I couldn’t remember where Divergent left off, so was feeling a little disoriented at the beginning. Plus the addition of new characters was a bit sudden, but not that bad. The thing is I couldn’t connect with Tris and the film just started out with her being a kind of emotional mess, and I partly knew the reason why but it wasn’t enough to convince me. The conclusion was not expected at all, but getting to that was a little too easy. There was no explanation as to how Tris knew she had to do whatever and it seemed to be a kind of in the moment thing.
So though the action and visuals were cool, it felt a bit too easy at times and the characters were too flat. I am glad that there was more Maggie Q in it this time, but still not enough!
