Storyline
One choice can transform you-or it can destroy you. But every choice has consequences, and as unrest surges in the factions all around her, Tris Prior must continue trying to save those she loves--and herself--while grappling with haunting questions of grief and forgiveness, identity and loyalty, politics and love. Tris's initiation day should have been marked by celebration and victory with her chosen faction; instead, the day ended with unspeakable horrors. War now looms as conflict between the factions and their ideologies grows. And in times of war, sides must be chosen, secrets will emerge, and choices will become even more irrevocable--and even more powerful. Transformed by her own decisions but also by haunting grief and guilt, radical new discoveries, and shifting relationships. Tris must fully embrace her Divergence, even if she does not know what she may lose by doing so

At first, let me make it clear that I really liked the first movie, Divergent. I had not been familiar with the books or the story so it was an amazing "utopia" for me.
In Insurgent, basically we get what we should expect from such a sequel: another two hours of 3D visual awesomeness and captivating storytelling, along with a lovable female main character played very well again by Shailene Woodley. And, of course, a well written screenplay with moral thoughts in the right moments.
While watching, I could not help being deeply moved emotionally by the film. Like in Divergent, there are a lot of dreaming scenes and now they are extremely intense. All the time I was like really feeling everything what Tris felt, understanding her emotions perfectly, getting a little of her mental struggles. This part is well elaborated in the film. It makes you think that yes, this is the same with me. Yeah, I do have these same doubts when I have to make serious decisions in my own life. We are tested by life from time to time and it is not always an easy choice which way to follow: that of abnegation, amity, candor, dauntlessness, or erudition. This time, we get a deeper insight in the life and mental constitution of all the factions.
However, I must say I was not fully satisfied with the film. Apart from Tris, other characters are too one-sided, predictable and not well elaborated. The only interesting character among the others is Jeanine's (Kate Winslet), but I think her motives, her way of thinking should have been presented more detailed. After the first film, it was a big question for me what her story is, her character had so much potential, but I think the writers did not make use of it at all. Luckily, Kate Winslet is an amazing actress who is always able to give a remarkable performance. One day, maybe, Shailene will become a fine actress too, I will wait for that. It will be a lot of work for her, but she is a bright talent. Aww, but it is a pity that they cut her beautiful hair short for the movie!
