This is the review of the film 'Divergent' written by the guardians.
The review is very descriptive using double negatives like 'gloomy portent' and 'fake'. Plosive's are used making the words sound more important, for example 'portent'. Thus sending the reader a message that the film is loud and unsuspecting, urging the audience to go see what happens.
'No I don't buy it either' is a declarative mood which is used as a mood to express a statement. This is also a personal thought, automatically agreeing that the readers don't understand the context of the film.
Imagery is used to create a picture in the readers minds and The Guardian does that by writing
'futuristic, postwar society in which the now pacified population are divided into five distinct groups'
This gives the readers an idea of the setting of the film and what it involves.
