Great movie production, but to much speculative violence

Rating: 6/10 (30 March 2012)

Futuristic landscapes, cities, buildings, people with the most amazing costumes, was making the film a great cinematic experience.
Content-wise, however, I was very disappointed. The cinematic was, as I said, very good, with exciting "sitting on the edge" fight scenes, etc. However, there was no exciting twist in the film. Only a story of how the elite in the society suppressed these 12 districts, by allowing 24 youths between 13 to 18 (?) years old, kill each other in a speculative reality television series to the delight of the master race. It all ends with a slightly sad love story, where we can see that the female lead actor loved another.
If the 24 youths along the way in the "sick" game had seen it pointless to kill each other, and had initiated a revolt against the master race, the history would have a much more meaningful content.
So - Great movie production, but the story was so thin, that it for my part, came out as speculative violence.
