*cries in old guard fan and netflix sitting on the sequel while releasing stuff that was outdated 15 years ago*

Netflix really was waaaay behind the curve on this one. It's like they wanted to do a YA dystopian, but missed out on buying rights and had to wait for something popular yeeeeears ago to come back on the market and ended up with this. Could have been worse, though, we could have gotten like Matched or something.

It wasn't bad but it wasn't good either
it only works s a streaming movie and would never do well in theater
But anyone saying divergent was better is lying to themselves

While I have only watched the Divergent films ONCE....I feel like from my foggy memory Divergent at least set up the world much better.

i saw it yesterday and just sat here side eyeing joey king of all people whining about being ugly for the duration of the movie

netflix burn your money on at good content at least

I was on reddit and was reading reviews and someone said "in what universe is joey king considered attractive?". It was written as straight fact. So rude. o_o

what a week, now they're doing cosmetic operations on illegal uglies in dystopia

they could have just hired me

i'm available

wait i have another thought. there's this whole french concept called jolie laide, where the "flaw" makes a person even more beautiful. there are thousands of models who are unconventionally attractive in some way. they couldn't have tracked down a half dozen of them? or simply find some people who are beautiful but not conventionally beautiful based on narrow eurocentric standards? i feel like that would have made the concept of this show much more meaningful. surely some of them are as talented as the young people in this movie who might not even be very good based on the trailer for this mishegas.
