Storyline
One choice can transform you-or it can destroy you. But every choice has consequences, and as unrest surges in the factions all around her, Tris Prior must continue trying to save those she loves--and herself--while grappling with haunting questions of grief and forgiveness, identity and loyalty, politics and love. Tris's initiation day should have been marked by celebration and victory with her chosen faction; instead, the day ended with unspeakable horrors. War now looms as conflict between the factions and their ideologies grows. And in times of war, sides must be chosen, secrets will emerge, and choices will become even more irrevocable--and even more powerful. Transformed by her own decisions but also by haunting grief and guilt, radical new discoveries, and shifting relationships. Tris must fully embrace her Divergence, even if she does not know what she may lose by doing so.

Movie Reviews
For the Most Part-Unsatisfying
"Insurgent" is the 2nd Movie in the "Divergent" Series based on the popular trilogy of dystopian future novels. I have read the first 2 books – Loved the first One, Liked the story of the 2nd one, but felt it wasn't written as well. I thought the first movie was not great, but solid. I came into this movie hoping that it would improve upon both the first movie and the 2nd book. For the most part – I was not satisfied. This movie boosts a Great Cast – Including Shailene Woodly, Miles Teller, and Kate Winslet. They and some of the rest of the cast do have good moments, but the acting isn't always consistently good from scene to scene. Maybe it's them, maybe it's the Director, maybe it's both. But more that that, I was hoping the story would be constructed better that it was in the book. From what I can remember from reading it, they changed some things around, but it generally wasn't for the better. The last section of the movie is uplifting, but I just feel the movie had so much promise and for the most part doesn't deliver. Maybe it will improve upon second viewing for me, right now I just feel mostly dissatisfied with it. Like a number of recent film series based on novels, the last book, "Allegiant" will be split into 2 movies, released in 2016 and 2017-I hope for better- 2 ½ out of 4 Stars, 7 out of 10 Stars.
