The Hunger Games is based on a young adult novel by American writer Suzanne Collins. The story is set in the future in totalitarian nation of Panem is divided between 12 districts and the Capitol. Each year two young representatives from each district are selected by lottery to participate in The Hunger Games. All the young participants are forced to eliminate other competitors while competing in the life threatening situation in which everyone fights to survive. When Katniss's young sister, Prim, is selected as District 12's female representative, Katniss volunteers to take her place. She and her male partner Peeta, are pitted against bigger, stronger representatives, some of whom have trained for this their whole lives.
The highlight of the film is the survival game played in the closely monitored and manipulated area. More importantly, the film was presented how it was written. Although the story is not a perfect plot for a movie, the main characters perform well with excellent visual effect and well directed. Nevertheless, the plot development is slow with some of the developing scenes are slow in build-up and without much excitement before the climax. Finally, the film lack in characters’ connection and the theme of the film is uncertain.
Rate: 7/10
