Allegiant [DVD] [2016]

While not true to the books it is most enjoyable. The teen focus is relevant as most cinema attendees are teens and young people (not me by the way). The characters in the books are 'teens' which I'm glad to say has been kept in. All the cast played their roles well and I look forward to seeing the younger members of this cast mature with more challenging roles in their future careers. As with all movies don't expect it to be the same as the books as there have to be some compromises to make a watchable film that appeal to a wider audience. Nobody makes films to make a loss so if you want big budget movies etc then it has to appeal to wider audience which this does. Small things for instance, in the books, it is explained how the factions actually behave very clearly which is hard to convey in a movie without narrative and therefore offers very little insight into the relationships. It is slightly formulaic that would be true to say about most films and most books. However, enough twists and turns, special effects, action etc. Take it for what it is as it is worth watching. I don't think it is a bad thing that the series is different from the books and am hoping for an unexpected conclusion in the fourth movie which I'll definitely be watching. Hopefully they won't chop the budget and cheapskate on Ascendants.

I absolutely love this series! Shailene Woodley is amazing. I am absolutely gutted to hear Ascendant won't be happening. Liongate wants to make the next movie a TV movie due to poor ratings for Allegiant, which Shailene has opted out of!We, the fans are like Chicago, and Liongate are like the Bureau, we have to group together and send them a message!! Let's fight to the end and make this happen, it's what Tris would have wanted!I realised I may have turned into a bit of a geek but this series is my life now, it pains me to know the release of Ascendant was so close, yet so far away.I feel like I'm Hazel in TFIOS when she needs to know the ending of her favourite book. I need to know how this finishes.Erm review wise I thought the film was brilliant but that was mostly due to Shailene. I think I may have developed a strong affection towards her over these last few films.This is getting cringey now, I'll stop.

Third film in the 'Divergent' series, which adapts the popular young adult science fiction trilogy of novels.This is not really a good jumping on point. But if you're reading this, then you're doubtless familiar with the books or the previous films, so that won't be a problem.The film is an adaptation of 'Allegiant' the third novel in the series.Picking up from where the second film left off, with major change coming to Chicago, it's a new era there under a new regime. Who will first deal with the remnants of the old. Tris, meantime, is desperate to find out what lies beyond the city wall. Her expedition out there finds a strange new world. And a whole new threat..This covers the plot of the book. But with there being a fourth film still to come, let's just say that it doesn't end quite the way the book did. Prior to that, it's not desperately faithful to the novel. Taking the same ideas and setting and going it's own way with them. But, although purists may blanch, that really doesn't matter. Because as a movie, this really works well very well indeed.It's fast paced. It's involving. It has good action sequences and strong moral dilemmas for the characters to face. The latter also gives the audience some good food for thought, as in addition to what is going on outside the city, those inside have dilemmas to face as well. Which leads you to consider what you would do in the same situation.The leads are all well grown into their roles by now and carry the film effortlessly. Miles Teller does steal the show as Peter. Making an unsympathetic character compelling to watch. And the ending will leave you wanting to see what will happen next.A good roller coaster ride of a movie. If you're prepared to give it a chance, then it's a good watch.The dvd has the following language and subtitle options:Languages: English.Subtitles: English.The first disc in this edition - the two disc limited edition. Remember those? - has a few trailers at the start, but those can be skipped via the next button on the dvd remote.Extras on it are: a commentary from two of the producers.Two featurettes: Allegiant: Book to film. This runs for five minutes and whilst brief, is an interesting look at how the adaptation was done.Battle in the Bullfrog. This runs for three minutes and shows the making of a fight sequence. It's a good watch.On the second disc there are four featurettes:Into the fringe. Ten minutes about the production design of the world beyond the city.The escape over the wall. Ten minutes about the filming of a key sequence early in the film.Unlocking a new look. Seven minutes about the costume designs for the film.Composing Allegiant. Four minutes about the writing of the score for the movie.All are interesting and involving viewing, although the first two, by virtue of being ten minutes making them feel just the right length, are the best.

