Insurgent

Cast: Shailene Woodley, Theo James, Miles Teller, Naomi Watts and Kate Winslet
Director: Robert Schwentke
Genre: Sci-Fi, Action, Thriller


An average action thriller. Divergent was better.



You may look forward to:

• The sci-fi bit where Tris is tested for all the 5 realms, is interesting and engages you, though thats only less than half an hour of the entire duration of the movie
• Shailene Woodley and Theo James, does good, nothing extra ordinary however
• Kate Winslet is more or less the same as in 'Divergent'

What you can sleep over:

• I would say Miles Teller is wasted, after knowing what he is capable of doing with 'Whiplash'. He deserves better roles
• Naomi Watts wasted again, she didn't have much to play, very limited screen space

The dampeners you should be aware of:

• Where the movie fails is the lack of an engaging storyline. The movie is continuously stretched too far, in highlighting to you 'Tris' as a very important key person, instead of her actions which should rather do all the talking. Unnecessary drama, small bit of run and chase, none of them leaves any impact
• Divergent had you knowing a new society, the different realms, how the society work, how are men trained. Now when you know them all, Insurgent doesn't offer you much

My Rating: 2/5
