The Divergent Series: Allegiant [DVD]

The third film in the Divergent film series, based on the books by Veronica Roth. The Divergent Series: Allegiant continues the story that began in Divergent and Insurgent. Following Jeanine's defeat at the end of Insurgent, the people of Chicago were ready to head out into the world beyond the wall after discovering a message from the Founders, but Evelyn (Naomi Watts) has other ideas and once again seals the wall and attempts to take over by force becoming yet another dictator. This causes a divide inside Chicago as the forces loyal to Evelyn begin a series of mock trials executing many of the people of Abnegation while those opposed follow the people of Amity led by Octavia Spencer.Our main characters Tris (Shailene Woodley) and Four (Theo James) rescue Tris's brother from the mock trials and head over the wall along with several others and soon discover the Bureau (ledy by Jeff Daniels) who hope to use Tris in finding a way of curing the imperfect (most of the people of Chicago) but in their pursuit of a cure they have neglected Chicago allowing it to run amok.The film continues the great story and action seen in the first two Divergent films and the same great cast returns (Shailene Woodley, Theo James, Ansel Elgort, Miles Teller, Zoe Kravitz, Maggie Q, Naomi Watts, Ray Stevenson, Octavia Spencer and Daniel Dae Kim) along with newcomers (Jeff Daniels, Xander Berkeley, Bill Skarsgard).The film ends with a cliffhanger which is to be concluded in a 4th film which may end up being a special TV movie if Lionsgate gets their way rather than releasing the final film in theaters as originally planned. This film was much better than people have given it credit for and it was the poor turn out in theaters for this third installment that is resulting in Lionsgate changing their intitial plans. Give this one a chance on home video and show Lionsgate that we do want to see the final installment.Great special effects and post-apocalyptic environments are on view in this installment. A great third film for the franchise.

This movie is the best of all 3 in the Divergent Series! The film starts out with the trials of some of the people who served Janine. One of which gets executed. Evelyn has taken over as the leader. Four is able to free Caleb and save him from punishment out of respect for Tris. Tris and Four and a few others are able to escape over the wall. Tori is shot down by Edgar while attempting to escape. The rest of the group make it over the wall safely and are rescued by the bureau. Meanwhile, Chicago is at war. David, the leader of the bureau, thanks Tris for opening the Box since she is the only "Pure" Divergent. David was attempting a plan to cure all of the "Damaged" people for centuries and had only succeeded at creating 1 "Pure" human being, Tris, in all of history. Over time, Tris starts to really trust David. Four decides to go visit The Fringe where he uncovers David's real hidden agenda. David keeps Tris and Four separated on purpose as a result because Four warns Tris that David can't be trusted. Tris doesn't listen to Four regarding that, at first. Later on, Tris is able to understand the reason David shouldn't be trusted. David is secretly trying to help Evelyn destroy Chicago's citizens by contaminating them with tear gas that can wipe the memories of anyone who comes into contact with it. Evelyn starts to release the tear gas but Tris is able to stop it's release at the last minute, thereby, saving the entire city. The film ends with Tris and Four giving each other a big hug without realizing that David is also watching from the background. Very entertaining Movie. Get this movie and see for yourself. It's the best! I can't wait for the 4th film "Ascendent". 5 stars from me.

The plot was fantastic

Great

I watched this again last night and was pleased with the movie. Thank God I am not one of those people that goes to a movie hoping it will be just like the book and then disappointed. I noticed that there was no Veronica Roth in the extra features and was wondering what her take is on the movie.My daughter thought the movie series was done, but I had to prove to her that there is another movie in the works. I'm getting tired of getting two movies where there was only one book. I was with my daughter on this one though. If I didn't see another movie, it ended well enough to end the series.I will probably not go see the last movie in the theater and just order the blu-ray so as to complete the series; although, I did enjoy this movie. The acting was first rate. Jeff Daniels as a David was wonderful. He was a benevolent character that you will love to hate. Naomi Watts is wonderful as someone that you don't like just because of her abandonment of her child to a monster. Theo James is getting more liquid and less stiff (I could truly see him as a bond character), and Shailene Woodley is improving also; however, I think she is a wonderful actress as is proven in "The fault in our Stars".I don't think I'll ever be able to watch another movie that Miles Teller is in and not dislike him just because he is so good at his character in these movies. He is a character that you just don't like from beginning to end. While Ansel Elgort is fabulous as a brother Tris can't trust and doesn't like. She loves him on principle, but doesn't really like him. Amazing Dichotomy.This is another Urban apocalypse series, but I like it. It is another in a line of movies that are a guilty pleasure to watch.

Binge watched all three movies in the series. They were really good. The perfect mix of action, sci-fi, and romance/personal/family bonds. I'm so disappointed the 4th movie was pulled from production.

Good movie. It is good to see that the film-makers decided that Beatrice should be allowed to live at the end.

Celui-ci est juste en anglais. Mais tel que décrit

Steelbook nella media, senza infamia senza lode, è più bella quella di Insurgent. Per il prezzo comunque ci sta. Arrivato in anticipo di 2gg.Nessun disco bonus extra all'interno (mi pare che nemmeno esista), Insurgent invece ne aveva uno coi bonus, complice il fatto che misero anche il 3D nel disco principale insieme al 2D. Film carino, mi è piaciuto di meno in questa seconda visione. Peccato non vedremo mai il finale della saga :(

This whole series has taken a different path than the books did, sometimes for the better. This movie in particular, however, is so far off of the original that it could have just been a coincidence that the characters were named the same. It's a shame, really.

Watchable movie
