MOVIE REVIEW: ‘Allegiant’ isn’t the last ‘Divergent’ movie and that’s unfortunate

Film: The Divergent Series – Allegiant Directed by: Robert Schwentke Starring: Shailene Woodley, Jeff Daniels, Theo James, Naomi Watts The Divergent series always seemed a bit of an enigma to me.

First Trailer For ‘Divergent’ Feels A Bit Too Familiar

Do you love The Hunger Games, but wish it had less ridiculous costumes and a more straightforward take on action? Do you swoon at the thought of a strong, independent teen becoming a women while single-handedly saving/damning the entire planet?
