An average movie

To be honest, I find it really hard to actually care about this franchise. As a result, even though I saw the first installment only a month ago, I think I already forgot half of it. Seriously, sometimes, they were talking about some events and characters that I really couldn’t remember at all.. For example, who was this guy Will?!? Still, I have to admit that the damned thing was actually slightly better than the first installment. Indeed, I thought it was darker as you get to see how messed up Tris and Four might have become. Unfortunately, they didn’t get really far in this direction and the whole thing was just barely entertaining. Apparently, contrary to the previous movie, they changed many things like adding the simulations to open the box but it was a good move as those simulations were pretty neat, especially visually speaking. However, I’m afraid I still didn’t care much about the story and the characters involved. Eventually, it is quite a shame that, with such a stellar female cast (Shailene Woodley, Kate Winslet, Ashley Judd, Naomi Watts, Octavia Spencer, Zoë Kravitz, Maggie Q, Suki Waterhouse), they couldn’t deliver something better than this and, except for Woodley, none of them had actually much to do during the whole thing. Anyway, to conclude, all in all, I have to admit that it was still a decent watch but I will probably forgot about the whole thing within a few days, I’m afraid.
