The second film in the Divergent series, Insurgent, was reminiscent of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire released two years earlier. The third episode, Allegiant, could easily have been the title of Katniss’ third adventure, Mockingjay Part 1. Also adapted from a series’ last book that was split into two films, Divergente 3 thus continues the adventures of post-teen rebels faced with thoughtless and dangerous adults, seeded with political commentary (now well-known) on freedom, social determinism and identity. Without ever really bothering to go beyond the genre’s specifications, director Robert Schwentke (who also directed Insurgent*) packs the movie with enough power to captivate and entertain, stuffing as much information into it so as not to miss half of the plot – as was the case in the penultimate Hunger Games. This is certainly not enough to make a really good movie, but it does manage to entertain and bring the audience closer to the brink of the oncoming catastrophe.
