The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1

It's The Hunger Games: The Capitol Strikes Back.

Katniss has found Prim but has lost Peeta. District 13 surfaces. Peeta & Katniss become political pawns as the beginnings of a civil war brew. The series turns darker with bombing runs, resistance raids, propaganda films, and a covert rescue mission where you can almost hear Admiral Ackbar scream "it's a trap". Katniss continues to dominate the serious side with her emotional bursts while Effie carries the comic relief. Of course, any film labeled "Part 1" is bound to leave audiences a bit unsatisfied and wanting more. It all feels like a slow set up for the big finale.

Alien gives it 3 "the hanging tree" stars out of 4.
