Ominous threats mask hideous truths in Allegiant. Fresh fodder follows a group of idealists trying to stave off their destruction in the third of the Divergent series from EOne Entertainment. Experience  all the excitement at Cineplex Odeon screens around B.C.

Most of the cast from the first two installments returns to the fore. Better watch out for alliances, threats and duplicity as again Tris and Four partake in  a rebellion breaking apart at the seems. Up for the challenge are Shailene Woodley and Theo James. Not liking what they see in the Windy City of Chicago the pair with a few friends move out and find themselves in an even deeper mystery.

Far in the distance, just beyond an imposing wall, is another society run by a smug know  –  -it all called David. Cast as this elusive tyrant in the making is  Jeff  Daniels (The  Purple  Rose of Cairo)” so the dye is cast for a battle royal pitting  some courageous young adults against a well-armed army.

Fun special effects, a dark ominous atmosphere, good confrontations, family grudges and a budding young  romance help make Allegiant enjoyable teen-oriented fare that will play well also with young impressionable adults.
