Divergent



Born into a civilization in the distant future, Beatrice is a teenager who learns that her unique cognitive skills make her a Divergent.  Over time she discovers that Divergents are slated for elimination by the government.  The race is on to escape from those wishing to kill her.  Of course, there is a super stud of a guy who gets on her side.  The new crop of under forty movies such as this one and the Hunger Games are the new Westerns.  No more cowboys and Indians fighting to take the fort,  the new fort is the future.  The scenario is much the same--bad guys vs good guys and the fight to take over.   Like the Hunger Games Trilogy this too has two more sequels slated.  It is well done and I found myself rooting for the good guys.  I give it an 8.   You will learn to hate Kate Winslet in her bad guy role.   Stars Shailene Woodley, Kate Winslet, Theo James and Ashley Judd.
