Plot Summary:
Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark return to District 12
following their unprecedented dual victory in the 74th Hunger
Games, however, their actions have unintentionally sparked
dissent throughout Panem. President Snow, fearing a rebellion,
forces Katniss and Peeta on a Victor's Tour to quell the unrest
and maintain the Capitol's control, threatening their loved ones
if they fail. Despite their efforts, the uprising intensifies,
leading to the announcement of a special Quarter Quell, forcing
them back into a deadly arena against other past victors.

Dad's Preview:
The second film in the futuristic dystopia amps up everything we
loved about the first. There is a new contest called the Third Quarter Quell.
This time the contestants are past winners, thus upping
the skill level. The most exciting element for me is the evolution
of Katniss herself. The poor girl from District 12 is becoming a
determined, engaging leader. Likewise, Jennifer Lawrence is
becoming an actor to be noticed. |
