A Manipulated Atmosphere
The games, staged outdoors in a manipulated Atmosphere with deadly fog, flash floods, and lightning strikes, imply death to all yet one Tribute (the name assigned to these expected to fight in the games). Defiant Katniss plans to keep alive just extended adequate to make confident Peeta survives, though he has virtually the similar plan - only reversed - as he hopes she is the sole survivor.

It really is a extended film, and by the time the game begins, viewers expect a substantial payoff for the wait. Fortunately, they get it. This game delivers unexpected twists, character improvement, non-cease action, and widespread feelings. Let the Hunger Games continue!
