Allegiant really feels like a new status qou for the series, with the surface level utopia of the first two movies giving way to full on dystopia, the bread and butter of any YA franchise. Insurgent fell down by taking some of what made the first movie stand out from the crowd and twisting them into the same elements we’ve seen time and again. Allegiant seems like a clean slate once again to go somewhere new, hopefully it runs with it.
