Nothing close to Katniss' Revolution, but Thrills Enough

Rating: 7/10 (16 September 2014)

Fox thinks that they might generate the same hype as what Lionsgate did for The Hunger Games, though it looks pretty decent, it never comes any closer to Katniss' revolution. It is properly story-driven and undeniable an intriguing young adaptation without any annoying unnecessary stuffs, changing the idea of Hunger Games with a maze and end the story just like Cabin in the Wood except that with some proper explanation do not really contribute to make the film looks brilliant, but more on recycling the same idea. When the film starts to break out to find an exit from the creepy and horrifying maze, the twisted ending is not really surprising but more to the mindset of the studio that they hint to produce more sequels. However, the performance of the young casts are good and the strong scores have actually made the adventure looks extremely thrilling.
