Insurgent / One Choice Can Destroy You
Sub-genre of Science Fiction the film fits into:
- Futuristic Dystopia
- Experimental Science
Insurgent picks up from where Divergent had finished off with Tris and Four on the run from Jeanine, trying to find allies who can help defeat the Erudite. Tris must find out why her family had sacrificed their lives and what were they trying to protect from Jeanine. Tris and Four fight together to overcome difficult challenges as they unravel the mystery of the past and possibly what's held in the future of their world.
Characters and why they might appeal to an audience:
Tris is one of the main protagonists and therefore would appeal to an female audience. People who like a bit of romance with some action in a movie would watch Insurgent. Also Tris and Four fight against Jeanine and her people which shows some rivalry, this would intrigue an audience who like to see some conflict and action. The fact that insurgent is a sequel would appeal to Divergents' audience.
Setting and how it fits the Sci-Fi genre:
The setting links to the Science Fiction genre because it is set in a futuristic Chicago and it shows the progression of technology.
Mise-en-scene and how it fits the Sci-Fi genre:
The main protagonists, Tris and Four, link into the genre of Sci-Fi because they have very rare names and the characters clothing's are very distinctive.
Institutions and how much money it made:
The main production company is Summit Entertainment. Insurgent had a budget of $110,000,000 and in the opening weekend it made $52,263,680. The total gross was $129,995,817.
Stars and Directors:
Insurgent was directed by Robert Schwentke. Insurgent features Kate Winslet, Theo James, Shailene Woodley, Ansel Elgort and Jai Courtney.
Critical reception:
People's reviews on the Rotten tomatoes website has given Insurgent a very bad review, they believe that it is essentially one long fight with occasional scene changes. However, some critics believe that Insurgent was well paced and because there has already been a part one movie (Divergent), Insurgent could focus more on the plot. Similarly, the IMDB website has given Insurgent a bad review. The Critics believe that the movie did not live up to the expectation shown in the trailer.The movie made a healthy profit from the audience because the movie was based on the books with the same name by Veronica Roth. It can be said that the audience were anxious to see how the book would be adapted into a movie which created the positive response. However, the movie got bad reviews because it did not live up to the expectations of the book.
Target audience:
The film website IMDB has given Insurgent a rating of 'PG-13' due to intense action scenes and moderate sexual scenes. However, the BBFC website has given Insurgent a rating a '12A' because of the use of violence and strong language. I believe that Insurgent is aimed more at a teenage audience because it is a teen-dystopian movie. The movies are based on the book series which is aimed at a teen/adult audience. Insurgent would appeal to 55% female and 45% male audience because the movie is centred around a female protagonist. However, it would appeal to a male audience due to the fact that there are two main characters that consist of a male and female.
