Nearly a decade after its release, The Divergent Series: Insurgent has come under scrutiny in the latest episode of Screen Rant's Pitch Meeting series. The 2015 sequel, based on Veronica Roth's YA book trilogy, follows Tris and her friends evading the Erudite leader Jeanine, who seeks to eliminate all Divergents. Despite grossing close to $300 million, the film received predominantly negative reviews from critics.
As the young adult genre continues to thrive on screen, Screen Rant's Pitch Meeting revisits The Divergent Series: Insurgent. The video humorously highlights plot inconsistencies in the sequel, particularly regarding Jeanine's intentions towards the Divergents and the established lore. It also playfully critiques the movie's final act, predominantly set in Tris' mind, and its cliffhanger ending.
