Watching the Divergent movies is like watching a loveless marriage between ideas and execution that will never truly come together. Buried deep beneath the tedious YA tropes, author Veronica Roth stumbled across something interesting about how perceptions of reality can dictate societal control. However, the adaptations of her books have never seized upon this relatively interesting notion, and instead relied heavily on genre conventions, poor characterization, and lazy plotting to tell the same story three times: a young woman must save a society from an evil, calculating autocrat. It leads to movies that never add up to more than “Can’t we all just get along?” and Robert Schwentke’s The Divergent Series: Allegiant is only the latest in this trend. The only difference is it leans a little bit heavier on action, and does so at the expense of its heroine.
With the new The Crow remake coming soon, we take a look back at the 30-year-old cult classic original–and where the stars are now.
