The audience have different opinions on  this film, many people suggest it was an exciting and very fantasy like, others have suggested it is very unrealistic etc. Overall Divergent was rated three and a half stars by audience. Divergent was nominated for many awards such as:

Target Audience:
The film has been rated PG-13, which in my opinion is slightly accurate but not exactly. I suggest that the age ratings should be lower as there isn't any very harsh scenes or any inappropriate scenes. I suggest the age ratings should be rated from 12 to 35 because older adults may find the Dystopian genre interesting and there is a bit of  romance as well. Though i do suggest that it is slightly more recommended for younger people as there is adventure and Sci-fi. I also suggest that the the film is slightly more for woman then men. I would say it is 55% for woman and 45% men. I suggest this because the movie is for both men and woman and there is adventure and violence for the men, but also romance for the woman and after all the main character is a woman.
