Depressive movie

Rating: 2/10 (7 April 2012)

A depressive fun-less movie.
I hated Battle Royal for its sheer violence. After seeing Hunger Games, with perspective, BR at least had some drama.
Filmed mostly with a gray to blue-steel filter, the tone is devoid of any joy. Even the action scenes are dull and the CG effects are not better than Ben Hur days.
This film is in the same shade as In Time (another movie devoid of any humor), where the future is shown with people dressed in ludicrous costumes (in the case of Hunger Games, the dress code is right out of the Sun King's court pastiche).
I do not know why this movie is compared to Twilight but I will take any day the first Twilight episode, to watch again.
