Okay, just saw this. I went into it not knowing a thing about it so it was slightly a surprise how similar it was to The Hunger Games. That said, I really like the concept of the five factions (shame the clever people are the bad guys but that was quite obvious from the first narration bit for me) and the mystery of what's in the rest of the world.

 

In certain ways I prefer this to HG, there's more of an effort to build a team of characters

(even if a lot of them die)

, the Dauntless' antics are very cool to watch visually, and there's a bit more logical thinking here in HG in that we aren't having children killing each other, there's less out-and-out magic and it's all a little bit more political than the Rebel Alliance against the Evil Empire. HG is superior in terms of plot complications though.

 

Also I love Christina's character.

seems a little strange that she's the only named character I can think of who's been left in the city while Tris and co escape to the wilds of Illinois

 

I saw this yesterday and I LOVED IT!

Such a great movie and I really don't get why it's rated so badly by the critics

 

I get why people compare it to the Hunger Games tho.

 

 

You could just feel the (sexual) tension between Tris and Four until they finally kissed. I love them together.

The saddest part was probably where her mother died. I was about to tear up
