Good film!

Rating: 7/10 (22 April 2012)

I didn't really know anything about the Hunger Games before seeing it at the movies.
For others like me The Hunger Games is a fight to the death between representatives from the 12 districts in a future world. There are 2 contestants selected from each district and the winner is the last survivor. The story follows District 12's participant Katniss who volunteers to replace her sister Prim.
The film is interesting and engaging throughout and there's a definite influence from the Truman Show and Lord of the Flies amongst others. It certainly also leaves you with plenty to talk and think about afterwards. I found out that it was based on books and I enjoyed the film enough to make me go out and buy the trilogy. Hopefully the books will be as entertaining as the film!
