There was a lot to get through in the first installment in the franchise – the ham-fisted presentation of a boring universe; the schmaltzy love story; the dumb soundtrack – so luckily this second one is enjoyable:. Bigger, tougher and more fun, the sequel leaves behind the ludicrous folklore of the first episode, taking off with a heroine that is more interesting in her role as emerging warrior, a new antagonist at the head of the revolt, the arrival of Naomi Watts to somewhat legitimize the enterprise, and thankfully the mushy love story is relegated to the background. A daring scenario that takes on the issue of disintegration (of the world, orientation, individuality, and Tris’ personality) across a variety of very spectacular set-ups. Despite its clumsy twist reminiscent of The Maze Runner, Divergent 2: Insurrection reaches the level of the very good Hunger Games: less intense than Catching Fire but more balanced than Mockingjay Part 1.
