I've been looking forward to this one. 😊 As I mentioned, I'm one of few that actually like all three of these movies. I really like the added cast of Jeff Daniels and Bill Skarsgård. And I love that we got more with Octavia Spencer's character, Joanna. Fun Fact: This is the first of two movies that Bill Skarsgård(Matthew) and Andy Bean(Romit)where in together. The second one would be "IT: Chapter 2". In that one they didn't have any scenes together, but in this movie they had at least a couple scenes together. There was a planned sequel. However, do to the low box office numbers it was canceled. "The Divergent Series: Ascendant" was going to be the title. Then in 2017 the Starz cable channel announced plans for it to be a mini-series just to finish up the story. But it was canceled again when the cast stated that it was in their contracts that they were only supposed to do a movie, not a mini-series. In way I was really bummed, because I wanted to see the story end. There were parts of the book that I wanted to see play out on screen. ((I won't post any book spoilers here unless Itsaprimate wants to know what I'm referring to.)) Other than that image of David looming over the group at the end it ended, in my opinion, good. Four and Tris are happy and together. Four is on better terms with his mother Evelyn. Tris and Caleb are finally on good terms(Caleb begins calling her "Tris" instead of "Beatrice" by the end of the movie). And Peter pretty much got what he deserved, being stranded in the Fringe. I don't remember what happens to Peter by the end of the third book. So glad that you got to watch these movies. 😊

Agreed, it felt like a good ending with a door being there for more, would've liked to see it but not entirely upset with this being the "ending" as far as movies

I'm another one who actually likes all three of these movies, but I completely understand why the third one bombed so badly that they didn't make the fourth. First, splitting book 3 into two parts was a straight-up cash grab. They saw the success of Harry Potter book 7, Twilight book 4, and Hunger Games book 3 being broken into two parts and thought they could get away with doing the same thing for Allegiant. I have all of these ebooks, and looking at reports on each book's file size and the number of words used, Harry Potter deserved to be broken up - book 7 is 2.5x the size of book 1 and it was getting harder and harder for them to pare down enough of the source material to keep the movie down to a manageable run-time. Breaking Dawn was about 50% larger than Twilight, so an argument could be made there, but Mockingjay was barely any larger than Hunger Games, so I think that was a cash grab too, but at least they *stuck to the source material.* Which brings me to the second reason Allegiant bombed so badly. You could say that they kept the essence of the plot - Tris, Four, and some others go outside the city where they find the Bureau of Genetic Welfare, and they learn that people's genes have been tinkered with in the past, and that David, the leader of the Bureau, has his own agenda, and it's not to help the people in Chicago, who are just subjects in his grand experiment. That is, in fact, the plot of book 3, but the way it all happens in the movie is *completely* different from the book. Almost nothing that happens in the book happens in the movie. And in the book, it's Tris who is suspicious of everything in the Bureau and Four who trusts the wrong people, which leads to one of their friends dying. They changed SO MUCH. The climax of the movie is *sort of* the same in the book, except it's the Bureau who's planning to release the memory gas in the city and Evelyn has absolutely nothing to do with it or even knows anything about it. Four and some others go back to the city to try to inoculate certain people against the gas, while Tris and Caleb stay and try to stop the Bureau from releasing the gas in the first place, and all that happens about 90% of the way into the book. What in the hell were they planning to put in movie 4?? Anyway, all that to say, between unnecessarily splitting the book into two movies, and then basically rewriting the entire story, they just shot themselves in the foot with the fans, and it wasn't a good enough movie to stand on its own without the fan base behind it. I mean, it's entertaining enough, but ultimately, forgettable. Regardless, I'm glad you watched it and enjoyed it!
