Not cool at all. Superficially and boring, dialogues are not interesting, cliches everywhere. Very few actions scenes and there are also look boring. Not recommended at all. Really better spend time on something not as useless that this movie.

Insurgent never really gets off the ground for me, perhaps I should have read the books like I did for the Hunger Games. I guess at the very end Insurgent redeems itself somewhat, and will probably suck me into going to see the nextInsurgent never really gets off the ground for me, perhaps I should have read the books like I did for the Hunger Games. I guess at the very end Insurgent redeems itself somewhat, and will probably suck me into going to see the next installment, but believe me up till then it was very slow going! I could tell I wasn't the only one in the theatre that was fidgety either. If your expecting the level of entertainment that you do in the Hunger Game series, then you would be sadly mistaken. The special effects are good, but the story and acting was severly lacking. I would suggest holding off-save your money and rent it if you have to watch it. Spend your money wisely and go see something else currently playing.… Expand

Thought it could be better. I have read the books and I know that they can not put everything in but I thought there could have been more. The first movie was way better!

Divergent - the first book - was interesting but the first movie was even better, way better if you ask me. They managed to cast great actors and make a realistic futuristic movie. Despite having a different director Insurgent looks familiarDivergent - the first book - was interesting but the first movie was even better, way better if you ask me. They managed to cast great actors and make a realistic futuristic movie. Despite having a different director Insurgent looks familiar I easily slipped back into a world I was already familiar with. The movie is visually impressive, even though it looks a bit too CGI-ish for my taste, making the film not as grounded as Divergent was so at times it feels like watching a video game or an animated version of it.

The acting is OK, I mean it's a good cast so what they bring to the table fits the story and the emotional journey these characters have been through. But - because of course there is one - Theo James' (Four) age is seriously starting to show. I know he's only 30 - and Teller is 28 - but in the first movie it didn't seem as weird that he's with Tris (Woodley) but next to 46 years old Naomi Watts, who looks 35, maybe forty, it's really weird. They look like brothers and sisters at best, they could have aged Watts or cast someone else completely because how young was she when she had him? 12?
It will be even weirder to see her playing opposite Ray Stevenson (Marcus Eaton) - Four’s dad - who'll look like a dirty old man next to her, which is probably why we’ll see very little of that.

I wish these aspects of the film were the only ones I had a problem with but on top of all of that Insurgent lacks rhythm. It's missing the slow, intense build up in which the tension and the action grows to an entertaining climax but it never doesn't. Don’t get me wrong it is action-packed, a rich adventure of a film but whenever the tension builds up it quickly dies down to go back up again at some point and that's how it is throughout the movie. It comes and goes in waves but never rides on the high the previous action scenes gave you.

Although, it's faithful to the book Insurgent was a bit of a disappointment I expected better. It’s only slightly more entertaining than the book, they could have done better. @wornoutspines… Expand

"The repetitive of science fiction movie that comes from best selling novel "

Here we go again , having another science fiction movie that based from the best selling novel just like The Hunger Games and Maze Runner. Honestly i don't"The repetitive of science fiction movie that comes from best selling novel "

Here we go again , having another science fiction movie that based from the best selling novel just like The Hunger Games and Maze Runner.

Honestly i don't know what to expected from Insurgent and that's from a lot of reason , first off the Divergent ( 2013 ) movie last year is not exactly a good movie i mean it's not bad but it's not good or memorable either , second is the director which now is Robert Schwentke personally i really like his RED ( 2010 ) movie but i'm also really really hate R.I.P.D ( 2013 ) i mean i don't even know why Lionsgate decided to choose him , since his latest movie is really terrible.

Insurgent is a movie that has a lot of problem for sure but there's three positive thing about this movie that i have to say.

first is the CG of this movie is pretty good , second is Shailene Woodley is still giving us a great performance and the last one is director Robert Schwentke himself looking pretty okay with his directing.

But in the end Insurgent has too much problem that just drag this movie down a lot and that problem is the screenplay which is terrible.

I understand the reason they have to change stuff from books to movie but this screenplay is really really bad , first off the movie is really over the top i mean our main character is basically she can jump slide smash thick glass without putting much effort and that's making the movie kind of a meaning less because the main character can do pretty much anything she wants without much of a problem.

the second problem and probably the biggest , is the repetitive of the plot and screenplay especially if you watch this science fiction movie lately like The Hunger Games or Maze Runner ( 2014 ) you can pretty much guest everything about this movie especially the ending which is really really predictable and it's not even that smart either.

I mean i don't even sure that the Insurgent movie problem because this problem is a lot about these science fiction movies that came from novel , it is just so similar in a lot of ways that just makes me kind a boring about these type of movie and i don't think Hollywood will stop this train soon (especially the next movie of Divergent series is separate into two parts) so we will have to hope for a better science fiction that based from best selling novel movie.

To be fair Insurgent is not a bad movie but it's just so repetitive so predictable and the characters is too powerful that just make everything in the movie meaningless .… Expand

If you liked the first movie divergent, then you'll definitely like insurgent. It's loaded with action, and special effects are mind blowing. Some glitches here and there, but nothing major.Really enjoyed the ride, and was not disappointed.
