Disturbing theme

Rating: 6/10 (30 March 2012)

I was very curious about the whole hype. Did not know much about the movie before watching it, nor did I read the books. I found the story revolves about quite a disturbing theme: young people and kids have to kill each other until one remains. Is this where we are heading in the future? That is a troubling thought. But considering how extreme shows have to go to get an audience and one has to be more extreme than the next, who knows. Too nervous camera - OK, it adds to the dynamic, but in the movie theater it is a bit too much. The movie is otherwise well made and I will go see the next installment. But I can't get the thought out of my mind relating to the killing each other off bit. Maybe that's the point....
