Thoughts:
One of my favorite series is starting to finally wrap up, and after Insurgent my more confused moments in YA Movies hit me. Most of you will remember, I wasn't sure how Allegiant was going to head, where it was going to go, Insurgent just sort of finished the series, and I could see a lot of people thinking it was the end. So when this hit I was altogether more curious about the direction and where the movie was headed. I am in shock again, it looks great. I am thrilled to see they are going back and the character David, being played by Jeff Daniels seems so grand. I honestly cannot wait.The world outside the fence isn't at all what I thought it would be, I am a little nervous that the destroyed earth will look more like Mars than some post-apocalyptic, nuclear fallout world that everything is in. It has me on edge and some of the CGI looks a bit cheesy, but I am withholding judgement until time comes. The costuming in this movie actually seems interesting, I am not sure if anyone noticed the getup of the outsiders and how they dress. It's got this grunge and trench warfare like. Also if you look at Tris, she seems to be more dolled up than usual, it's like they are trying to pull a mockingjay on us.
The other question I have is, does the war between Marcus and Johanna that takes place in the book, does it seem to anyone else this is just getting ignored completely? I mean, in the book it put a timetable on Four and Tris and what they needed to get done. If it is getting ignored, I am hoping we'll get more insight into Four than what the books provided. I just want some sort of tradeoff for the cut.
