9/10
A thrilling & action packed follow-up to Divergent.
20 March 2015
Insurgent continues with the story of Tris(Shailene Woodley). Following the events of Divergent, Tris is on the run with Four(Theo James), Caleb(Ansel Elgort) & Peter(Miles Teller) from Jeanine(Kate Winslet), who is the twisted leader of the Erudite faction. Jeanine obtains a prophecy that can only be read by Divergents. Jeanine will stop at nothing to capture all Divergents & find out what the prophecy has to say. Now, it is up to Tris & Four to stop Jeanine & put an end to her reign of terror.

Insurgent is a brilliant movie. This film surpasses its predecessor in every way. The special effects are mind blowing. I loved the fact that the movie is in 3D. The 3D is totally worth it. This film had me on the edge of my seat throughout. Unless you have read the books, you really can't predict what's going to happen next. Shailene Woodley is excellent as Tris. Woodley portrays Tris' inner struggle with her emotions, flawlessly. Theo James is great as Four. Ansel Elgort is super as Caleb. Miles Teller is outstanding as Peter. I really wish Teller's character was given more screen time. Zoe Kravitz is impressive as Christina. Octavia Spencer is good as Johanna. Daniel Dae Kim is awesome as Jack Kang. Naomi Watts' talent is wasted in her miniature role as Evelyn. Mekhi Phifer is effective as Max. Jai Courtney is menacing as Eric. Kate Winslet is irresistibly evil as the antagonist, Jeanine. The supporting characters are awesome as well. Insurgent is a must watch for fans of Divergent. Can't wait for Allegiant Part 1 & Part 2.
