ONE CHOICE CAN TRANSFORM YOU. 

After a war, Chicago has been walled off and its citizens divided into five factions; teenager Beatrice Prior (Shailene Woodley) chooses which one to belong to and discovers a conspiracy. A dystopian sci-fi adventure targeted at teen girls with a strong female character fighting an authoritarian leader – it’s impossible not to draw comparisons to The Hunger Games, and this one falls short because of its underdeveloped story and leaden pacing. Woodley is good though, and a few scenes stand out, such as a nightly zip-line ride through a post-apocalyptic Chicago.
