The Divergent Series: Allegiant
Time and again I end up asking myself the same question: do sequels need to be made? Are they really necessary? And more often than not, I find myself inclined towards NOT! (and yes, not a fan of the last Star Wars either). Allegiant, surprisingly enough (admittedly not a huge fan of the series) does break that mould for me. It’s not the most original film out there, but it entertains. And here it scores: sheer entertainment. It’s like an adrenaline rush.
Following the events of its prequel, Allegiant is the third instalment in the popular Divergent series franchise and tells the latest story of Tris (Shailene Woodley) and Four (Theo James) as they venture into a new world, far more dangerous than ever before. Nicely done action scenes make this one a fun joyride as the target audience should gulp it up!
Go join Tris & Four as they battle both inner and outer demons. The story is has a few holes, but hey, cinema is for entertainment. (JA/JR)
