More shots of Josh Hutcherson as Peeta and Liam Hemsworth as Gale there. I haven't read the book on which this movie is based but two guys looking like they are advertising clothing from "Dress Plain And Blend In" strolling through the forest isn't exactly amping up my anticipation. Still, Lawrence looks good as Katniss. At least she is sporting some weaponry.
Every year in the ruins of what was once North America, the nation of Panem forces each of its twelve districts to send a teenage boy and girl to compete in the Hunger Games. Part twisted entertainment, part government intimidation tactic, the Hunger Games are a nationally televised event in which “Tributes” must fight with one another until one survivor remains.
Pitted against highly-trained Tributes who have prepared for these Games their entire lives, Katniss is forced to rely upon her sharp instincts as well as the mentorship of drunken former victor Haymitch Abernathy. If she’s ever to return home to District 12, Katniss must make impossible choices in the arena that weigh survival against humanity and life against love.
