Divergent 2014 Movie

Divergent

Plot: (Welcome)I can understand there is a target audience for Divergent. I also expect Veronica Roth's novel from which it's based isn't nearly as awful as its theatrical adaptation, but let's get one thing absolutely straight... Divergent is terrible. There's really no way of getting around it.

I'm sure Roth's readers were able to make sense of the world she created on the page. A world in which a human society in a dystopic future has quarantined themselves from the outside world and divided into factions based on their personality types. I'm sure those same readers will find it easier to digest what is on the screen based on their familiarity with the source material. However, I don't want anyone pretending this movie offers up an explanation for what's taking place that makes sense in any way, shape or form.
