	Media	Author	Review
		Peter Debruge Variety	"What began as a massive, if astoundingly implausible sociology exercise (...) has morphed into a downright ridiculous anti-eugenics parable"
		Jordan Mintzer The Hollywood Reporter	"Another sci-fi actioner where big ideas are often bottled down into resounding clichés (...) ['Allegiant'] offers more of the same"
		Mick LaSalle SFGATE	"Combines the usual dumb ideas with one good one. And not just good, but impressive, in that it makes sense of much of what went before"
		Michael Phillips Chicago Tribune	"It's a pretty dull picture (...) And it's a pretty dull picture, I must say, because something about its particular grade of dullness may cause memory loss"
		Mark Kermode The Guardian	"The weakest of the Divergent movies to date (...) The result is plodding stuff which accentuates the silliness of the original (...) Only Miles Teller seems to be enjoying himself (...) Rating: ★★ (out of five)"
		Kenneth Turan Los Angeles Times	"Because turning a novel into two films invariably leads to inflated productions, only the most devoted fans of the book will pledge allegiance to what's on the screen"
		Ben Croll IndieWire	"'The Divergent Series: Allegiant' brings back the same cast of characters to do more or less exactly what they did in the previous films, only this time in sets with more sci-fi gloss than postapocalyptic grunge"
		Scott Mendelson Forbes	"If you like the prior Divergent films, you’ll like this one (...) The film boasts solid production values, a handful of decent action beats, and a bunch of actors who do their very best to elevate the material"
		Tom Huddleston Time Out	"For about half an hour, this is fairly entertaining (...) But as internal logic goes out of the window and the plot contrivances pile up (...) the film becomes increasingly trying (...) Rating: ★★ (out of five)"
		Robbie Collin Telegraph	"Like the earlier 'Divergent' films, 'Allegiant' is studded with enticing science-fiction ideas, but it keeps such a poker-straight face while presenting them, you often can’t help but crack up. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of five)"
		James Dyer Empire	"Instead of bringing much-needed clarity, 'Allegiant' piles on yet more bamboozling mythology to flummox and confound. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of five)"
