The World Will Be Watching "The Hunger Games"

Rating: 10/10 (18 February 2016)

The dystopian genre is refreshing to me. It's hard to present that, especially for PG-13 movies. I love how "The Hunger Games" bring a satisfying dystopian sci-fi action adventure movie.
The story happens in the ruins of what once known as North America, called in their time as Panem. Its government the Capitol requires a girl and a boy, called Tributes, from each of the twelve districts to send to the Hunger Games, where only one will come out alive. Katniss Everdeen volunteers for her younger sister Primrose. She meets her co-tribute Peeta Mellark, who has saved her from hunger for giving her a piece of burnt bread.
I like how the movie deals with a totalitarian government. It's unusual for a teen movie to talk about it. The action scenes are okay, but mixed with drama. Children ages 12-18 are forced to fight against one another for survival, which includes killing. It also tackles entertainment, like reality TV. I just hate the shaky camera. It's dizzying.
There's a cliffhanger. So expect for a sequel, and I'll see it.
