Not the best of the series. That being said, it was still good. There were some cool shots with dramatic effect. The camera was used with wonderful effect throughout. There were a couple of scenes that really stuck out as fantastically done. To avoid too many spoilers, I will not go into specifics. The acting was up to par with the other films in the series and I can’t say anything bad about it.

Now, as well done as it was, I’m not a huge fan. The book annoyed me because of how the story was executed and the movie didn’t do a whole lot to fix it. There were some issues with certain large plot points being of no real consequence. Spoiler alert: everyone dies and for nothing. That feeling of the deaths meaning nothing wasn’t quite so bad in the movie as it was in the book. The movie is faster, so you don’t get as long to reflect on the issues and they added a couple of scenes that gave some reason for the deaths beyond the author wanted those characters to die. I love the story told throughout the trilogy, but I really feel like, with this final part, she created a plot for the purpose of killing characters rather than killing characters to help the plot like it should be. The movie stuck a little too true to the book in this instance (not something you’re likely to ever hear me say again).

Overall, I think this film is a wonderfully crafted version of a story that has some issues. It’s still leaps and bounds ahead of Divergent.
