Divergent Movie Thoughts

I wrote it weeks ago :D

---

The school exam has ended!(school exam okay, school exam. not national exam!) Whoo! It’s time to watch Divergent. I couldn’t watch it during the premier in my country because –no doubt – it’s going to be crowded…beside, I got exam on the next Monday, that I have to study (which’s impossible I studied on Friday lol)

So today, just after exam, me and some friends went to the cinema to watch it. I just need to see Tobias asdfghjkl !!! I was just dying to see him…

And this is not a movie review, but it’s basically what I thought about it! ^^

-----

It starts with a good explanation about the factions that make them who haven’t read it could understand. Well honestly, the world that I imagined when I read the book was just different once I saw the movie .__. They cut few lines from the book if I didn’t make mistake in the beginning, but it’s not that important. So I was having a good feeling that they didn’t cut any of my favorite parts…

Rating: 5/5 stars

Aku ingin mencamkan bahwa yang kalian ketahui – atau kalian piker kalian ketahui – tentang mitos dan legenda tidak selalu salah, namun juga tidak sepenuhnya benar. Setiap legenda memiliki inti kebenaran.

Nicholas Flamel sang Alchemyst yang telah hidup berates-ratus tahun mendapat masalah. John Dee berusaha mencuri buku berisi rahasia keabadiannya! Ketika sedang berusaha mempertahankan buku bernama Codex itu, seorang remaja yang bekerja di toko buku miliknya berusaha membantu. Josh – nama pemuda itu – tak menyadari bahaya yang mengintainya setelah melihat dan terlibat dalam keonaran yang dibuat Dee. Di sisi lain, Sophie – saudara kembar Josh – sedang berada di café yang berseberangan dengan toko buku Nicholas, dan ia melihat kejadian itu. Tentu saja ia tak bisa melihat saudara kembarnya itu berjuang sendirian untuk membantu Flamel. Sophie pun terlibat dalam pertarungan keduanya. Dee berhasil merebut Codex. Tidak hanya itu, ia bahkan berhasil menculik Mrs. Paranelle Flamel, istri sang Alchemyst. Dan tanpa buku itu, baik Paranelle atau Flamel sendiri akan menua satu tahun setiap harinya. Umur mereka tak lebih dari tiga puluh hari. Belum lagi, para Tetua Gelap – makjikan Dee – akan memanfaatkan Codex untuk mengembalikan kejayaan mereka yang telah pudar.
