UHD Review The Divergent Series: Allegiant UHD Review (1 Viewer)

[Todd Erwin]

In what appears to be becoming a customary practice by Hollywood, the third and final novel in the Divergent series, Allegiant, has been split into two movies (the final film, now tentatively titled Ascendant, will arrive in theatres Spring 2017), and that may be stretching an already thin premise too thin. The third film, Allegiant, often asks the audience to suspend their disbelief too far, bringing in a few plot twists out of left field.

I just bought this series on Blu. The story of course is not finished. I took the final book out of the library. Does anyone know if there is a chapter where I should start reading to finish it off?

I just bought this series on Blu. The story of course is not finished. I took the final book out of the library. Does anyone know if there is a chapter where I should start reading to finish it off?

Given that most film adaptations vary greatly from the books they're based upon, I think you'd likely be reading a quite different story if you just try and jump into the middle of the third novel. But from what I've read about the films, Allegiant supposedly covers roughly the first half of the third book.

At a minimum, I would just begin at the start of the third book. If the story seems different compared to what you've seen in the movies, you might be better off just reading the entire trilogy from the beginning. If you enjoyed the storyline in the films, the books are likely even better.

The handling of these films was awful. The studio got greedy trying to stretch into four films, and ended up screwing everyone by never finishing the story in any format when the cast and others had no interest in making a TV-movie to wrap it up.
