INSURGENT REVIEW

LADIES AND GENTLEMAN... THE BEST/ WORST MOVIE OF THE YEAR IS HERE! "Insurgent,"  is so bad, it's good. I went with my friend Devin and I gotta say the best part was the empty theater.  We put on our Mystery Science Theater 3000 hats and were able to comment and talk through most of it. It made us realize how bad it was and how good it was in being bad. And the story... oh lord it was a whole pile of crazy. Here we go.

Now I haven't seen the first movie, but thats because it looked like to me a typical  teen age crap film.  As I understand it Divergeent tells the tale of Tris who must choose a faction to live in. Because she could be placed in many factions, she is considered a Divergent. She goes through many trials and fights many people. Because in post apocalyptic Chicago nothing is as it seems. Insurgent takes place right after Divergent. And while loads of critics said it was ok, I decided to skip it. But Insurgent made me think I should try out the story and see what it was like.

Insurgent is far as I can tell is basically about how Tris (Shalene Woodley) and her friends must stop the evil Janine(Played by Kate Winslet.) from destroying all the factions. And... thats basically it. Because there is no real drama in it, all the dialogue sounds really cheesy. Woodley and Miles Teller do their best to make the lines sound real, but they are fighting against the tide. Winslet, and Ray Stevenson as Marcus comepletely over act, and are wasted. Stevenson, so good in, "King Arthur," and the HBO series "Rome," is lost in an implausible story and Winslet is trying hard to get her Meryl Streep on, but she just can't be this bad. Theo James is ok, but its' clear he's just eye candy for the theater goers. The absolute worst actors in it are Jai Courtenay and Ansel Elgort, who are wooden in some scenes, and over the top in others. Like no one gave them any direction at all.
Elgort looks bored. Really Bored.

However, there were some things that were ok. The cinematopgraphy and action scenes were pretty good. And so for that, I can say i was entertained. But really as I said, only in that, "So bad its good," kind of way.

THE VERDICT
Detergent, ohh I mean "Insurgent," is badly entertaining. But because I have to rate it like I would rate other films,  "Insurgent," gets a D+.
