If you enjoyed the dystopian glamour of “The Hunger Games” trilogy, then you may want to add “Divergent” to your list of must-sees. Neil Burger’s adaptation of Veronica Roth’s best-selling young adult novel is one that will keep you entertained from start to finish.

Don’t worry if you haven’t read the book; the first five minutes of the movie provide ample background about the faction-dominated society that Shailene Woodley, as Tris, was born into. Each of the five factions represent a character trait vital to the continued success of the society.

When one reaches the age of sixteen he or she is given the choice to either remain a member of the faction they were born into or choose an entirely different one. Before choosing, each is administered a simulation that will gauge which faction he or she is best suited for. If the test results are inconclusive, the individual is labeled the film’s namesake – divergent.

To be divergent means you are a free-thinker, incapable of conformity. According to Jeanine Matthews, played by Kate Winslet, divergent minds undermine the faction system and pose a serious threat to society.

The relationships forged between the different characters play out as one would expect, but the futuristic and rather post-apocalyptic society is what’s most refreshing. After being exposed to all five of the factions, it is assumed that most identify themselves as divergent. It is 2014, and being a free-thinker is ironically part of the status-quo.
