The Running Man, Battle Royale and this...

Rating: Null/10 (5 December 2016)

So we already have The Running Man, Battle Royale, but somebody had to come up with this one. In books it is even worse, as there are many other books in the same spirit that are way better. And to compensate for the bad script: deus ex machina. Just because it is a kiddie fantasy one can do everything, even manipulate the terrain just to make teams meet and fight.
And really? The Hunger Games? With kids so fat, pardon me, strong? First it is shown as going into the wilderness is forbidden, now all have survival skills because of the crash course before the show? Is impressive to have a strong female character? It would be. Only the strong female character is a peasant virgin maiden. She does not look strong, she looks ready to start a family next to a strong man. And what about the rest? The show is just going on as a way to paint the apparent strong characters. People talk about a dystopia, but everything looks normal. There is no sign of oppression.
And the costumes! Horrible. Ugly design. Ugly idea.
