The generic, stilted Allegiant is a cash-grab with its split-finale, says CBC film reviewer Eli Glasner

In The Divergent Series: Allegiant, the latest instalment of theShaileneWoodley-led,teen-focuseddystopiansaga, the action is generic and the CGI overwhelming, but the movie's biggestproblem is the script, says CBC's Eli Glasner.

After all the angst and action, the battle's finally over. Except it's not, because producers have split the finale into two, following in the footsteps of blockbusterfranchises likeHarry Potter and The Hunger Games.

It's apointless cash grab, stretching out a series with diminishing returns, says Glasner.
