The third entry in this daftest of franchises of the Post-Genetic-Apocalypse for Pretty People brings no improvement. It takes a very long time telling very little, and it is a shame that as much attention was not paid to dialogue and content as is evident in the ambitious but mostly cheap-looking design and visual effects. Theo James broods heroically and Miles Teller's comic timing surfaces on a couple of occasions, and at least it can be said that Elgort and Woodley have improved on-screen as the series has progressed. However, in terms of ideas and execution, The Divergent Series makes The Hunger Games and Maze Runner films look like classics.
