This installment of the series focused on the new world of futuristic designs and tools taking over the old world of emotions and raw power.

Perhaps it was a critical view of the war itself, or Alex just did not feel like a better excuse was plausible or novel.

It’s not scary anymore…It is already a big challenge to scare audiences with horror films; the standard techniques are not working any more.

So overall, this film leaves you a bit cold in the chair, if you are not the one who is watching this as the first film of the series. At the heart of the series lies this very idea of cleansing the earth and rebuilding it from the ashes of the destruction so required.

The only success that this film may claim to have is that all ghosts are nothing but the brain playing tricks due to parasomnia.

The movie suffers similar moments of forced conversations and it all seems like a twisted plot with predictable characters and obvious deductions simply to arrive at the climax where two grown-up professionals have a show down.

Judah Ben-Hur is a classic tale that will live on for centuries, a story that is not quite the tragedy that it could have been.

If you have seen the previous Divergent series, then it is a good watch. I do hope that the final instalment Ascendant (2017) will be better and more intricate. For now, Allegiant seems too convoluted and forcefully sliced out of the final book to make just another sequel. It has its good moments and a lot of on-screen glamour and style, but you might be disappointed a little.

Even though the movie has a lot going for it, Burnt’s biggest problem is probably the story. The writers introduce too many subplots and characters, which seem unnecessary. If they had just focused on Adam and his goals, the movie would have had a stronger impact.

It is an invented story providing us the origins of Peter Pan and Captain Hook, setting the stage for a sequel in a new franchise. Hugh Jackman is excellent as Blackbeard. He doesn’t reveal himself much, getting himself higher up in the league of actors who transform themselves for their characters.
