Allegiant (Robert Schwentke, 2016)

The Divergent series drags itself onwards towards its demise more and more blindly, with the wet 'pure' heroine and her pals now discovering a city beyond the wall that has been responsible for their messed-up factionalised society all along, having created it as a sort of eugenic experiment. There's not an iota of originality here any more, just a succession of increasingly ridiculous bits of futuristic architecture and a lot of sanitised shooting. It's being rumoured that due to the film's poor box office showing, the last instalment will actually only come out as a TV movie. Doesn't schadenfreude feel good sometimes?

3/10
