Storyline
One choice can transform you-or it can destroy you. But every choice has consequences, and as
unrest surges in the factions all around her, Tris Prior must continue trying to save those she
loves--and herself--while grappling with haunting questions of grief and forgiveness, identity and
loyalty, politics and love. Tris's initiation day should have been marked by celebration and victory
with her chosen faction; instead, the day ended with unspeakable horrors. War now looms as
conflict between the factions and their ideologies grows. And in times of war, sides must be
chosen, secrets will emerge, and choices will become even more irrevocable--and even more
powerful. Transformed by her own decisions but also by haunting grief and guilt, radical new
discoveries, and shifting relationships. Tris must fully embrace her Divergence, even if she does
not know what she may lose by doing so.

Movie Reviews
This film pretty much picks right up where the last one ended with very little time lapse.
Jeanine's (Kate Winslet) has issued an order that all divergents need to be killed until her
soldiers find a box that was kept in Tris (Shailene Woodley) parents' house and she has discovers
that she will need a divergent to open it. Tris, Four (Theo James), Caleb (Ansel Elgort) and Peter
(Miles Teller) have found refuge in a little village governed by Johanna (Octavia Spencer) until
the hunting begins. Eric (Jai Courtney) and Max (Mekhi Phifer) have retained their blind loyalty
to Jeanine; however I think that Eric has gotten even nastier whereas Max is just trying to do
his job. I have to say that loyalty is a big element in this film….. you just never know. This film
actually kept up a good pace and there was very little lull time. They said that there would be a
lot more action in this film. I don't know about "a lot" more, but there was definitely more than
the last one. I was also glad to see that Tris was no longer wimpy when it came down to fighting,
however emotionally she was feeling pretty guilty. They really beat that dead horse throughout
the film. I did not see this film in 3D, but because of all the special effect, that might have been
a mistake. Man, computer generated imagery has sure come along way. It really makes me look
forward to some of the upcoming films this summer like Jurassic World and Terminator. I am
happy for my fellow German director Robert Schwentke who has successfully bounced back from
that armpit of a film, Rest in Peace Department, RIPD for short, that he directed back in 2013.
You can only go up from that one. Anyway, I think that this film will do well especially with the
"tween" crowd; and once you've invested in the series it's kind of hard to not find out what
happens next. Do I think that this film was one of the best films I've seen this year……. Nope,
but it was entertaining and didn't suck. I don't recommend that you see this film if you haven't
seen Divergent. This one holds its own, but you'll enjoy it more if you've seen the first one.
