As tedious as much of this sounds, an odd thing happened around “Allegiant’s” midway point. The fairly packed audience started vocally reacting “Rocky Horror”-style to some of the more overtly melodramatic turns with “oohs," “ahhs” and even laughter. Read full review

All of it feels warmed over, reprocessed … and, yes, confused. Read full review

Chicago TribuneMichael PhillipsMar 16, 2016
It's a pretty dull picture, I must say, because it's my duty to say it. And it's a pretty dull picture, I must say, because something about its particular grade of dullness may cause memory loss. Read full review

Everything is needlessly tangled and bewildering. Read full review

The Film StageMichael SnydelMar 18, 2016
Above all of the tiresome, poorly constructed mythology, nonexistent stakes, and presentation of subtext as text, Allegiant’s greatest sin is its total contempt for its viewers. Read full review

Austin ChronicleKimberley JonesMar 23, 2016
Three films into the ongoing Divergent series, one would hope we’d moved beyond laying plates and folding napkins to get to something more substantial. Yet Allegiant barely makes it to the appetizer course. Read full review

Village VoiceBilge EbiriMar 21, 2016
The actors still give it their all in Allegiant, but there's only so much they can do with such a clunky, verbose script. And on the rare occasion that the film actually quiets its characters down and delivers something resembling action, it's woefully inert. Read full review

A story that kicked off two years ago at a reasonable gallop has now slowed to barely a limp. Read full review

Rolling StonePeter TraversMar 18, 2016
If only their stuff had a spark of life it might be forgivable, but Allegiant plods along like a franchise on its last legs. Who remembers where we left off last time in Insurgent? My point exactly — no one. Read full review

The pleasures of Allegiant are unintended, those little bits of business taken so seriously that serious viewers must laugh. Read full review

Movie NationRoger MooreMar 16, 2016
This sort of movie really should be about more than meekly obvious names for human traits separated into tribes, the future tech, the dystopian landscape, the fashions, the hair styles...But there isn’t a line that lands, a scene that sticks with you, an emotion you feel or a moment this movie drags you to the edge of your seat.

By the time David gets someone to unleash the gas, I was wishing he could simply erase all memories of the sorry “Divergent’’ franchise. Read full review