Liked the whole film

Good

I thought the film was good. It basically just finalizes what we all knew would happen.Not the best film going, but worth a watch.

the battle continues as tris and four leada team of rebels to escape over the city wall into a strange desolate world where children are taken by another faction,a more dangerouse threat awaits as they are split up tris treated like a princess and four in the lower ranks,telling you no more.if i like it you know its good i tell things how they are and this is a fantastic third of the four films to come out.get it people.HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Love this from the 90s and a friend braught it up in a conversation the other day, had to get it 🤣

The third film in the Divergent film series, based on the books by Veronica Roth. The Divergent Series: Allegiant continues the story that began in Divergent and Insurgent. Following Jeanine's defeat at the end of Insurgent, the people of Chicago were ready to head out into the world beyond the wall after discovering a message from the Founders, but Evelyn (Naomi Watts) has other ideas and once again seals the wall and attempts to take over by force becoming yet another dictator. This causes a divide inside Chicago as the forces loyal to Evelyn begin a series of mock trials executing many of the people of Abnegation while those opposed follow the people of Amity led by Octavia Spencer.Our main characters Tris (Shailene Woodley) and Four (Theo James) rescue Tris's brother from the mock trials and head over the wall along with several others and soon discover the Bureau (ledy by Jeff Daniels) who hope to use Tris in finding a way of curing the imperfect (most of the people of Chicago) but in their pursuit of a cure they have neglected Chicago allowing it to run amok.The film continues the great story and action seen in the first two Divergent films and the same great cast returns (Shailene Woodley, Theo James, Ansel Elgort, Miles Teller, Zoe Kravitz, Maggie Q, Naomi Watts, Ray Stevenson, Octavia Spencer and Daniel Dae Kim) along with newcomers (Jeff Daniels, Xander Berkeley, Bill Skarsgard).The film ends with a cliffhanger which is to be concluded in a 4th film which may end up being a special TV movie if Lionsgate gets their way rather than releasing the final film in theaters as originally planned. This film was much better than people have given it credit for and it was the poor turn out in theaters for this third installment that is resulting in Lionsgate changing their intitial plans. Give this one a chance on home video and show Lionsgate that we do want to see the final installment.Great special effects and post-apocalyptic environments are on view in this installment. A great third film for the franchise.

The plot was fantastic

Celui-ci est juste en anglais. Mais tel que décrit

This movie is the best of all 3 in the Divergent Series! The film starts out with the trials of some of the people who served Janine. One of which gets executed. Evelyn has taken over as the leader. Four is able to free Caleb and save him from punishment out of respect for Tris. Tris and Four and a few others are able to escape over the wall. Tori is shot down by Edgar while attempting to escape. The rest of the group make it over the wall safely and are rescued by the bureau. Meanwhile, Chicago is at war. David, the leader of the bureau, thanks Tris for opening the Box since she is the only "Pure" Divergent. David was attempting a plan to cure all of the "Damaged" people for centuries and had only succeeded at creating 1 "Pure" human being, Tris, in all of history. Over time, Tris starts to really trust David. Four decides to go visit The Fringe where he uncovers David's real hidden agenda. David keeps Tris and Four separated on purpose as a result because Four warns Tris that David can't be trusted. Tris doesn't listen to Four regarding that, at first. Later on, Tris is able to understand the reason David shouldn't be trusted. David is secretly trying to help Evelyn destroy Chicago's citizens by contaminating them with tear gas that can wipe the memories of anyone who comes into contact with it. Evelyn starts to release the tear gas but Tris is able to stop it's release at the last minute, thereby, saving the entire city. The film ends with Tris and Four giving each other a big hug without realizing that David is also watching from the background. Very entertaining Movie. Get this movie and see for yourself. It's the best! I can't wait for the 4th film "Ascendent". 5 stars from me.

I watched this again last night and was pleased with the movie. Thank God I am not one of those people that goes to a movie hoping it will be just like the book and then disappointed. I noticed that there was no Veronica Roth in the extra features and was wondering what her take is on the movie.My daughter thought the movie series was done, but I had to prove to her that there is another movie in the works. I'm getting tired of getting two movies where there was only one book. I was with my daughter on this one though. If I didn't see another movie, it ended well enough to end the series.I will probably not go see the last movie in the theater and just order the blu-ray so as to complete the series; although, I did enjoy this movie. The acting was first rate. Jeff Daniels as a David was wonderful. He was a benevolent character that you will love to hate. Naomi Watts is wonderful as someone that you don't like just because of her abandonment of her child to a monster. Theo James is getting more liquid and less stiff (I could truly see him as a bond character), and Shailene Woodley is improving also; however, I think she is a wonderful actress as is proven in "The fault in our Stars".I don't think I'll ever be able to watch another movie that Miles Teller is in and not dislike him just because he is so good at his character in these movies. He is a character that you just don't like from beginning to end. While Ansel Elgort is fabulous as a brother Tris can't trust and doesn't like. She loves him on principle, but doesn't really like him. Amazing Dichotomy.This is another Urban apocalypse series, but I like it. It is another in a line of movies that are a guilty pleasure to watch.
