Robert Schwentke, who has directed only 7 action and sci-fi movies at that time, was hired to take his place. The beginning of the movie creates a futuristic feeling, with a powerful soundtrack by talanted Joseph Trapanese that matches the intense story. The sound design, including reverbs, swooshes, and reverse effects, boosts the film's visuals, making it more immersive. The cinematography of "Insurgent" is really good. It shows...
