ONE CHOICE CAN DESTROY YOU.
Tris and Four (Shailene Woodley, Theo James) are on the run from Jeanine Mathews (Kate Winslet), while she is trying to find a Divergent with powers strong enough to open a mysterious box. A new director and writers make sure that this sequel to Divergent (2014) has more action and moves faster, but it still gets bogged down after a snappy first hour with a series of simulations that get repetitious. However, interesting themes of courage and cowardice, and the film takes great advantage of its 3D effects in a few well designed action sequences. Woodley is still a compelling lead.
