Insurgent is the second installment of the Divergent franchise,and is based on the book of the same name,by Veronica Roth.
The first part of the movie finds Tris,her brother, Four and Peter living with the Amity faction. Tris has nightmares due to the fact she considers herself responsible for her parents' and Will's death.
Jeanine,who orchestrated the killing by Dauntless,with the help of Eric,is blaming the Divergents for her actions. She might have ulterior motives for why she seeks out the Divergents,as she found a box in Tris' parents' house,which can be opened only by Divergents who pass the tests of all the factions.
Dauntless comes after them at Amity,and Peter betrays them,because it's something he does,so they run. They jump on a moving train trying to escape Eric and his posse,who are on their tracks.
As the train is carrying Factionless steal aways, who outnumber them, and who want to kill them, Four gives them his real name. They take him to his mother who is the leader of the Factionless.
Four's mother wants them to join forces to take Jeanine down.
The movie has a lot of back and forth. They leave Amity,go to Factionless,from Factionless they go to Candor,then back to Factionless, then to Erudite...also, certain characters keep on changing teams without consequences..,thing which kinda bored me.
The actors were good,so were the visual effects and soundtrack. I personally didn't enjoy this movie as much as I did the first one.
The villains like Jeanine , Eric, Peter and Tris' brother are terribly annoying,and seeing some of them dead is what I look up to,whenever I watch the franchise.
Insurgent is streaming on DIRECTV, Freeform, Fubo Tv, Netflix, Sling Tv, Spectrum on Demand,and is for rent or buy on Amazon, Apple, Google, AMC on Demand, Microsoft Store, Redbox, Vudu, YouTube.
