Insurgent Movie Trailer

Hello! Despite being a book-obsessed fangirl, I do enjoy watch a lot of movies – especially those based off of said books. Divergent was one of the first Dystopian-future-styled books that I read, and now that its sequel is becoming a movie, you can imagine how excited I am.

To celebrate my happiness, I’ve written a ‘review’ (of sorts) of the trailer, containing my initial thoughts on the movie.

Here it goes…

Hmm… It’s a bit harsh on my behalf to be judging a movie (that’s not yet been released) via it’s trailer and book. Besides, the first book-to-movie adaptation was brilliant, in my opinion!

A few people have watched the Insurgent film trailers (Official & Superbowl) and commented saying things along the lines of, “I honestly believe that I read the wrong book.” Personally, I only partially agree with this statement. Despite the fact that the two trailers feature this amazing ‘box’, of which no one has ever heard of, I think that it was necessary to change the execution of Insurgent, just so that the trilogy’s movie adaptations kept the movies’ plot headed in the right direction.

Immediately after watch the Insurgent trailers, I was keen to do a bit of research into the topic of the box, and I found this video: {click here to play}.

Okay, so there’s more than what meets the eye. Firstly, when Veronica Roth says (at 1:42), “The box takes a lot of my favourite scenes from the book and puts them in the same place at the same time,” I gathered that it proved impossible for the producers to convert word-for-word and scene-for-scene from the book to the movie, so in lieu of doing so, they created this box and tried to make it easier for non-readers to be able to understand what is going on.

Another thing I picked up on in this short ‘Sneak Peak’ of Insurgent was the fact that the movie isn’t just going to revolve around the box – as many other trailers have lead us to believe. In the beginning, it explains how the Divergent citizens are creating an army to break free of the evil ruler, that is Jeanine Matthews. Now, this was a big part in the second instalment of the Divergent trilogy, and I hope that they’ve pulled it off well.

Although my initial verdict (before seeing the Insurgent ‘Sneak Peak’) was that the movie was going to be very different to the book, I believe that it was quite a prejudice thing of me to say. I think that I’m just going to forget about what I read in the book, and walk into the cinemas without any expectations, so that I can enjoy it for what it is; a movie.
