Divergent is a sci fi/fantasy type movie that is set in a futuristic dystopic society where all the population of the world is divided into five factions that each represent different virtues. Teens who reach the requisite age have to decide if they want to stay in their given faction or switch to another, new faction, and either way that will be their faction for the rest of their lives. Beatrice (Tris) Prior and her fellow faction members have to live through various challenges in a highly competitive and dangerous initiation process to get the permission to live out the choice they have made. These tests include extreme physical and intense psychological challenges which affect them all profoundly.
Beatrice's deadly secret is that she is "divergent", meaning she does not fit into any one particular faction alone. If the wrong people find out this terrible secret she will be sentenced to death immediately. As she discovers a growing conspiracy that threatens to unravel the entire world, this secret might come in handy to help her save the people she loves, or on the other hand it could destroy the entire world. Now when i heard about this move, i thought it was a Hunger Games ripoff, but i read some of the book and enjoyed it, so i got excited. I went to go see it and it was actually good, i would recommend people go see it.
