The Divergent Series: Allegiant (2016)
TOMATOMETER
AUDIENCE SCORE
Critic Consensus: Allegiant improves on previous entries in The Divergent Series on a few superficial levels, but they aren't enough to counteract a sense of growing boredom with a franchise that's gone on too long.

By this point, none of the pieces fits and absolutely nothing makes any sense.
A nightmarish landscape that's meant to be frightening - or at least unsettling - ends up being hilariously cheesy instead.
Allegiant exemplifies what happens when a book or movie exists solely for the purposes of placating fans and maintaining a revenue stream.
These movies were never going to transform cinema, but watching Allegiant, it's hard not to feel as if someone has pulled the rug out from under an otherwise modestly entertaining franchise.
Allegiant aches to be a thought-provoking, moving allegory of the current world. Instead, it's an unwieldy two hours too unintentionally silly to validate how seriously it takes itself.
Divergent feels like a hasty idea scribbled on construction paper, crumpled into a ball, and ditched in a mud puddle. Even it can't tell what it wanted to say.
Audience Reviews for The Divergent Series: Allegiant
The Divergent series is brought to a close with the suspenseful sci-fi thriller Allegiant. As Chicago breaks down into mob rule Tris and Four escape to the wasteland outside of the city and find a hi-tech community that's trying to rebuild society; but Four soon uncovers a dark side to what they're doing. Jeff Daniels joins the cast and delivers an incredibly strong performance. And the special effects are extraordinarily good, creating some really inventive future tech. However, the plot is rather thin and kind of skims over a number of the events from the book. Also, most of the characters are underdeveloped. Still, while it comes off as a bit rushed and formulaic, Allegiant is entertaining and action-packed.
Super Reviewer
Theo James is still dreamy yet deadly, Miles Teller is still inexplicably douchey, and Shailene Woodley is still running the gun show, but her steel-eyed resolve only lasts through the first half of the movie. The second half sees Tris as this brainwashed diplomat of sorts manipulated by the system, and she barely gets to emote or say anything or even look remotely cool piloting a stolen pod or not look like a total n00b while wielding new drone gadgetry. Methought the movie ended abruptly with a nonsensical cliffhanger, but come to find out, the Divergent series has jumped on the YA film franchise L-train of splitting the final book into two films, thus ensuring cashflow but also long, dragged out plot points.
Super Reviewer
While this is a slight improvement over the last film, it still doesn't have the originality of the first. This is the type of film series (and probably book series) that had a cool premise for the first installment but then just kept going after the steering wheel was ripped off. The story seems like it is going somewhere but no one (that hasn't read the books) knows, or as the box office indicates, really cares. Many "plot twists" you really could see coming from a mile away which made the viewing experience even worse. With as many special effects that they put into this one, in order to even break even on the next one, they are going to have to pull the CGI WAAAAY back.
