Allegiant

The first compulsion is to reach for an unflattering label when dubbing the third installment of the **Divergent** series as "the poor man's **Hunger Games**". Sure, the comparison was inevitable but all the Divergent editions had to do was prove that the unfair comparing and contrasting were wrong. Well, the knockoff status was indeed warranted and unfortunately this copycat YA Sci-Fi serving of a harried heroine and her excitable dystopian dealings never mustered up the kind of distinctive exp…

The plot feels stretched thin, trying too hard to expand the world while failing to give any real weight to the story. There’s an attempt to build tension and introduce new conflicts, but the character depth just isn’t there. Tris, who started as a strong lead, feels sidelined by a weak script, and halfway through, I found myself disconnected f…
