I am in a Hunger-Games-Aftermath-State

Rating: 10/10 (23 March 2012)

There are no words to describe the feeling that has inhabited my chest. I am not entirely sure I can process what was shown before my very eyes. Was it the horrific terror that chilled my spine and paralyzed me to my seat? Was it the breathtakingly beautiful romantics? I'm not entirely sure, but I know my cheeks are still sticky from the constant run of tears.
From the obvious despair shown in the district, to the snarling mutated wolves, the movie was horrific. Beautiful, but terrifying. The Capitol citizens were...unbelievable. I had never even imagined such monstrosities on human beings. Comparing 12 to the Capitol, I could visually understand Katniss's dumbfounded transition from starving to starring-in a cruel reality television show, I mean. A wonderful movie all in all. Some parts may be a bit intense for really young kids, though. There were a couple 3rd graders in my theater, and they were jumping in their seats. Still a must-see. Suzanne Collins and Gary Ross (and all cast and crew, of course) really made a phenomenon.
