Caution: This Might Contain Spoilers!

This film is based off the second book, same title, in the Divergent Trilogy written by Veronica Roth. It is also a sequel to the film Divergent. Tris (Beatrice) Prior is on the run from the Erudite and Dauntless factions after she is branded a traitor and a threat. However, she might be the tool for saving their corrupt society.
This film was directed by Robert Schwentke. I will be honest, much of this film hits the same marks that the first film did. The only difference is that the story is more involved, and offers an expansion on the established universe. There is also more emotional depth to this film, because the characters are dealing with the aftermath of their decisions. There are several moments, at least with one character in particular, where the story becomes convenience. Unfortunately, this film feels like a filler for a potential sequel until the end. The end manages to wrap things up nicely with an unexpected twist. Yes, there is a third part to be released. I did enjoy how the film introduced the rest of the world through its cinematography. The moments when she is trying to open the box are very visually unique. Many of the secondary characters did came off as one dimensional and unimportant. Shailene Woodley returns to her role as Tris (Beatrice) Prior. Her emotional performance gave this film its missing depth. Theo James returns to his role as Four. He was a great supporting actor for Woodley.
I give this film 3 out of 5 stars! It is a decent sequel, but it doesn't do much to make itself stand alone as a great film.
This film can be seen on DVD.
