Allegiant is considered the 3rd sequel from the divergent series directed by Robert Schwentke based from the novel of Veronica Ruth. We found out again, Tris a very valiant girl, along with his boyfriend, Four aka Tobias Ethon on a search to find, what lies beyond the wall secluding their society. From the message whom Tris cracked upon, we deduced that a whole new world can be found outside the wall, and they’re only an experiment in which the founders believed to bring peace and regain humanity once and for all.

Yet people with different factions, gathered together, slaughtered everyone who work for Jeanne and all Erudite people using the “truth serum” of Candor faction leader; Evelyn, leader of the factionless, one of the leader in the factions disregarded Amity’s leader, Johann and decided to have a war on it. Caleb Prior was there, felt sorry because of what he belived it was true, sacrificing his only family left even death was the consequence. Tris as a 100% divergent, one of her amity values, makes her forgive what Caleb had done for her. Still, Tris, Four, Christina, Peter and Caleb along with Tori (who helped them to get passed of the wall, but died later on); a weird sentimental environment of bloody rain was all there was, but after that they were introduced, a whole new world of genetic advancement that Tris never expected.

Most of the scenes including some techie materials especially use in battlefield, was really well edited, even though it may seem a bit sci fi, it was really great to make this possible in the film. The people behind this film really put much labour to make this film possible. I may not been able to read the book, I find it very confusing in such a way that the chronological scenes of it was unclear compared to the 1st 2 Divergent series. It really had me hanging for a while, and repeated the same scene all over again to understand what really happen in that scene. Questions like, what really was the character of Peter in this film, the antagonist or some undecided person in which side he will about to join? It may seem ironic but it was really unclear in the film, from the 1st 2 films of this series, he was an antagonist and later prove that he was not.

Four had a weird feeling that Tris never should’ve trusted David, yet he even decided to be on the mission in the Fridge to see it for himself and his hunch was right all along. Despite on their relationship as a couple, Tris determination of helping David to fix everyone in their “damaged” DNA in the Chicago (where they are considered as experiments to them) was her priority before believing to her boyfriend. Never knew that their love at each other was stronger, letting Tris to distinguish that David was the real enemy in this horrible situation.
The ending scene was really put up a fight, Tris' message to David sending his pod (because Tris (stole it from him to get to Chicago to stopped Evelyn from releasing the serum) to break the wall protecting the place called “The Bureau of Genetic Welfare” concluded that their place is not a medium to let be a theoretical experiment, because they are people who loved their community despite of the false facts that let them divide from each other by means of factions.
I rated this film 8/10 for there are some unclear scenes that makes me confused so bad, neglecting what was the message the author portraying to the audiences. Still this film ended up with a relief, proving that they may seem experiments to David and the rest of what they are called “pure”, but their pride will tear them down, tearing their wall and let them reunite with the “damaged” rather than isolating themselves as being “pure”
