Tris Prior lives in a futuristic world in which society is divided into five factions. As each person enters adulthood, he or she must choose a faction and commit to it for life. Tris chooses Dauntless -- those who pursue bravery above all else. However, her initiation leads to the discovery that she is a Divergent and will never be able to fit into just one faction. Warned that she must conceal her status, Tris uncovers a looming war which threatens everyone she loves.

Critics Consensus

With an adherence to YA formula that undercuts its individualistic message, Divergent opens its planned trilogy in disappointingly predictable fashion.

The film is more interesting than the average bad movie precisely because it so gratuitously, and even thematically, fails to fit together.

This is a rite-of-passage film, with action, romance and self-realization woven in. But unlike some others of this genre, Divergent is thought-provoking teen sci-fi.

... Divergent, despite multiple claims otherwise, tries to capture the format of The Hunger Games but completely phones in almost each element.

Unfortunately, [director Neil Burger] succeeds despite the screenwriting by Vanessa Taylor and Evan Daugherty, and not because of it.

There have been far more compelling metaphors for the trials of adolescence.

This slick-looking, but shallow slice of sci-fi features a certain amount of Harry Potter-esque HufflePuff...

This has come out of left field but is this not the best teen dystopic film out there? It has a good plot, it’s well acted, the leads gave good chemistry. It is well designed, not over the top. I genuinely thought this was really impressive and enjoyable. Watched on DVD.
