Our impressions and movie review:
“Insurgent is an AMAZING movie! Screen writers Brian Duffield, Akiva Goldsman, Mark Bomback did a great job, based of course in the best seller book Insurgent by Veronica Roth. Robert Schwentke succeeds Neil Burger in directing, and he does so pretty good. He will direct “Allegiant”, the movie based on the third book of the “Divergent” trilogy.
Shailene Woodley is very good in her role and Theo James is perfect. His performance and his reaction while under the Truth serum, the test for all Candor initiates, makes the difference. Very good is also Miles Teller performance, who has a demanding supporting role, and succeeds in showing different aspects of his talent. Naomi Watts was good, like Octavia Spencer and the ever charming Kate Winslet. We must make special mention for Daniel Dae Kim, Candor leader, who deserves to play protagonistic roles.
“Insurgent” will be released in greek movie theaters at March 19th, 2015, distributed by Odeon and you have to see the 3D edition. If I haven’t told you before, this movie is… AMAZING!
