Actually the title should be:
Lights, Camera, (cue attractive male figure) aaaannnddd Action This evening, after a day at the temple with rehearsals for the upcoming India Fest, my friends and I headed to the movies, in DownTown Disney The extra? Katherine was able to make it as well! She had come back down to spend her spring break in Orlando, and after about 3 (?) years, we got to see her again. After paying for an overpriced ticket (actually it wasn't that bad..) we took our seats in a relatively empty theater and watched Divergent. I guess most people went the first couple days it showed. (Let me add: we went on Sunday. The movie came out on Friday. And it is a box office hit. So that ^ statement was not sarcasm.) The movie itself? Fantastic. Although there hasn't been a single movie version of a book, that's been as good as the book, this one came pretty close. It did miss out some details here and there, the over all plot was fairly accurate. Only one thing bothered me just a little bit...The age difference between Shaline Woodly and Theo James. Although Shaline (Tris) looks to be about 16, the age she is supposed to portray based on the novel, Theo is supposed to play a 24 year old. Not only is this inaccurate (he was supposed to only be 18) but in real life, he is actually 28 years old. Now, although some people may disagree, I feel that they needed someone who looked a bit...younger...to play our Four. On the other hand, I can't deny the fact that Theo James is quite gorgeous ;) But apart from that, the movie was spectacular, and definitely worth a watch, especially if you have read the book.
