After the events from the first movie, we follow Tris as she is left scarred from the past events, having more and more nightmares. Once a new hidden box is found by Jeanine, which allegedly contains a message from the ancestors but only a Divergent can open it, a new confrontation is about to emerge. Together with some new allies, Tris and Four must fight once again in an attempt to stop Jeanine.It's a good continuation of the events from the first instalment which presents the two protagonists as they face an apparently new threat from a recent enemy. We're about to see once again plenty of action, emotion and drama, but also unexpected changes and turnovers, all blended in superb CGI. A significant difference from its predecessor is the fact that it tends to focus much more on the emotional part. It insists to present in detail parts of the story which don't involve much action, thus making the first half a bit slow and sometimes dull. Think of it as a somewhat different approach regarding the main plot, which it's up to you to judge if it's for better or worse. From my point of view, it is a bit of a let-down.I was once again impressed by the CGI and the simulations which were top notch in terms of story and implementation, which, with a couple of unexpected characters, managed to introduce something new, something pleasant for the viewer. Unfortunately, not the same can be said about the rest of the movie, which had an overall tendency of lowering the impact which the first movie had. It isn't as impressive as the other one, it isn't as suspenseful and as emotional. You still get to care for the main characters, but this is mostly due to the first instalment. It does little to improve their contribution, and together with the drop in action, you get a noticeable change in the end.I'm not saying that it's a bad movie. No sir. It's just that I had the same expectations from the sequel as I had from its predecessor and this is mostly why I got a bit disappointed. I enjoyed it, I like its story and especially its finale, which once again left room for a sequel, while the special effects are great. I'm just upset that it could have been a better movie and it should have been.

A mediocre effort at best Insurgent is hampered by a boring plot and even the action sequences fail to get a rise out of you. This makes Divergent look like Citizen kane. Should be avoided to teach Hollywood a lesson: Audiences are no fool.

So...I had this movie since forever in my laptop and since there was no WiFi I thought, well, what the hell? let's get it over with..I have already read the books unlike other people and I gotta say, the movie is even more boring than the books tbh... The only reason I gave 5 is because i REALLY liked Cate's portrayal of Jeanine...her scenes are the only ones that was memorable to me...Four, tris, Caleb- the characters are so one-dimensional, that there should be an award for who was the most one-dimensional of them all... will watch allegiant when I have nothing else to watch AT ALL... like seriously, my clichéd Korean and Chinese dramas are better than this since I go there with the expectations that it will be clichéd but with Hollywood movies I am used to having more expectations..

Absolutely loved this film and in fact all three in the series. Easy to watch and enjoyable. There are a few 'professional critics' giving low scores however if they pulled their heads from their butts they may just chill out and enjoy the film too!The two hours average for each of these films feels about right, enough to establish a story without it dragging on. I would however have been just as happy with another 20 - 30 minutes of content!
