What Is The Order Of The Divergent Movies

Okay, let's talk about Divergent. Remember that whole dystopian young adult craze? Good times, good times.

But seriously, the order of the movies. It's... well, it's a thing.

The "Official" Order (According to The Powers That Be)

So, here's how the studio wants you to think about it. Prepare yourself for some possibly contentious info.

1. Divergent (2014)

This is where it all began. Tris Prior makes her life-altering choice. Remember the Choosing Ceremony? The fear landscape?

Ah, nostalgia.

2. Insurgent (2015)

Things get more explodey. More factions clash. Shailene Woodley's hair gets even shorter. Dramatic!

Lots of running, jumping and serious faces in this one.

3. Allegiant (2016)

They go outside the wall! Shocking! New world! New problems!

This is where things started to... well, you know.

My (Slightly Unhinged) Alternative Viewing Order

Okay, unpopular opinion alert! Buckle up.

Ready? Here we go.

1. Divergent (2014)

Start here, absolutely. We need the setup, the factions, the training montages.

It's the foundation. Can't build a dystopian house without a foundation!

2. Insurgent (2015)

Yeah, this one stays put too. It's a solid bridge between the initial wonder and... the rest.

We need to see Jeanine Matthews being extra evil, right?

3. Then... Stop.

I know, I know! Hear me out! Allegiant... well, let's just say it deviates (pun intended!) a bit too much.

It's like the series peaked, then took a tumble down a very steep cliff.

The "Lost" Fourth Movie: Ascendant

Remember Ascendant? The movie that never was? The one that was supposed to wrap everything up?

Yeah, that's a sore subject for a lot of fans. Instead of a theatrical release, it was supposed to become a TV movie, but even that got scrapped!

Talk about a cliffhanger.

So, What's the "Right" Order?

Honestly? Watch the first two. Maybe the third if you're feeling brave. But be warned!

Ultimately, it's up to you! Embrace your inner Divergent and choose your own path.

And hey, there are always the books! Maybe stick to those. Just a thought.

Happy viewing (or non-viewing)!
