I haven't seen the Hunger Games, so I can't possibly comment on stories about alternative dystopian universes, but I saw this, and liked it.
In a post-apocalyptic world, people are divided into human factions based on what sort of people they are. Some are peaceful, some are selfless, some are brave, some are intelligent and some are honest.
Beatrice is a young girl who has grown up in the selfless faction, but has always been interested in the brave faction. Each 16 year old has to undergo a test to see which faction they are best suited to, and when it is found that Beatrice is suited to three separate factions the tester decides to keep this a secret. Beatrice is therefore known as a Divergent, and because people in the Divergent faction can think independently they are a threat to society.
At the choosing ceremony Beatrice chooses Dauntless (the brave faction) and is plunged into a terrifying world that is out of her control.
I love how original this film is on the basis of the factions, and I can't wait to see the next offering.
