The Hunger Games was a tremendous movie, garnering awards and nominations from different groups. The second installment seeked to one-up the first movie by adding an intricate plot centered around political upheavals demanded by the masses.
Catching Fire had a high standard to reach, set by its predecessor, and it did not disappoint. The political turmoil involving the poorer of the twelve remaining districts and the elitist Capitol was the center of this film. The movie featured Panem's 75th Hunger Games, or the 3rd Quarter Quell. It is a Hunger Games with a different arena and more competitors. The rebellion against the Capitol leader President Snow actually used the Quarter Quell to spark the revolution, centered around the triumph and survival of their beacon of hope, the protagonist Katniss Everdeen, portrayed by Jennifer Lawrence.
The movie had amazing graphics. The arena set-up was beautiful, with a weather-changer, artificial beaches and forests, as well as ships and stadiums that look like they are far from being constructed in the real world. It is truly amazing how much more imaginative directors and designers have come from cult science fiction films such as the Matrix.
Catching Fire did not disappoint in terms of acting, editing, and writing. It's safe to say I will be looking forward to the third installment, Mockingjay.
