Watch Divergent Full DownloadIn the paltry, post-nuke dystopia of “Divergent,” citizens of what’s left of Chicago are grouped into five “factions”: Candor, Erudite, Abnegation, Dauntless and Amity (What? No Irradiated?). Putting aside the obvious “Harry Potter” rip-off here, allow me to propose a faction for our times: Wannabe knockoffs of “Twilight” and “The Hunger Games.” In this group you will find the rotting remains of “The Host,” “The Mortal Instruments” and “Ender’s Game.” And now “Divergent.” A film adaptation of the first of a trio of young adult novels by newcomer Veronica Roth, “Divergent” features talented Shailene Woodley (“The Descendants”) as its Katniss Everdeen-like heroine Beatrice Prior. As her name suggests, Beatrice dresses like a Puritan. She lives in Abnegation village with her brother Caleb (Ansel Elgort), mother Natalie (Ashley Judd) and father Andrew (Tony Goldwyn of TV’s “Scandal”). Her parents are higher-ups in Abnegation, the “selfless” group in charge of governing. On the day of her “choosing ceremony,Watch Divergent Download
” Beatrice, who must hide the fact she is really a Divergent, an outcast who cannot be categorized, chooses Dauntless, the military-police-like faction in charge of protecting the populace. As an initiate, she is marched to “the Pit,” the Dauntless digs, which resemble a cross between a rock-climbing club and a disco with a chasm. Beatrice changes her name to Tris and her drab homespun garb for the faction’s cool black sports gear. Above all else, Tris must avoid being cut and becoming “factionless.” To do this, she must pass stringent tests involving shooting what look like toy guns, knife throwing, fighting hand-to-hand and trying not to swoon in the presence of a big hunk of Dauntless man-candy, a leader named Four (Englishman Theo James). Tris becomes best friends with pint-sized Christina (Zoe Kravitz), a fellow initiate, who has a big chip on a mini-shoulder. Let the games begin. Oops, wrong crummy movie. Shot in cheap, dizzying shaky-cam style of the first “Hunger Games,” “Divergent” is all hokey plot and canned conflicts. Half the shots are big close-ups of faces reciting banal dialogue (“Let’s get tattoos,” “Face your worst fears, Tris”). Miles Teller has nothing to do except fire lame insults and taunt Tris. Kate Winslet, teetering on 6-inch heels and apparently in a coma, shows up in her car (What? They have cars?) as Jeanine, dastardly Erudite leader who hunts Divergents and is trying to take over the government and enslave Dauntless. Tris’ worst fears involve sinking into mud, angry birds and making the beast with two backs with Fou Watch Divergent Full Movie Download
