The Hunger Games [4K Ultra HD Blu-ray/Blu-ray] [Includes Digital Copy] [2012]

I saw this movie from start to finish and it was the bomb. This Hunger Games movie was off the chain and I say that this movie is way better than the rest of the other Hunger Games movies that I ever seen and if they have another Hunger Games movie that I want to get from Best Buy, I will be first in line to get it because the Hunger Games movies are truly my favorite movies ever. Thank you very much Best Buy, yours truly, Zaida Quijano.

I was going to a teenagers birthday party from a neighbor on my block. Had a credit from B.B. so why not!!!! Ended up being a "surprised perfect gift for Nichole & her Mom also impressed with my choice of selection! Thanks for the $5.00 bin @ the check out line!

Great opener in the Hunger Games series. I really liked the story, plot, well acted and direction. J Law is shines bright in this movie that propelled her career! Lenny Kravitz always gives a solid performance as well. ~fin

It is always disturbing to see what could possibly happen to society in the future. In a way, it seems as though the movie tells the major part of the story as though it were reality TV. The country had been previously ravished by civil unrest. A powerful group has dominated, becoming the elite...the Capitol. The other factions have become laborers each within their specific "district" based upon the primary resource available. People are provided the basic necessities in exchange for the continued provision of the raw materials needed to maintain the Capitol's lavish lifestyle. Life in the districts seems to be stuck in the mid-twentieth century whereas the Capitol has progressed into a highly advanced (and gaudy) level. To keep people in line, an annual "game" has been started...the Hunger Games...where each district sends one male and one female to the Capital where they receive a bit of pampering and heavy training before being sent to the staging area of the games. Once there, it is a fight to the end. Survival skills are tested, not only from the elements, but in how to survive from being killed by other participants. The entire time the game is going on, cameras everywhere are filming every move of each player and broadcasting the "show" back to the Capitol and districts, and if the action gets too dull, a control center can manipulate the environment to make things more interesting for the viewers. In a way, it is like Survivor, except instead of being voted off the show, you are killed during the show. Only one person is meant to survive.

This movie is awesome! This is all I have to say. Now bestbuy if u don't like don't ask me to ever review a movie again!

When one thinks of a future Utopia, one imagines a place where people live in peace and harmony with many modern conveniences, yet in the Hunger Games you find that such a life only exists for the capital. The rest of the country, the "districts", are still barely surviving being forced into their routines at times by "peace-keepers." And to prevent future chances of civil war, the Hunger Games are created where a male and female from each district will go, to fight. Only one is supposed to survive out of all the contestants...the victor. And in the mean time, the whole country watches as the games are televised with ultra-modern technological advances. It is shocking to think that a society could actually reach that point. This isn't Survivor where we are looking to see who the last one voted off is, but to find out who actuallly lives to reach the end of the game.

Saw this in the theater, owned it on Blu-ray. So is the 4K UHD version worth buying again ??? The answer in short is YES. However that comes with some exceptions. If you own a 4K Blu-ray Player then most likely you already own a 4K TV. That's the only way to enjoy this version of the Movie. Is that still enough to buy again ??? Well for me not exactly. I purchased again because of the added Dolby Atmos Soundtrack. The standard Blu-ray uses a DTS 7.1 sound codec.. So if you have an Atmos enabled receiver and height / ceiling speakers installed then YES this is a much improved version of the movie.

Great movie with a well written plot. I would reccomend for anyone to watch this 13 and up I would say it's a must see. I enjoy movies in post apocalyptic modern/futuristic settings. The story shows a side of humanity that is important to remember in today's society. In our fast paced modern world we must not forget what makes us human, and how we treat others. It is a story of morality in that the main character Katniss does not forget where she comes from as she struggles between two worlds, one of the "haves" and the "have nots". A well done filmiworthy of any film collection.
