So another dystopian-future young-adult series has descended upon us.
Divergent stars Shailene Woodley (as Tris), Theo James (as Four -- I kid you not!), and Ashley Judd (as the wicked witch, I mean Natalie).
It is set in post-apocalyptic-war-torn Chicago, except (from the casting) they must have killed most of the black people during said war...
This movie seems to be a cross between Harry Potter and The Hunger Games, a weird idea to be sure, but if you keep the action moving fast enough, you won't notice how ludicrous the whole plot is.
As it gets closer to the end however, multiple cracks can no longer be hidden from your conscious self, and you just hope they wrap up this first chapter satisfyingly.
Spoiler: They DO NOT.
QBF Rating: 2.5/5
