Divergent,” the latest outcast-teen-battles-The-System thriller, is similar enough to “The Hunger Games” that hardcore Katniss fans may dismiss it.But it’s a more streamlined film, with a love story with genuine heat and deaths with genuine pathos.

And director Neil Burger (“The Illusionist”, “Limitless”) inserts us into this world with a lack of fuss that the stiff, exposition-stuffed “Games” films have never managed.So let’s skip past any suggestions of novelist Veronica Roth knocking off the formula of Suzanne Collins’ wildly successful “Games” novels.(Download Divergent) Remember, one has “Katniss” for a heroine, the other “Tris.” World of difference.Tris Prior (Shailene Woodley) lives in a post-war future in the semi-ruined city of Chicago.
Fenced in against the devastated outside world in battered but still habitable wind-generator equipped skyscrapers, the El trains still run and society still functions thanks to “factions.”We have the Candor faction, famed for popping off without self-censoring, and Amity Faction, the earnest, workers and land-loving farmers. The Erudite, let by imperious Kate Winslet, are the scientific,(Download Divergent) smart class, and Dauntless is the reckless “soldier” faction of young fighters who dive off the El rather than waiting for it to stop.And then there is Abnegation, which, if you look it up, means “self-denial.” They are the self-sacrificing public servants.
Tris, or Beatrice, as her parents (Tony Goldwyn, Ashley Judd) know her, grew up in that class — redistributing food, governing by consensus, liberal. It’s an easy fit. Abnegations may “reject vanity” and wear drab clothes in shades of gray, but that doesn’t mean a girl can’t have makeup, lip gloss and high-lights,(Download Divergent) never a hair out of place.When teens hit a certain age, they go through “The Test” and are told where their strengths lie. And like a college kid declaring a major, there is a “Choosing Ceremony” where you cut your hand and with a drop of blood, declare your faction — for life.
Tris is confused; empathetic but fearless, smart but earthy. Her “Test” doesn’t take. The tester (Maggie Q) tells her she’s “Divergent,” and that the other factions fear Divergents. So Tris has a secret she keeps as she declares “Dauntless” and undertakes Darwinian training with the leather-jacketed jocks,(Download Divergent) learning to fight with guns, knives and her fists, learning to conquer her fears.Woodley is a wonderful, transparent actress who lets us see her thoughts, especially when it comes to the hunky stand-offish Dauntless lad (Theo James) who trains her. No, she doesn’t have any memorable lines. And yes, she seems too dainty and fragile to be up to this soldiering thing.
Especially when you compare her to the raw-boned and gangly Jennifer Lawrence of “Hunger Games.” But Woodley makes Tris vulnerable and cunning as she is given drugs that play tricks on her mind to test her.(Download Divergent) What novelist Roth was aiming for here was a parable about creating well-rounded, compassionate adults in a world where The System is literally inside your head. As science fiction, it’s no heavier than Stephenie Meyer’s “The Host,” or “Ender’s Game” or any of the other Young Adult fare in this genre — a world we recognize, sliced up into stark metaphors of social strata.
But “Hunger Games” fans shouldn’t feel superior in looking down on this sci-fi variation on a rebel teen theme. This latest franchise is not inferior. It’s pretty much the same “Games,” give or take a bow and arrow.(Download Divergent) And by not diverging from that simple formula for a Young Adult sci-fi hit, the author and filmmakers reveal the shallowness of both series.These are boom times for stupid YA novels that get armies of teenage girls — and grown women who are teenage girls at heart — to swarm theaters to see the awful movie versions. There’s no offense in making a bad movie out of a bad book, so it’s a can’t-lose proposition for studios.
The next contestant in So You Think You Can Out-Hunger the Twilight Games is Divergent, a dystopian sci-fi tale in which the world (which seems to consist solely of run-down Chicago) has been split into five different frats. Teenagers undergo placement tests, and then get to pledge their frat by stabbing themselves in the hand and dripping blood into a dish as they squint and wear looks that say,(Download Divergent) “Damn, I wish we had a sorting hat.”Legend has it that, among the masses of frat pledges, there are some whose tests say they–get ready for this–they don’t belong to any particular frat. Never mind that it doesn’t matter what the test says because pledges are allowed to choose any frat they want.
The secret police of Chicago seem to overlook this fact and are really mad that these test failures exist.Even worse, these people apparently can’t even get laid, judging by the special name they are given: “De Virgins.”The tragically undersexed heroine Tris (Shailene Woodley) is understandably freaked out when she tests as De Virgin, (Download Divergent)so she hides her test results and pledges into the craziest frat of all. That’s the one obsessed with forming grinning flash mobs, parkouring up stupidly tall buildings, BASE jumping, zip-lining and probably slammin’ a Dew whenever possible.
Every bit as brooding and misunderstood as Bellas and Katnisses worldwide, Tris undergoes the long, long process of enduring the frat’s hazing rituals until she is a full-grown member who can hide her De Virginity from the masses. She has the hots for Four (Theo James),(Download Divergent) who hangs around as an oft bare-chested pledge master who is fond of acting like a gentleman. And secretly crushing on girls while pretending he’s not into them. As well as watching girls as they sleep.This slow-moving film waits until the last 15 minutes to get around to its plot, and nearly that long to meander around to the inevitable Tris-Four kiss.

Making the wait mildly entertaining are some spectacular special effects, decent fight scenes, and an awesome sequence of Ashley Judd (as Tris’s mom) running around like a dude from Contra capping everyone.(Watch Divergent Online HQ) There are points where you think the movie has gotten all the awfulness out of its system and is about to take a turn for the better, but those hopes vanish like Malaysian planes.Director Neil Burger–having built an impressive reputation off of The Illusionist and Limitless–sullies his good name with this dull, stodgy mess.
The worst news is that Divergent,(Watch Movies Online Without Downloading) like all awful YA sagas, is only the first segment of a trilogy, the last part of which will inevitably be split into two doubly long, doubly-awful movies. Hopefully, Burger has the good sense to bail before he does any further damage.
