Storyline: DIVERGENT is a thrilling action-adventure film set in a world where people are divided into distinct factions based on human virtues. Tris Prior (Shailene Woodley) is warned she is Divergent and will never fit into any one group. When she discovers a conspiracy by a faction leader (Kate Winslet)to destroy all Divergents, Tris must learn to trust in the mysterious Four (Theo James) and together they must find out what makes being Divergent so dangerous before it’s too late. Based on the best-selling book series by Veronica Roth.
The movie will remind you why we fell in love with the world of Divergent. Simply put into one word: Perfect!!!
Everyone behind the making and executing of this film deserves pats on their backs. There isn’t a single thing I can point out that did not work in the film. From the beginning when you see the futuristic beat up city of Chicago, that I have to admit the movie did a better job in creating what the book described as to what I pictured in my head while reading. Just in that one detail, I was blown away. The buildings and machinery that help run the city and the faction clothing were so on point. I really loved that even though it’s set in a dystopian world we were still given colors, textures and beauty throughout the whole film. The way the faction areas were divided made sense and flowed with each other during the movie. I could sit here and pick each thing or moment apart but everything would end with same result. Perfect!
Moving on to our beloved characters. If someone questions what does chemistry look like? All they have to do is watch Divergent and they will see it first hand. From the minor to major characters, I loved them all. I was extremely pleased of course with Four and Tris. If those two didn’t have it then it wouldn’t have matter how great everything else. The main protagonists have to sell it to us so the fans can gobble it up and not leave one crumb behind. Theo James (Four) and Shailene Woodley (Tris) were jaw dropping amazing together and individually too. The age difference did not affect in any way as I thought it might when they were first cast. The “kiss” was hotter than lava. I could have watched them non-stop. They were meant to be Four and Tris. No doubt about it after you watch and experience Divergent. Other characters that stood out were Eric (Jai Courtney), his intensity as the Dauntless leader was fantastic and HOT. He was scary yet you could not take your eyes off him (Theo, too of course). Kate Winslet as Jeanine, holy smokes she made evil look easy. This was no Rose on the Titanic, Winslet owned her role and shows us she can also be the villain. Then you got Peter (Miles Teller) being cocky like we know him to be from other films. The fight between Peter and Tris, OMG! I wanted to jump inside the movie and kick his ass because dayum that was one crazy fight scene. It really looked like she got her ass handed to her. But no worries, Tris shows why she is Divergent and Dauntless and kicks ass eventually. You guys that have read the book know how the story goes. Tris won’t go down without a fight!
Something else that was just WOW, the movie score & soundtrack. I did not want the movie to end or certain scenes to end, so that I could listen to the songs longer. All the song choices are amazing and where they were placed just make the movie stellar. Just wait for that “kiss” the music will add such a sensual vibe to a kiss that’s already sexy to begin with. Ladies you will be thinking, man Woodley is one lucky gal during that “kiss”.
Divergent is probably one of the best book to film adaptation I have seen in a long time, and to get it right on the first film, Summit Ent. really did their homework. Like I mentioned before, everyone behind the making of Divergent needs a standing ovation. Divergent is that AMAZING. After you experience Divergent, you will leave the theater with such a movie hangover, that you’ll be dying to see it again right away. I recommend this movie for everyone. I am excited to go see it again and take my whole family. Those that haven’t read the book, will still enjoy it immensely. So excited that the day has arrived. Happy Divergent Day!
On Tuesday March 3rd, the multi-city Divergent tour stopped in Dallas, Texas to promote the upcoming release of Divergent. RCE/OUaT was part of the red carpet and we were able to ask Jai Courtney and Miles Teller a question each about the film.
We also took several photographs of the Jai and Miles and will share them soon as well. This experience was great and we hope to experience it again for other movies. To end the night, we were able to watch a screening of ‘Divergent’ which was better than the icing on the cake. On march 21st, we will share our full movie review of ‘Divergent’ (we are embargoed). Till then though, I will say that Summit Entertainment did Veronica Roth’s novel justice. The movie was fantastic. I am still in a ‘Divergent’ hangover.
We hope you enjoy our interview and stay tuned as we continue to share more from the Divergent Dallas red carpet event and ‘Divergent’ news.
Fandango shares the first look at #Divergent behind the scenes footage along with interviews from Veronica Roth, Theo James, Shailene Woodley, Jai Courtney, Kate Winslet and Ashley Judd.
CHECK IT OUT!
THIS JUST MADE MY DAY!!!! Guys I cant tell you enough times, how I wished it was March already!!!
I’ll admit that the reason I finally watched Jack Reacher was that it was released in Blu-ray this past Tuesday. When it hit theaters back in December, I didn’t have the drive to see it until I found out that Jai Courtney (Spartacus: War of the Damned, Divergent) was in this film alongside Tom Cruise (Oblivion, Top Gun), by then it was already out of the theaters. Then I come to find out that Jack Reacher is an adaptation of Lee Child‘s novel One Shot. One Shot is the 9th book in Lee Child’s book series titled Jack Reacher. I haven’t read this series so my thoughts will reflected the movie itself. From looking at reviews of the book series online, its seems that the Jack Reacher series is popular and gets great reviews. Anyone that likes to read a good mystery thriller with tons of suspense should probably read the series by Lee Child.
Jack Reacher was mysterious and suspenseful. From the beginning of the movie when it opens with a man setting up a sniper rifle to take out bystanders from the parking garage across the Allegheny River from PNC Park you are immediately thrown into a suspenseful event. Why is this man there and killing these innocent people? Then the police are at the scene of the crime and find a fingerprint of the killer. Once the finger print is analyzed they have their suspect and it’s an open and shut case pretty much. So the suspect they go after is James Barr (Joseph Sikora) ex-military sniper. Barr is being interrogated and the one thing he does tell the police by jotting it down on a piece of notepad is “Get Jack Reacher”. Police are left wondering who the heck Jack Reacher (Tom Cruise) is and why does their suspect want them to contact him. This gets the police looking up who Reacher is, they come to find out he is practically a ghost. Once a military police corps officer. The last 2 years Reacher hasn’t existed or pop up anywhere. So how does the police contact a man who doesn’t want to be found? Easy, Jack Reacher just drops in at the police station. Reacher saw on TV the headlines news about Barr and the killing spree and went straight to the police station. When Barr is taken to jail, he is brutally attacked and left in a coma. Jack meets the defense attorney Helen Rodin (Rosamund Pike) and she request that Jack become a lead investigator in the case for her. Jack agrees and begins his task at dissecting the crime committed by Barr.
Jack immediately starts to uncover things the police missed or covered up. This is a story where you can’t always believe the evidence before you. Jack Reacher is Tom Cruise at Tom Cruise level. The man never goes in half-ass, he takes his career and acting serious and gives us 110%. In Jack Reacher he might have kicked it up a notch since he was one of the producers of the film. The chemistry between Jack Reacher and defense attorney Helen Rodin was believable and they made a great duo. As I mentioned earlier in the review, I wanted to see Jai Courtney (Charlie) in this film and was pleased with his part and delivery as well. Jai looks great in this movie and was the ultimate villain. I can’t wait to see what Jai brings to the table in next spring’s Divergent release.
Great movie to check out if you haven’t yet. Guys will love it and I think the ladies will too just like I did. Why not, you get Tom Cruise for 2 hours on your TV screen.
