All types of people will find something that irks them in the penultimate part of the Divergent franchise. The erudite will tire of the lank plot, the dauntless will find the action boring. Even the most selfless and peaceful will start to feel a self-righteous rage as, once again, doe-eyed dullard Tris (Shailene Woodley) and man slab Four (Theo James) take on the nasty grown-ups of post-apocalyptic Chicago. This time their beef lies beyond the city’s walls, where a super scientist called David (Jeff Daniels) is diddling with our DNA in the hope that he can create a “pure” race. Uh-oh. Big but boring, expansive but cheap-looking, Allegiant spins in place, waiting for next year’s Ascendent to come along and offer resolution. In all candour: you can do without it.
