Ah ok, I just wanted to clarify! Because I can be superficial, but I won't let me entire rating/view of a movie be influenced by the lead(s) :P

Expected the reviews to be shite for this tbf, which is why im glad the tickets are free and im not p*ying for it!

Both me and my mate have thought Shaliene Woodley was the wrong casting choice for Tris and everyones opinions seems to reflect just that.
Shall be going just with the hopes that Kate Winslet and Zoey Kravitz are as good as people are saying.

I meant shes hot. No surprise with her parents, mind you kwoarr.

Said hotness didn't affect my opinion of this weakish movie either. Really,no ones good in this movie.

I can see why people would leave after an hour as I was less than impressed after watching an hour of it. I did stick with it and thought by the end of it that it was fantastic. Can't wait for the next one, if it ever comes along

8/10

Well isn't Kate Winslet is a goddess in person! Never experienced the t-shirt thing before, was pretty cool! I quite liked the film, the acting wasn't the best but was still captivating, obsessed with Tony Goldwyn since watching Scandal, even though he is barely in it. However I did keep thinking to myself i'm sure this is explained better or in more detail in the book/ this must be a better read! So i am now currently reading the books! 7/10

This had me gripped from start to finish. I am apparently a Young Adult at heart. Wasn't sure about coming out tonight but glad I did. A solid 8/10.

Thanks to ejwrank for the company and the popcorn!

Brilliant film not quite on par with other YA adaptations such as Hunger Games Series and Harry Potter Film series. Great action sequences of which there many. The director has real visual flair. Performances from all the cast were very good but for me Zoe Kravitz stood out as Christina and Miles Teller as Peter who really was a dick. The leads were also very gd. Bring on Insergent! 8/10

Phase Lionsgate already greenlit the sequel. They start filming it in May. Jai Courtney whos plays Eric will film Insurgent and Terminator Genesis at the same time. Both Studios have Worked out their schedules so neither films clash. Soz im abit of a geek when it comes to films lol.

Rather enjoyed this. Not quite as gripping nor as interesting as Hunger Games, but still very enjoyable. Couldn't believe that nearly 2 1/2 hours went by so quickly. Had no prior knowledge of the books but this made no difference.
Couldn't help getting confused by the 4 young male leads all looking similar to each other, and one of them having 2 names, but managed to keep on top of it.
I've definitely seen several of these young male actors in other things, can't place them yet though.

My +1 had to ask me in a not stage whisper if that was Kate Wincyette! Lol.

7/10 for me.
