Description: In “The Divergent Series: Allegiant,” Tris Prior gazes beyond the wall surrounding Chicago, reflecting on a time when the unknown seemed more exciting. The film, based on Veronica Roth’s young adult sci-fi series, takes an unexpected turn as it shifts from its original premise. Initially centered around a society divided into character-based factions, the story evolves into a convoluted anti-eugenics parable. This shift has left fans divided, especially with the series’ declining box office performance since its first installment.
The movie adapts the first half of Roth’s third book, diverging from both the source material and the previous film’s ending. Despite a dramatic conclusion in the prior chapter, “Allegiant” begins with the wall still intact, isolating Chicago from the outside world. Evelyn, leader of the factionless, enforces this separation, while a small group of characters manages to cross the barrier. As the story unfolds, audiences are left to question whether the franchise can regain its momentum before its next installment.
