Gooooooood day, you
worldly humans! It's that time again . . . group review time! Yay! Yay! We're
getting the band back together again! Yay!
Overall Review
(because we're too lazy to do the review in sections):
Kalee: I
think Allegiant was better than Insurgent, but not as good as Divergent.
(Slight spoiler but) Although the plot was confusing, I liked the part when the
Pures went out to the Fringe to steal the children. I found the scene to be
pretty powerful yet intriguing. What did you think?
JC: I thought (some of) the action scenes were
better in this movie than the others--Four is amazingamazingamazing--but the
storyline was kind of . . . super weird. The technology was really . . . super
weird. It was just super weird. And, yes, I do agree that Divergent was the
best movie of the series.
Kalee: It
was hard to keep up with the plot of the movie, because people kept on
betraying other people. I can't sum up the movie in my head without becoming
really confused. It didn't really feel like there was a lot of direction in the
movie.
JC: Everything was happening really quickly,
too. Tris and Four are supposed to have this big fight because of a difference
in opinion over this thing (sorry, I'm trying not to spoil) but it seems like
it took all of two seconds for them to form said opinions over said thing. And
it also seems like as soon as any conflict was brought up, it was solved
almost immediately.
Kalee: I
liked that they did fight though, because it added tension and drama. I also
liked Peter. He was funny, but he only cared for himself which kind of made him
more funny. The movie did a good job of fleshing out the world of the Pures and
the society seemed interesting.
JC: But I don't like it when they fight :(
Kalee: It
added more development to their relationship.
JC: Sad Four and Tris a happy me does not make.
But anyway--moving on, I thought that the characters kind of lost some of their
seriousness and overall unhappiness in this movie. They seemed a lot less
depressed, which is good, but it felt like an entirely different series. But
that might've just been me.
Kalee:
Tris was unproductive during the middle of the movie. She didn't do much to get
plot moving until the end.
JC: I will say that there were some surprising
moments. You can ask that lady that we were in the movie theater with. She
gasped really, really loudly towards the end, so it must've been quite
upsetting.
Kalee:
There were a lot of "twists" that made it hard for my brain to
comprehend. JC is talking about Christina so I thought I might mention her. She
didn't do anything really BIG. She was just THERE.
JC: True, true. But she's still cool because she
was cool in the books. Who cares about the movies, amiright? *goes for a high
five*
Kalee:
*emoji high five*
JC: I'm done here *drops mic*--all yours, Kalee.
Kalee: I
can't really tell where the next movie is going, but I hope the ending stays
true to the book. *lifts eye brows* This is completely unrelated, but I wanted
to mention something about popcorn at the movies. A small bag of popcorn costed
$6.50, but a kid's combo, which included (a lot of) popcorn, a small drink and
a snack of your choice, only costed $6.00. The pricing seemed odd, but kid's
combos are coolio.
JC: (she's just mad because she wanted the small
popcorn) Alright, folks, that's it! My rating: 7.5 out of 10 (being generous
here).
Kalee: I
would give it 8 out of 10. It wasn't that bad.
JC: 'Kay, bye, thanks for reading! Farewell, my
(our) friends!
