Allegiant (2016) 6/10

Starring : Shailene Woodley, Theo James, Naomi Watts, Octavia Spencer, Zoe Kravitz, Ansel Elgort, Miles Teller, Jeff Daniels
Director : Robert Schwentke
Running Time : 121 mins

Tris (Woodley) and Four (James) are forced to escape over the wall surrounding Chicago only to discover that things are almost as bad on the outside. The council know about the situation in Chicago but have done nothing to help, and that David (Daniels), the leader of the Bureau, has been keeping secrets from them.

Although the special effects have improved since the last movie, giving the characters a number of gadgets to play with, this seems to have been at the expense of any discernible plot line. I don’t actually remember any of this happening in the books, and part of me suspects that the majority of the story was made up to pad out the small amount of story from the final book in order to make an extra movie. There will be an element of relief when Ascendant is finally released, as I can feel that this series is actually ended, and hopefully it ends on a better note than the rest of the series.
