The sequel follows the characters from the first one, as they are now fugitives. They must fight the corrupt government which is hunting them down.
The last film had nothing particularly wrong with it, but it wasn't good enough to really enjoy either. The sequel is no better, in fact it's a little worse. This movie is even cheesier than the original. There were even a few times where it sprung some unintentional laughter from the audience. The strongest laughter came from an unnecessary PG-13 sex scene that seemed to come out of nowhere.
The plot is also getting sort of confusing with a plot revolving around a complicated device which I still don't fully understand. Maybe it was explained better in the books, but I'm still confused.
Anyway, this device creates a few scenes of the main character in a simulation. These sequences have a surreal feel, and sometimes feels like the Matrix. However, they also provide some of the cheesiest parts, and some at times pretentious symbolism, so I can't really call them the high point of this movie.
Overall, this is still a forgettable Hunger Games ripoff. It still feels generic at times, but it is also laughable with its writing at others. The Divergent series probably will not be remembered for very long after it finishes.
2.0 out of 5 stars
