The Divergent Series: Allegiant

Review by David Jenkins @daveyjenkins

Directed by

Robert Schwentke

Starring

Shailene Woodley Theo James Zoë Kravitz

Anticipation.

Did we really need another film in this already underwhelming series?

Enjoyment.

Having zero creative ambition yields exactly the results you would expect.

In Retrospect.

This series can’t be over soon enough.

Shailene Woodley appears bemused and bored by this crushingly lacklustre science fiction franchise.

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2

By Sophie Monks Kaufman

The final roll of the dice for Katniss and crew sadly doesn’t match previous instalments.
