Divergent (2014)
In a post-apocalyptic closed-in Chicago divided by factions based on virtues, a young teenager learns she's Divergent and won't fit in.
Fairly well made sci-fi thriller for teens thrills only in parts and the paramilitary brouhaha is disturbing; Shailene Woodley does her job well, though, in the lead role.
Maltin**1/2: "Enfrossing-enough adaptation..., although these youth-empowerment stories set in a dystopian future, like THE HUNGER GAMES, are starting to blur."

After Earth (2013)
A crash landing leaves a young boy and his father stranded on Earth, a millennium after events forced humanity's escape, and since the father is injured, the boy must embark on a perilous journey to signal for help.
OK, but unremarkable sci-fi adventure does offer some nice settings, but leaves very much of its future vision unexplained.
Maltin**: "Juvenile adventure yarn...may appeal to younger viewers, but the script...is downright awkward at times. And what's with the oddball dialect?"
