Movie Review

Hunger Games Trilogy is one of the most popular
Sci-Fi movie based on book written by Suzanne Collins. It is a Science
Fiction film because it uses science-based
depictions of phenomena that are not necessarily accepted by mainstream
science(1). The Technology was so advance that even when you twirl, your white
wedding dress burns and turns into black mocking jay costume, the facilities
are state of the art science and technology, and the island where
they battle is covered with force field.
It is the visualization of the
future after Apocalypse where society/(district) were utterly horrible or degraded that is generally
headed to an irreversible oblivion, or dystopia(2). You can see how Science,
Technology and Society FAILED not only in the world of District 13 but all the
other district. Only the Capitol has access to this technological advancement
and used it in inappropriate manner; A manner where they can be in control and suppress
others; A manner which is inhumane and unjust. So there is no surprise that
people revolt in the end. It is how History works; it is like a cycle of events
that keeps on repeating.
First, it is not a feel-good movie. I didn't cry,
but most of the time, I was almost about to. I did watched the first film, so I
had a little background. And I liked it. I didn't read the book so I didn't
expect much. But after seeing the second installment, I craved for more. It is
worth watching. Well, the execution is pretty awesome, but I'm not into that
genre where you kill other people just for you to survive. It finally get into
me the brutal truth about the game. The ending was literally a cliffhanger, and
I'm looking forward to the third film.
