The latest "Divergent" sequel is many things: another wholly unnecessary exercise in chopping one novel into two malformed movies, a crass cash grab for a franchise with an impending expiration date and every YA trope mashed into a twisted pile of uninspired teen angst plot points.
There are worse and more cloying young adult film adaptations out there, but "Insurgent" sets a new disappointing baseline for lazy YA movies.
It's slightly ironic that a story about free-thinking and independence is such an unoriginal, uninspired mishmash of tired sci-fi elements.
