The power team of Tris and Four are back and more powerful than ever, trying to figure out why Tris’s family risked everything they had and why the faction Erudites are doing everything they can to prevent that from happening.

Part two of the “Divergent” trilogy, “Insurgent,” begins in Amity. Amity is a dystopian place where four friends – Tris, Four, Caleb, and Peter – hide away until Erudite and Dauntless traitors arrive at Amity, searching for a Divergent to take on a special task that Jeanine has come up with. A fight breaks out between Tris and Peter regarding her family and it proves that they are truly not members of the Amity faction, therefore they can no longer hide out in the Amity grounds, which then puts them in danger.

Throughout the movie, Tris and Four do everything that they possibly can to stay away from harm in the environment until the traitors go through and personally scan everyone to see what faction they actually are. Tris knows that she is Divergent and does not want to be captured and be used as Jeanine’s experiment. Time passes and then Tris sees the harm that people are going through because they are only a small percentage of divergence.

Tris is recognized as 100% divergence which means she is the only person with the power to take on the task. After a while of waiting and hiding out Tris becomes fed up with watching all of these innocent people being killed off because they cannot open the box due to their lack of strength and power as a divergent. Tris then turns herself in to Jeanine and agrees to attempt on opening the secret box if the suicides stop.

This movie was rated PG-13 due to some of the action and mild violence.

The graphics in this movie were incredible. The fighting outside of the portal was obviously staged and viewers could tell that they were not really fighting, but when it came to being stuck with needles for special medication which made it impossible to lie, and taking on the tasks inside the portal, it was unbelievable. The images and the scenes were perfectly put together and it was so believable that viewers will feel like they were emotionally and physically there. One task is to save her mother from a burning house, which was really emotional because you felt how much Tris cared and misses her mom.

Overall, the movie was put together really well and the ending was perfectly set up for another movie to be made.

“Insurgent” had many of the same actors as “Divergent.” Shailene Woodley plays Tris Prior in both “Divergent” and “Insurgent.” She played Hazel Grace from “The Fault in our Stars,” and was Amy Juergens in “The Secret life of the American Teenager.” Ansel Elgort plays Caleb Prior in “Insurgent,” as Tris’s brother. Ansel stars in “The Fault in our Stars,” with Shailene as well, and is also in the horror film “Carrie.”

Theo James plays Four (Tobias Eaton ) in the “Divergent” trilogy and also appears in other films such as “The Domino Effect” and “The Inbetweeners.”

This is a movie worth seeing, and even though it is completely fictional, viewers can still learn a lot from the story line.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
