The Divergent Series Allegiant
*I received a copy of this Blu-Ray + DVD in order to facilitate this review. However, as always opinions are 100% my own.
Go Beyond the Wall with Shailene Woodley and Theo James in the Hit Film Based on the Worldwide Best-selling Franchise Launches on Digital HD on June 21 and 4K Ultra HD Combo Pack, Blu-ray™ Combo Pack & DVD on July 12! Bring home the third exciting installment of the Divergent franchise.
“Allegiant” tells the story of a young woman named Tris and her lover named Four who break away from a social-class of militants who have taken control of Chicago. As the leader of the militants holds trials and executions of her opposition, Tris realizes that her younger brother has been deemed to be part of the opposition to the militant leader, and this causes Tris to go rescue her sibling and then escape from Chicago with her brother, lover, and friends. As Tris and her band of refugees flee for new and unexplored lands that have recently been made available for them to access, the militant-class pursues them.
“Allegiant” is the third film from the Divergent film series, and it is a good film for several reasons. Namely, this film is NOT a remake, nor is it a part-remake and part-sequel as a lot of films have been.
Tris and Four risk everything to save their world in the third installment of the worldwide hit franchise when The Divergent Series: Allegiant arrives on Digital HD on June 21 and on Blu-ray Combo Pack (plus DVD and Digital HD), DVD (plus Digital), 4K Ultra HD Combo Pack (plus Blu-ray and Digital HD), and On Demand July 12 from Lionsgate’s Summit Entertainment label.
