A great warm up to the final chapter

Rating: 9/10 (8 April 2015)

Greetings from Lithuania.
"The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1" (2014) is a truly enjoyable movie, if you liked the first two. I'm not a fan of the series, and don't wait for these movies to come up, haven't read books and i don't even try to watch them as soon as possible, but when i do i enjoy them very much.
Part 1 continuous the story where it left in previous movie, but i won't go into details here. If you liked first movies, you will like this one as well nevertheless it doesn't feature any games this time. It's all about revolution from now.
Overall, Part 1 is a very solid movie on it's own and a great warm up to the final chapter. It's has some solid acting (especially from the lead, but no wonder here), nice settings, interesting and involving plot, very good special effects (although there aren't many of them here). Looking forward for a final installment.
