Released in 2014.
Plot line: In a world divided by factions based on virtues, Tris learns she's Divergent and won't fit in. When she discovers a plot to destroy Divergents, Tris and the mysterious Four must find out what makes Divergents dangerous before it's too late.
This movie is based on book #1 of the Divergent trilogy, a dystopian young adult set of books that is quite fun to read. Book #1 is the best book in the trilogy in my opinion, so I was interested to see how well the movie turned out. Had a movie and dinner date with 11 year old Luke, and we both agreed that the movie was good, but the book is better.
A couple of things that I found interesting:
1. Shailene Woodley, who plays Tris, is also the lead girl in The Fault in Our Stars movie scheduled to be released later this year. And was it just me, or was a pony tail a distraction during all those fighting scenes?
2. Ansel Elgort, who plays her brother in this movie, is the Shailene's love interest in TFIOS. Strange. Kinda like Hollywood had no other options for actors for their YA movies this year.
You can see the movie trailer here. If you have yet to see it, this is a movie worth watching.
