Last week I finally got to see the movie "Divergent", and I must say that I really loved it. The movie was SO much better than I thought it would be. I had not read the books, so I only knew what I had learned from the trailers.
The movie trailers drew me in, but in the beginning I kind of thought that it was too much like "Hunger Games", but after I saw the movie I can finally say that they are nothing alike. Yes, the "population" is divided kind of like in The Hunger Games, but I would say that the similarities stops there.
We follow Tris (a Divergent) who - when she is 16 years old - are to choose which faction she want to live for the rest of her life. She chooses Dauntless, and meet Four, who she falls in love with and together they are going to war together.
The movie is breathtaking with funny lines and a lot of highly anticipated romance. Will they be together or not.
The cast is also really amazing and they fit together so perfectly in the movie, and there is nobody that I would say that do not fit in it, and that is always a big plus, when you watch a movie.
After I had seen the movie I decided to read the books, and I loved them too. There is definitely some thing I would change in the second and third book, but I understand Veronica Roth completely with how the books are turning out to be - whether you like the ending or not. I am not a big fan of the ending because I think there still is some unfinished business between Tris and Four - after my opinion - that I would like to have read, but she did a great job.
Next month is her release of the books from Four's point of view. I have read the transfer and the knife scene and both of those are great - I MIGHT even say that they are just a tine bit better than the original Divergent series, but that is probably because I love reading books from the guy's point of view, because every book you can read - nearly everyone - is from the girls point of view, so it is great to read it from the other side sometimes.
This is definitely a movie AND books that I would highly recommend you to watch and read - especially if you loved the hunger games, the host and Twilight, since the romance etc. are pretty close to this story.
Good luck with it, while we are all waiting for "Insurgent" and last "Allegiant".
