The film continues the plot of the first episode a year ago. In the 74th Hunger Games, two couple champions were produced for unprecedented proportions. Although the people in the Congress District were impressed by the couple's performance in the arena, infected by their love story, and moved by their miserable encounters and bumpy roads. But what the brutal rulers saw was a blatant provocation against the rules they made, and after such a blatant provocation, the two actually survived. In this way, the rebellious forces in various districts, who had originally complained about the brutal rule of the Congress District, saw the hope of challenging the Congress District, and saw a new opportunity for resistance. And the heroine Katniss, who played in the shape of "Mockingbird", became a symbol of the spirit of resistance. The victory tour speech arranged for the two champions has almost become a popular tour of "Mockingbirds". Faced with such a situation, the president and his new chief designer of the game launched a new Hunger Games-No. The three-time Century Extreme Tournament, and the participants will be drawn from the previous championships. The purpose of this is to let the civilians in all districts know that even the strongest among them can hardly resist the Congress district and try to resist. The rule of the Congress District is futile, it is a foolish act of hitting an egg against a stone. Katniss almost collapsed after learning the new game rules. As the only female winner in the 12th district, she will undoubtedly continue to compete, and her only purpose in the arena this time is to keep Pita alive. An unprecedented brutal battle will be launched among the 24 killing machines. What kind of challenges will the two protagonists face?
The whole movie unfolds in a very compact rhythm. After simple preparation, the story comes to the arena familiar to the audience. This newly designed arena can be described as a murderous step. In this perilous environment, The 24 previous champions dropped sharply in a short period of time. The director reproduced the various crises described in the novel one by one on the movie screen through excellent special effects, the complicated relationship between the characters and the seemingly intriguing calculations between the actors, and the various abnormal performances of the two protagonists’ allies. The more I read this story, the more suspenseful it becomes. Until the last suspense was revealed, but leaving the new plot to the next episode, it can be said that the director was quite confident in the handling of the story, which made the audience's expectations for the third episode very high.
This film can be called a key project of Lionsgate Films in the past few years. It is very commendable that in today’s environment with 3D special effects, the director and investors can stick to the 2D camp and will be so eye-catching. The production is not armed with 3D or even more gorgeous special effects. But this does not mean that the visual effect of the film is not good. On the contrary, when the film enters the arena link of the climax part, various delicate and realistic visual special effects processing can definitely meet the needs of most audiences. If it is a little lacking, the film’s male protagonist has grown a bit... I have to complain about it. It seems that the development of the male protagonist is far inferior to that of the female protagonist. The heroine feels more and more superstars, and the actor just...hurry up and finish the filming. If you delay it a little longer, I really don’t know what kind of embarrassment it will be when the two stand side by side. .
