Divergent, the first movie

I remember where I was the first time I heard about Divergent (the movie). Or maybe it was the second time? Anyways, I was in a bookstore with some friends. I didn't buy any books, I'm more of a movie person than a book person, but my friends did. I don't really read books, but I do, do some reading on blogs and other online reading. I saw a large poster that said Divergent on it. Generally on my horror movie blog, I post pictures of posters of the movie I'm posting about. I don't think I had mentioned that on this blog, so I just wanted to put that out there.

A poster for Divergent.

This movie I actually watched for the first time off of a paid
channel at home, rather than in the theaters. There are some movies that I watch, that I notice have actors or actresses from movies I have previously watched. Divergent wasn't one of them. I don't think I recognized anyone from anything else.
As far as the plot is concerned, I think it was great, I certainly wanted to see the second one. I'm glad that Tris started off living with the Abnegation and then moved over to Dauntless so that it gave me a taste of what multiple of the factions were like early on. There are some trilogies that have "an end" after each movie, while others sort of merge into one giant movie. The difference basically being the difference between the end of each Star Wars movie, and each Lord of the Rings movie. At any rate, I was noting that Divergent had an actually ending to it, when they defeated Jeanine Matthews of Erudite and removed the control she had over all of those people. Throughout the movie there were several scenes that were in people's head, or weren't entirely real. I like things like that in a movie. Below, I posted a picture that shows the 5 factions and their corresponding symbols since I mention them a few time I felt it would be good to be able to reference. I almost had the picture small, but I didn't thing some of the smaller print was entirely legible so I made it bigger.

I decide this picture was good reminder of which factions were which.

Right now I actually have the first the three on DVD. I don't have the last one since it hasn't come out yet. Later I'll probably do a post on at least one more of the movies.
