I really wasn't looking forward to seeing Divergent. Though I enjoyed the book to an extent and I am a Hunger Games fan, this movie looked awful from the trailers. Well, after having seen it, I could say that this movie really surprised me. It was a solid sci-fi drama film that wasn't half bad! The acting was mostly okay. Shailene Woodley did a great job (as usual) as her character. Kate Winslet wasn't in the movie that much, but she did a good job as her role. The rest of the cast were mostly good except for some truly awful supporting performances. The story was well adapted from the book except for some key parts that it missed. My friend, who has not read the book, said the story was a little hard to follow at times. I thought this movie was very well paced too, except for some boring parts in the middle. The 2.5 hour runtime went by fairly fast. It was well directed (except for some shaky cam), had good cinematography and effects, some decent action and it was mostly well written. My only problems with the movie are that there was some bad acting, it got boring at some parts, it got incredibly cheesy by the end and that the whole love story was stupid. OVERALL: Divergent is a surprisingly good movie with a great story and a great pace. It suffers from cheesy moments and a poorly done love story. RATING: 7/10.
