Teenagers across America only have one choice. Whether under peer pressure or their own free will, they need to see Divergent.

The latest box office hit first began as young adult novel by Veronica Roth. Similar to Suzanne Collins’ Hunger Games trilogy, Divergent features a strong, female protagonist struggling in a dystopian society. However, this story takes a different twist on the popular genre.

The movie opens with a desolate panoramic of Chicago, a future ruled by five factions. In this day and age, teenagers must choose to join one faction. They can either be selfless in Abnegation, kind in Amity, honest in Candor, fearless in Dauntless, or intelligent in Erudite.

Audiences first meet the main character, Beatrice Pryor, as she prepares herself for the biggest test offered by her society- even bigger than today’s ACT and SAT. This test is meant to determine which faction she will join. However, it only confirms her greatest fear.

Pryor does not belong to a single faction. Instead, her results rendered inconclusive.

From that moment forward, Pryor must face life as a divergent.

She chooses to leave her old faction behind for a new life in Dauntless. The silver screen did this scene justice with the careful attention paid to every detail. The costumes matched the descriptions in the novel right down to the very stitch. The set brought the choosing ceremony to life, but the actors allowed audience members to experience it themselves.

And while Shailene Woodley struggled with conveying Pryor’s emotions throughout the film, she impressed audiences in the later scenes. After suffering many tragic losses, Woodley makes these scenes believable with raw emotion. While many Divergent fans doubted that Woodley would fit Pryor’s role, she delivered an exceptional performance.

Woodley was not the only actress to charm fans. In fact, many previously unknown actors and actresses are now on the map. Theo James, the actor who plays Beatrice’s love interest in the film, is now the heart throb for teenage girls across the nation.

While teenage girls may love James, the relationship between his character, Four, and Beatrice was unconvincing. The novel developed these scenes with expert finesse, but the movie rushed many critical scenes between the two. One moment Four played an antagonist, and the next he became Beatrice’s love interest. The development of their relationship was simply unauthentic.

Despite its faults, Divergent is a must-see film for fans of the novel or for those new to the trilogy. One choice transformed Beatrice, and the choice to buy tickets can transform your weekend.
