Daugherty (2012's "Snow White and the Huntsman") and Vanessa Taylor (2012's "Hope Springs")(Download Divergent) believe in the story they are telling and spin it cohesively—sometimes at the expense of some wished-for thematic ambiguity. There is a lot to think about regardless of the film's tendency to explain itself rather than let the natural progression of the story pave the way, but the tenacity of the ensemble, led in no small part by the tremendously expressive Shailene Woodley (2013's "The Spectacular Now"), is what keeps one watching.
In a dystopian future society where Chicago stands in partial disrepair and the rest of the country was allegedly destroyed one hundred years ago by war, society is broken into five factions: the smart Erudites, the honest Candors, the peaceful Amity, the brave Dauntless, and the selfless, vanity-free Abnegation,(Download Divergent) who run the government. Each year, a new group of teens are given an aptitude test telling them which faction they are, and then are forced to choose for themselves. Beatrice 'Tris' Prior (Shailene Woodley), belonging in an Abnegation family with parents Natalie (Ashley Judd) and Andrew (Tony Goldwyn) and brother Caleb (Ansel Elgort), knows deep inside she doesn't belong in the faction she was born into, but is thrown for a loop when she learns she is the ultra-rare Divergent—that is, exhibiting characteristics from all five of the sects. Trusting her gut at the expense of losing her family, Tris chooses Dauntless and is tosses instantly into an extensive 10-week training period. Those that pass will forever be a part of the faction, warriors for the good of the nation.
(Download Divergent) Those that do not make the cut will be stripped of all identity and rendered homeless. This pressure would be more than enough for any young person still struggling to find their way, but Tris faces even tougher stakes. In immediate danger if others find out she is Divergent, she nonetheless cannot just stand by and let her faction of origin be threatened when the Eruidites, led by Jeanine Matthews (Kate Winslet), prepare to overthrow Abnegation's humble rule.At nearly two hours twenty minutes, "Divergent" goes a little long but hooks the viewer from the start. Presumably more setup for what is to follow in the next two books' adaptations, the film compellingly introduces its cast of characters and delves immediately into Tris' personal conflict and the fight about to be waged to bring order to her dictatorial society.(Download Divergent) Watching Tris' confidence and cunning develop as she aims to prove her capabilities to Dauntless leader Eric (Jai Courtney) and training instructor Four (Theo James) is palpably woven into the larger political allegory of a civilization struggling for freedom, peace and individuality under the thumb of fascism.
A scene in which one trial calls for Tris to zip-line from a city skyscraper through burnt-out buildings and across the nighttime landscape is exhilarating, the equivalent of an amusement park thrill ride.In her complicated, multi-tiered performance as Tris, Shailene Woodley exemplifies all the traits of a Divergent—a demanding necessity likely easier said than done.(Download Divergent) Unhappy about the laws of the current society but yearning to remain true to herself, Tris leaves her family but never stops loving them. The purveying guidance of "faction over blood" is one she does not—cannot—believe in, and Woodley is able to empathetically pull off a rainbow of emotional dissonance as she sees the people she cares about threatened and the regime before her asphyxiated with mounting totalitarianism. As instructor Four, Theo James (2012's "Underworld: Awakening") brings a tantalizing intensity and unanticipated warmth to a young man whose steely first impressions eventually give way to a drive to better himself and the injustices he sees occurring around him.
Tris and Four's romance is an obvious requirement of the teen-targeted demographic, but they do elicit a burgeoning steam between them.Bringing shade to some of the side roles, Zoë Kravitz (2013's "After Earth") is likable as Tris' closest friend during training, former Candor member Christina; Jai Courtney (Download Divergent)(2013's "A Good Day to Die Hard") is brawny and magnetic as Dauntless leader Eric; Miles Teller (2014's "That Awkward Moment") is underused but effective as hostile Dauntless trainee Peter; Ashley Judd (2013's "Olympus Has Fallen") brings an aching matter-of-factness to Tris' mom, Natalie, and Maggie Q (2011's "Priest") gives test administer/tattooist Tori a straight-talking but underlyingly compassionate demeanor. As predominate antagonistic face of the piece Jeanine Matthews, Kate Winslet (2011's "Contagion") is a plausible straight-faced bad guy, but this is a standard villain role, and not a satisfactorily developed one at that.
Stuck acting most of her scenes out with folders covering her midsection (the actress was pregnant during filming), Winslet is too good for such a restrictive part.Rising in strife and momentum as the story builds toward a temporary stopping point rather than a clear-cut ending, "Divergent" is a solid start to a new franchise for Summit Entertainment. Unlike Bella Swan in the "Twilight" pics, Tris does not need a man or a dreamy glittering vampire to define who she is and what her future holds.(Watch Divergent Online hq) This by itself automatically renders Shailene Woodley's protagonist a more positive figure for young viewers, the troubles she faces instead resembling those that the noble Katniss experiences in "The Hunger Games." If "Divergent" occasionally too closely resembles that latter Suzanne Collins series.
This is an unavoidable byproduct of being like-minded and vaguely derivative, both of them the result of demand within a young-adult market that knows what currently sells and has cultivated a formula to satisfy it.(Watch Movies Online Without Downloading) There is room for improvement in the finished edit, from characters who have abrupt turnabouts for the sole purpose of suiting the demands of the narrative to an overabundance of exposition when the film's themes are already loud and clear without these explanations. That the picture has deeper insinuations and more on its mind should be commended, however. A cogent testament to its overall success: when the movie ends, the urge lingers to find out what will happen next.
