Gazing out over the wall that encircles Chicago at the end of “The Divergent Series: Allegiant,” Tris Prior longs for the time when she didn’t know what lay on the other side. Her imagination, like ours, had clearly been primed for exciting revelations beyond the realm of Veronica Roth’s juvie sci-fi franchise, which inexplicably switches allegories late in the game. What began as a massive, if astoundingly implausible sociology exercise — where citizens were sorted into character-specific factions, like Hogwarts first-years awaiting their house assignments — has morphed into a downright ridiculous anti-eugenics parable. And whereas Roth’s political subtext was previously rich enough to overlook the films’ second-rate action set pieces, her message has become so muddled, Summit has every reason to worry whether tween audiences (already down $20 million since the first movie) will remain allegiant to a weakening franchise through its forthcoming fourth episode, expected summer 2017.Allegiant 2016 Movie Download.
