Suspenseful,
intriguing to the eye, and amazingly breathtaking: these are just a few ways to
describe Francis Lawrence’s Catching Fire which premiered on Thursday, November
21st. Theaters were packed and audience members were certainly pleased by this
film: box offices totaled an astounding $297 million after two weekends. Based
off of the Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins, the movies gave viewers
more of a visual aspect of the games they've been reading about for the past
six years.
Although Catching Fire runs two hours, the audience is quickly pulled into the
post-apocalyptic nation of Panem. Jennifer Lawrence is convincingly competitive
and powerful as Katniss Everdeen, who wins the previous 74th annual Hunger
Games with Peeta Mellark played by Josh Hutcherson. This dynamic duo fights
viciously for control as leaders of District 12, and their relationship may
suffer in the process.
I recommend this movie to people who are able to comfortably watch highly
dangerous circumstances unfold before their very eyes. This movie was very well
put together by a production team that clearly worked hard to do so. If you are
up for the challenge, take a trip to your local movie theater and check out
Catching Fire: may the odds be ever in your favor.
